In what comes as a major relief for government employees, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved the release of an additional instalment of Dearness Allowance to central government employees and Dearness Relief to pensioners with effect from January 1, 2019. This will involve an increase of 3% over the existing rate of 9% of the basic pay or pension.
