AIDEF requests govt to announce DA hike soon
All India Defence Employees’ Association has penned a letter to the Cabinet Secretary and relevant ministries, urging a swift announcement of the dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR) hike for central government employees and pensioners. This demand comes amid escalating prices of essential commodities, leaving employees in a financial crisis.
The letter, dated October 10, 2026, highlights the delay in the DA announcement as a major concern. The AIDEF requests the government to announce the DA/DR hike from July 1, 2026, at the earliest.
