The increase in DA reduced the dearness gap between central government employees and state government employees by 36 percent. Central government employees currently get 46 per cent DA. At the time of Mamata’s announcement, the Centre-State difference has been explained in this regard. He said that DA is mandatory for central government. But that is not the case with state governments. DA is optional in the state.
