  1. As the DA crossed 50% land mark, it has an effect on various allowances for those in Service, which is not applicable to pensioners. In the present rate of inflation the DR alone will not help to survive. Hence Govt should come forward to merge the DR up to 50% . with the basic pension then calculate the new DR.

  2. All the pensioners may please go through the details showing the effect of 50% DA on other allowances for those in service.

  3. The allowances effected by 50 % DA are given below
