    1. Govt. is giving us IDA rate of 1st April, not of 1st July. Like they gave 28% (DA of 1st Jan) to Central Govt. Employees instead of 31% (DA of 1st July).

      1. Because no one is there to question the Government. Further, Govt is unable to provide the logical answer to the question. Probably, this is to avoid increase of HRA for CPSU employees.
