All central government employees are waiting for the announcement of DA.

All central government employees are waiting for the announcement of DA.

Dearness Allowance is not only important for Central Government employees but also for all the State Government employees.

As we all know, generally, Dearness Allowance is given twice a year based on the inflation rates.
Mostly, this DA has been released at end of February or March. Occasionally, it has been released in the month of April.

Only after the DA for the Central Government employees is announced, most of the State Governments will make DA announcements. After the approval of the Cabinet, the Finance Minister will announce the DA order.

The pensioners have placed a plea to the government to release the DR Relief order also when it announces the Dearness Allowance in order to avoid possible delays in getting DR Relief.

In this scenario, it is natural for the employees to expect the announcement of DA every day. Let us hope that the announcement will come soon.

Past years announcement of Dearness Allowance date vised table below.

Dearness Allowance Effect Date	Percentage of Dearness Allowance	Announcement Date
01/07/2011	58%	15/09/2011
01/01/2012	65%	23/03/2012
01/07/2012	72%	24/09/2012
01/01/2013	80%	18/04/2013
01/07/2013	90%	20/09/2013
01/01/2014	100%	28/02/2014
01/07/2014	107%	04/09/2014
01/01/2015	May be 113% (6%)	?

DA Announcement for TN Government Staff Awaited…

DA Announcement for TN Government Staff Awaited…

On September 18, 2014, the Ministry of Finance announced that the Central Government employees were to get Dearness Allowance of 7% from July onwards. Following the announcement, various state governments too have been announcing Dearness Allowance of 7% to its staff. (Rajasthan Government DA Order & Karnataka Government DA Order)

It is a well known fact that the Tamil Nadu state government is in a crisis following the conviction of J. Jayalalithaa in the disproportionate assets case. O. Paneerselvam has been chosen as the new Chief Minister of the state.

More than 18 lakh state government employees, pensioners and their dependents are eagerly waiting for the Dearness Allowance announcement from the new Chief Minister. They are wondering if the new government would grant the arrears and release the Government Order before Diwali this year.

Let us hope that the new Chief Minister makes their dreams come true on the occasion of Diwali and announces a 7% DA this time.
