The Centre has not withdrawn its earlier order of DA hike suspension. Government employees and pensioners will continue getting their DAs at 17 per cent rate, instead of the hiked 21 per cent.
A message claiming that the Centre has withdrawn its earlier order to suspend dearness allowance (DA) hike is doing the rounds. Taking to Twitter, the Centre has clarified that it is fake news as no such new order has been passed. Government employees and pensioners receive DA which compensates for rising inflation.
On April 23, it was announced that the central government employees and pensioners will not get the new rates (21 per cent) of DA, which they were supposed to get from January 1, 2020. The DA rate will be again revised on July 1, 2021 taking into account of the previous hikes.
