Central government employees get a Dearness Allowance of 17 per cent. In March 2020, the Union Cabinet had hiked the Dearness Allowance by 4 per cent to 21 per cent. However, in April 2020, the government halted the hikes of Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief for government employees and pensioners, respectively, due to the financial situation amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
