The three installment dues (DA Arrears) of central employees between January 2020 and June 2021 have not been received. This is 11 per cent. After the opening of the lockdown due to the epidemic corona, the government lifted the ban on freeze DA.
But, after July 2021, the increased dearness allowance was paid. But, no money was received for the period of 18 months.
