Central government employees and pensioners have been waiting for the dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR) hike announcement for June 2026. Now the All India Defence Employees’ Association has written a letter to the Cabinet Secretary and other ministries to announce the DA soon.
The AIDFE, which is the key civilian defence employee body in India, has also reiterated its demand to increase the performance-linked bonus wage ceiling from Rs 7,000, to Rs 21,000.
