Union minister Anurag Thakur has declared that Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) benefits for Indian government employees and pensioners have been increased from 17% to 28% with effect from July 1, this year.  This was a much-awaited announcement that comes as a major relief for lakhs of central government employees and pensioners after DA and DR was put on hold last year in the wake of the pandemic.

In an interview, Thakur said, “In view of the unprecedented situation, which arose due to the Covid-19 pandemic, three additional instalments of Dearness Allowance to the central government employees and Dearness Relief to the pensioners, which were due,”
