New Delhi [India], March 24 (ANI): The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday gave its approval to release an additional instalment of Dearness Allowance to central government employees and Dearness Relief to pensioners with effect from January 1, 2023.
The additional instalment will represent an increase of 4 per cent over the existing rate of 38 per cent of the basic pay/pension to compensate against price rise.
