Hon’ble Finance Minister,

Ministry of Finance.

New Delhi.

Dear Sir,

Sub: Payment of Dearness Allowance to Central Government Employees and Pensioners

It is very unfortunate that the announcement for the payment of Dearness Allowance is being delayed badly and is creating lots of frustration among the Central Government Employees as well as Pensioners. Particularly Railway Employees, who are the prime mover of the wheel of the development and growth of the nation, they also feel frustrated because of inordinate delay in the announcement for the payment of Dearness by the Government of India (Ministry of Finance).

In this connection, it is worth-mentioning that, it has never happened ¡n the past so many years when payment of Dearness Allowance has not been announced before 31st March.

All India Railwaymen’s Federation, representing more than 13 lakh Railwaymen as well lakhs of Central Government Employees and Pensioners (through the NC/JCM), strongly protests against the delay in announcement of Dearness Allowance and demands that it should be announced immediately to avoid any confrontation.
