DA Arrears Release to Central Govt Employees and Pensioners – Latest Update

March 27, 2023 Ekanathan 3 Comments

Are you eagerly awaiting the release of 18 months’ worth of DA arrears for Central Government employees and pensioners that were stopped during the Covid-19 epidemic?

Currently, there isn’t a plan by the Central Government to distribute the Dearness Allowance (DA) arrears spanning 18 months to central government employees and retired individuals who receive pensions.

Look no further than the latest update from Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance, Shri Pankaj Chaudhary. The decision to freeze three instalments of Dearness Allowance (DA)/Dearness Relief (DR) was made in response to the economic disruption caused by the pandemic. The Government’s fiscal deficit is currently at more than double the level anticipated in the FRBM Act due to Covid-19’s financial impact in 2020 and the funding of Government welfare measures. As a result, releasing the arrears of DA/DR, which mainly pertain to the challenging period of FY 2020-21, is not currently feasible. However, the Government saved and utilized an impressive amount of 34,402.32 crores by freezing three installments of Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief to mitigate the pandemic’s economic impact on Central Government employees and pensioners.

Unstarred Question No. 1971.
To be answered on Tuesday, 13th March, 2023
Phalguna 22, 1944 (Saka)

Release of DA Arrears to Central Government Employees and Pensioners

1971:: SHRI C. LALROSANGA:

Will the Minister of Finance be pleased to state:

(a) whether the Government has any plan to release the 18 months DA Arrears stopped during Covid-19 Epidemic to Central Government Employees and Pensioners in the near future and if so, the details thereof and the time by when the Government is likely to release the arrears;

(b) the reasons for the delay in the release of said DA arrears; and

(c) the total amount of funds required for the disbursement of the DA Arrears to Central Government Employees and Pensioners?

Answer
Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance
(Shri Pankaj Chaudhary)

(a)&(b): No, Sir, The decision to freeze three instalments of Dearness Allowance(DA)/Dearness Relief (DR) to Central Government employees/pensioners due from 01.01.2020, 01.07.2020 & 01.01.2021 was taken in the context of COVID-19, which caused economic disruption, so as to ease pressure on Government finances. As the adverse financial impact of pandemic in 2020 and the financing of welfare measures taken by Government had a fiscal spill over beyond FY 2020-21, arrears of DA/DR which mostly pertain to the difficult FY of 2020-21 are not considered feasible. Even now the fiscal deficit of the Government is running at more than double the level envisaged in the FRBM Acct.

(c): Does not arise. However, an amount of Rs.34402.32 crores had been saved and utilized to tide over the economic impact of COVID-19 pandemic on account of freezing of three installments of Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief payable to Central Government employees and pensioners.

    Respected Modi Ji,
    Central Govt employees have understood the issue and have not fallen back in cooperating with the Govt be in times of Natural disasters or other economic issues. Those hard times are over now. Considering at least the conditions of lakh of Pensioners it would be a good decision if the Govt. release the withheld DA/DR arrears and also consider other issues like the release of DA/DR from Jan 2023, the fitment factor of the 7th PC, , and the periodical pay revision as per 7th PCR .i.e. instead of going ahead to appoint the 8th PC and making the employees and pensioners wait for 4 more years.

    Honorable PM MODIJI and respective ministers are requested to kindly release the 18% da arrears to all central govt employees giving a reason for freezing DA ..was to encounter then economic crisis due to the pandemic is very well understood but why not the amount can be released when there is a Record collection of GST received by the govt…hence the decision of depriving the rights of settling the dues is absolutely not justified.
