The Supreme Court had asked the government to consider it. The court had said that this is the right of the employees. You can freeze it but can't stop it. Pensioners had also appealed to PM Modi regarding their DR arrears.

How much money will be made from DA Arrears?

If the central employees get the outstanding amount of DA, then a good amount will come in their account. According to an estimate, the DA arrears of employees at Level-3 can be between Rs 11,880 to Rs 37,554.

For Level-13 or Level-14, the arrears of employees can range between Rs 1,44,200 to Rs 2,18,200. However, negotiations with the government can lead to settlement. In this case the figure will change.
