With this increase in September, the arrears of two months of July and August will also be given in the salary.

Will I get 18 months DA arrears?

The government is unlikely to release the 18 months of dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR) arrears withheld during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the recent monsoon session of Parliament, two members asked the government a question regarding DA arrears. The government was asked whether the government is considering releasing 18 months of dearness allowance or relief of central government employees and pensioners, which was withheld during COVID-19.

In response to this question, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary said no. He said that it was decided to stop three installments of DA and DR to reduce financial pressure during the pandemic. In view of the economic crisis caused by the pandemic in 2020 and the financial needs for the steps taken by the government, it was not considered right to release DA and DR arrears.
