This is the biggest gift of the Modi government to the central government employees who are fighting as warriors against Coronavirus in the country. And hopefully, the state governments will also give this gift to their state govt employees very soon. So congratulations to all the warriors
Thangmang Kuki says
The center govt decision in this regard is not acceptable. the govt must roll back its decision in the interests of cge.
Vivek says
On one side this govt is talking of giving relief to all the sectors in order to boost their economic condition and on the other hand it decided to freeze the DA for central govt employees when the situation is such that price of every essential commodity and essential services hiked in the name of corona as we are seeing everyday in the news channel. This govt should reconsider his this decision. This govt did not merge the DA as it was planned during 6th pay commission and not given the 7th pay commission as per the existing situation.
Ramesh says
The dirtiest face of govt of India just fooling the public, stopped DA doesn’t matter but stop the price rise too where govt failed n honest govt employees irrespective of rank n pensioners especially r suffering since they r solely dependent on honest earning. Dishonest employees don’t have any problems since they earned a lot.
P C Mathaikutty says
The AICPIN for the month of June 2021, will be available only on 31.7.2021. The DA payable for the period from July 21 to Dec 21 can be decided only after 31st July 21.The chances of a govt decision in this regard may be taken only after 15th Aug.21. No doubt govt decision may give retrospective effect. But central govt employees need not be very complacent about restoration of entire due amount.The govt has full powers to pay the amount in instalments and since the employees and pensioners have none to support,the possibility of such a decision cannot be ruled out in view of Covid 19 pandemic.
