All Members of the Staff Side,
National Council(JCM)
Dear Comrades,
Sub: Brief of the meeting held today with the Cabinet Secretary (Government of India)
Met today with the Cabinet Secretary (Government of India) and handed him over a copy of our letter dated 16th January, 2021, expressing our anguish over freezing of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief payable to the Central Government Employees and Pensioners/Family Pensioners. I also demanded for payment of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief with arrears since 01.01.2020.
During the course of discussion, the Cabinet Secretary said that the country was passing through an unprecedented situation, that is why, Government had to take such an action, but he further said that there should not be any doubt that freezing of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief will continue even after 30th June 2021.
I also asked him that, no action has been taken our letter dated 11th January 2021 (Reg. undue delay in settling the issues discussed in the meeting of the Standing Committing of NC/JCM and 47th meeting of the NC/JCM). He immediately called Addl. Secretary(East.), DoP&T, and asked her to organize all the meetings due as well as to get implemented the issues agreed in the meetings of the NC/JCM referred to above.
The above is for your information.
Comradely yours,

Dear Comrades,
Sub: Brief of the meeting held today with the Cabinet Secretary (Government of India) – Clarification – Reg.
Ref.: Our earlier letter of even number dated 18th January 2021
Many of our Comrades have some confusion that, in the meeting held on 18th January 2021, the Cabinet Secretary (Government of India), had said that, freezing of DA/DR will be continued after 30th June 2021, that is not correct.
It is, therefore, clarified that, during the course of discussion, he never mentioned that, freezing of DA/DR will be continued after 30th June 2021. We, therefore, hope that DA/DR will be paid after 30th June 2021.
The above is for your information.
Comradely yours,
