SAT directs West Bengal Govt. to settle arrears of D.A. to state employees by 16th December

 The Special Administrative Tribunal of SAT has directed the state Govt. to settle the arrears of D.A. of Govt. employees by December 16. Today was SAT's virtual hearing. Last July, the SAT upheld the 2019 verdict by dismissing the state's review petition in this case.

Accumulated Central D.A./D.R after 1st July 2020

 Everybody knows that Central Govt. has put on hold any increase of D.A./D.R. to central employees and pensioners with retrospective effect from 1st January 2020. Already declared D.A. wef 1st January 2020 was also taken back. The D.A./D.R will not be paid by Govt. upto June 2021 and as per notification issued, the enhance D.A./D.R. will be payable from 1st July 2021 with prospective effect.

So the D.A. is accumulating for the employees and pensioners and all pending D.A. will be paid in the month of July 2021 onwards but  of course without any arrears.

Let us see the percentage of increase in the meanwhile. 

January 2020 : @ 4%

July 2020         @ 3%

A total of 7% is already on hold and two more installments to go.

Following the move of Central Govt. all state Govt.s have also stopped increase in DA/DR for their employees and pensioners silently.

It will not be out of context to mention that Bank and other PSUs are releasing D.A. without any embargo.
