However, in April 2020, the government halted the hikes of Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief for government employees and pensioners, respectively, due to the financial situation amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The government had then said that Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief would continue to be paid at the current rate 17 per cent. The Centre had paused the hike till June 2021.
