In a related development, it is learnt that a meeting will be held in the end of this month to take final call on arrears and pending DAs. As per Live Mint, a meeting between Central government servants' representative body National Council of JCM, officials from the Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) and Ministry of Finance has been scheduled for June 26.

So far, the government had not confirmed anything on the arrears. The meeting schedule on June 26 will throw clear picture on arrear benefits of DA and DR under the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission.
Currently, Central Government employees DA is 17%, which is expected to be hiked by another 11 %. The increase in the DA is likely to include a 3 percent hike from January to June 2020, a 4 percent from July to December 2020, and another 4 percent hike from January to June 2021 that is (17 + 4 + 3 + 4) 28 percent.
