New Delhi: Central government employees could receive bonuses from three different places ahead of Diwali 2021. Firstly, employees could receive a dearness allowance (DA) hike, secondly, they could receive DA arrears for the month of July and August 2021 if reports are to be true and lastly, they could receive the interest on Provident Fund (PF) interest in their account just before Diwali 2021.

DA hike 

As of now, the Central government hasn’t announced the hike on dearness allowance (DA). However, the All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI) data for January to May 2021 indicates that DA for central government employees could increase by 3%. If reports are to be true, then the government could increase the DA around Diwali 2021.
