Associations of Union government employees made a submission to the finance secretary on June 9 demanding that the New Pension Scheme (NPS) be withdrawn.
There is a lot of hope on the employee side that their demand for arrears for the duration when DA hikes were frozen will be answered this time.
The Central government has increased the DA by 11% , but the arrears of DA owed to the employees during that period have not yet been reimbursed.
The Union Cabinet has increased Dearness allowance (DA) of the Central Government Employees by 4% taking it effectively at 38 per cent from 34 per cent.
As per fresh reports, the Central government employees should not lose hope on getting the outstanding DA arrears in their account of the last 18 months i.e, from January 2020 to June 2021.
