Sub:- Undue delay in declaration of DA/DR due to Central Government employees & pensioners w.e.f. 01/01/2026

Dear Sir,

You are well aware that so far the DA/DR instalment due to the Central Government employees and pensioners w.e.f January is declared during the last week of March every year. Unfortunately this year so far the Government has not declared DA/DR due from 01/01/2026. This has created discontentment and apprehensions amongst the Central Government employees & Pensioners.

We request you to kindly intervene in the matter and arrange for declaration of DA/DR instalment due from 01/01/2026 without further delaying the matter.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully,

(Shiva Gopal Mishra)
Secretary
