 Press Statement

Department of Public Enterprises today (19th) issued order freezing Dearness Allowance due to be paid from October 2020 to the employees of CPSE. It has also frozen DA up to June 2021. The stated reason is covid-19.

The Government is giving concessions to the corporates even under covid situation.

Nearly 10 lakh CPSE employees and 2 lakh BSNL, MTNL pensioners are affected by this order.

When prices of almost all  essential commodities are increasing, freezing of dearness allowance to the employees and particularly pensioners would adversely affect their purchasing power which will have impact on Indian economy.

We strongly protest against the decision and urge the Central government to withdraw the order in the interest of our economy.
