The DA and DR have been increased from 50% to 53%, effective from July 1. This hike, announced ahead of Diwali, provides significant relief to about one crore Central government employees and pensioners, helping to offset inflation through the biannual revision.
Taking to Twitter, the Finance Ministry said a fake document is doing rounds on social media claiming resumption of DA to Central Government employees and Dearness Relief to Central Government pensioners.
