DA Arrears of 18 months : No hope

DA arrear of 18 months
During the Covid-19, three instalments of DA arrears- January 1, 2022, July 1, 2020, and Jan 1, 2021, were stopped. The Finance Minister has made it clear to central government employees that arrears of 18 months will not be available. 
 
In July 2021, the government reinstated Dearness Allowance. However, there was no mention of the three payments' money that had been unpaid for the previous 18 months. Beginning on July 1, 2021, the government increased the dearness allowance by 11%. After that, the dearness allowance increased from 17 to 28 per cent starting in July 2021. However, it is currently at 38%. However, the workers also demanded compensation for the 18 months that the dearness allowance was halted.
