On February 23, 2021, the Indian government announced a new Dearness Allowance (DA) for bank employees, retirees, and family pensioners. This is the first time in three years that bank employees have received an increase in their DA.

The new DA rate is 8% of the basic salary, which is an increase of 2% from the previous rate of 6%. This increase will be applicable with effect from January 1, 2021, and will be paid to bank employees and pensioners from April 2021 onwards.

The increase in the DA rate is expected to benefit over 8 lakh bank employees and pensioners. It is estimated that the increase in DA will cost the Indian government around Rs. 3000 crore.

The new DA rate has been welcomed by the bank employees and pensioners. It is expected to provide some relief to the bank employees, who have been facing financial difficulties due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The increase in DA is also expected to help the pensioners, who have been facing a financial crunch due to the rising cost of living. The increase in DA is expected to provide some relief to the pensioners, who have been struggling to make ends meet.

The increase in DA will also benefit the families of the bank employees and pensioners. It is expected to provide some financial security to the families of the bank employees and pensioners.
