All Government employees and pensioners in India are getting 17% of DA and DR of their basic salary or basic pension from 1.1.2020 till 30.6.2021.

The announcement of DA from July 2021 is very important for all Government employees and pensioners including Railways and Armed Forces Personnel.

1st July 2020: 24% (21% + 3%)

1st January 2021: 28% (24% + 4%)

1st July 2021: 32% (Expected)

Total additional DA and DR from July 2021: 17%+ 4%+3%+4%+4%

1st July 2021: 4% + 28% = 32% (Expected)
