The Government Thursday decided to freeze the Dearness Allowance (DA) to Central Government Employees and Dearness Relief (DR) to pensioners till January 2021 in view of the crisis arising out of COVID-19.
The decision was taken in the meeting of Union Cabinet on Wednesday. This move will affect about 49.26 lakh central government employees and 61.17 lakh pensioners.
This comes on the back of the government already effecting a cut in salaries of Ministers, Prime Minister, President and members of parliament by 30%.
