The central government has changed the dearness allowance (DA) rates for board-level executives and supervisors in central public sector Enterprises (CPSEs). The dearness allowance is revised from time to time to help the government employees and pensioners adjust for inflation and rising cost of living.
Following the IDA pattern of 1992 pay scales, the rates of DA payable to executives of CPSEs holding board-level posts, below-board-level posts, and non-unionized supervisors are to be modified as stated in the Department of Public Enterprises notification:
