Like central government employees eagerly awaiting the dearness allowance (DA) hike announcement, pensioners are also waiting to know when the government will announce a hike in dearness relief (DR).
As the pensioners continue to wait for the DR hike, the Bharat Pensioners Samaj (BPS), an organisation that claims to have 1 million central government pensioners as its members, wrote a letter to the Cabinet secretary, requesting him to intervene and instruct concerned departments to announce the DR hike soon.
