Central government employees are waiting for the restoration of Dearness Allowance (DA) for a long time. As per an update, the central government is expected to restore the 7th pay commission DA and DR benefits for the central government employees and pensioners soon. Not only that, but the Dearness Allowance of three months is also expected to come in September itself. Currently, central employees get Dearness Allowance at the rate of 17 per cent. However, the wait for the restoration of DA, DR benefits that were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic last year could get longer.
