18 Months DR Arrears Calculator for CG Pensioners

Dearness Relief (DR) Arrears Calculator for Central Government Pensioners

The central government has recently announced the postponement of Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief for its employees and pensioners from 1.1.2020 to June 2021, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. This has impacted all central government employees, pensioners, and family members for a period of 18 months. Although the finance ministry has lifted the suspension, arrears for the suspended period will not be released yet. Various Unions, Federations, and JCM Staff sides have demanded immediate release of arrears. To assist employees and pensioners in calculating their arrears for the past 18 months based on their basic salary, we are providing a simple and easy-to-use online tool – the DR (Dearness Relief) Arrears Calculator for CG Pensioners.
