By increasing the DA percentage the employees in the central government are very happy. Then, by this time the employees are most awaited for the arrears amount for the previous year. Last year, the central government did not announce the hike in DA allowance. For that, the government should pay arrears amount for employees. Now, clear that the central government will add arrears amount to the DA allowance in the salary of the employees.
