National Coordination Committee of Pensioners' Associations (NCCPA) & Telangana All Pensioners' & Retired Person's Association (TAPRPA) & employees representatives demand immediate payment of DA/DR arrears impounded for 18 months from 1.1.2020 to 30.06.2021.
The pandemic was cited for non-payment of DA/DR for 18 months from 1.1.2020.The Central Government has granted the DA/DR rise of 11% due prospectively from 1.7.2021. But unfortunately, the entire arrears for 18 months is still impounded and not ordered to be released. After much representation the retired staff are allowed to draw the DA from the due date of 1.1.2020; 1.7.2020 and 1.1.2021 but arrears for the 18 months continue to be impounded to them also. The rise in cost of living is too much and the pensioners and family pensioners are struggling to cope up. It is pertinent to point out that in a Court Case filed against the Andhra State Government and also in the SLP filed by the Andhra Government in the Supreme Court, the judgment was given clearly in favour of employees and pensioners. The judgment ruled that no recovery of salary or DA/DR from employees and pensioners can be effected.
Therefore, the Central Government should come forward to release the impounded DA/DR for 18 months to its employees and pensioners / family pensioners.
