So, while officially they should be getting some 21 pct under 7th CPC dispensation, actually, they are getting DA amount at the old rate of 17 pct. Considering the price rise seen during this year, this has really affected the finances of staffers to a great extent. The central government has been facing problems regarding revenues due to the pandemic and it has been forced to give DA at the old rates.
