DA কী সত‍্যিই পাবেন? পরবর্তী পরিস্থিতি কী হতে চলেছে?

This *Supreme Court of India* judgment addresses a protracted legal dispute between the *State of West Bengal* and its employees regarding the payment of *Dearness Allowance (DA)**. The Court affirmed that DA is a **legally enforceable right* designed to mitigate the erosion of purchasing power caused by inflation, rather than a mere bounty or act of charity. While the State argued that *paucity of funds* and fiscal autonomy should limit its obligations, the Court ruled that the State must adhere to the *All-India Consumer Price Index (AICPI)* as established in its own service rules. The judgment emphasizes that as a *model employer**, the State cannot bypass statutory commitments through executive memoranda or cite financial difficulty to deny earned compensation. Consequently, the Court directed the State to pay **accrued arrears* from 2008 to 2019, reinforcing the constitutional link between fair wages and the *right to dignity**. However, it clarified that employees do not have an inherent right to receive these disbursements **twice a year* unless specifically mandated by statute.
