7th pay commission alert! Dearness allowance talks delayed, when will you get your arrears?

The central government employees will have to wait a little longer for their Dearness Allowance (DA) arrears as part of the hike in the 7th pay commission pay matrix. 

New Delhi: The central government employees waiting for their Dearness Allowance (DA) arrears as part of the hike in the 7th pay commission pay matrix will, unfortunately, have to wait a little longer.  The reason behind the delay is that the talks between the National Council of JCM and central government officials from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) have delayed, according to a report by Mint. The discussion that will pave the way for the arrears of millions of central government employees was scheduled for the last week of May 2021, but got postponed due to the rising Covid-19 cases in India.
