Arrears of Dearness Allowance

 Arrears of Dearness Allowance to Government Employees

Dr. Lalit Kumar Setia
Arrears of Dearness Allowance

What are Arrears?

Whenever a person delivers services, he becomes entitled for remuneration for the services. In case of employees working in an organization, the remuneration in form of salaries paid after the end of a period (usually a month). The amount accrued from the date on which the first missed payment was due.

When Arrears are paid to Government Employees:

The employees get a salary hike or Dearness Allowance hike from the months which have been passed, but the amount is not received. Such amount is computed and paid as arrears to the Government employees. For example, the Dearness Allowance raised from 17% to 28% from 1st July 2021 and paid in the month of August with the salaries of July, then there will be no arrears.

But the increase in Dearness Allowance from 17% to 28%, was due from a long period of Covid-19 pandemic. 4% increase was pending from January to June 2020 and 3% was pending from July to December 2020. Further, 4% was pending from Jan to June 2021. It means 4%+4%+3% = 11% was pending to be provided to the Government employees due to compensate them as increase in Dearness Allowance in response to rise in the inflation.

Arrears for Dearness Allowance from 17% to 28% from July 2021:

In India, the Central Government and most of the State Governments have decided to freeze the Dearness Allowance (DA) of Government employees due to financial hardship in result of Covid-19 pandemic in India and the States. The Government of Haryana had already decided to not provide arrears of DA due from July 2020 to January 2021 (https://www.livemint.com/news/india/haryana-govt-freezes-dearness-allowance-at-current-rate-till-july-2021-11594105517856.html).

The Government had decided to restore the rate of Dearness Allowance prospectively and revised rate be effective from July 2021 with the remarks that no arrears for the period from Jan 2020 to June 2021 be provided. The letter of Finance Department, Government of Haryana dated 6th July 2020 stated that additional instalment of Dearness Allowance payable to Haryana Government Employees due from 1st Jan 2020 shall not be paid.

The letter is available at http://www.finhry.gov.in/FileUploads/Upload_7826f176-33d2-4a20-8514-2c7f82a19035_.PDF

Whether Government may decide to give Dearness Allowance Arrears or not?

As per the decision, the Government has decided that the arrears of Dearness Allowance shall not be paid. It happened due to financial hardship which come from the pandemic of Covid-19. In case, Government decides to give arrears, there will be huge cash outflow from the treasuries of Government.
