Can't have different DA hikes for staff and pensioners: Supreme Court The Supreme Court has ruled that differential dearness benefit increases for serving employees and pensioners are arbitrary. Inflation impacts both equally, making a 14% DA hike for serving staff and only 11% DR for retirees discriminatory. The court stated that while financial constraints can justify implementation delays, unequal benefit rates violate the right to equality. #Supreme_Court #Supreme #Court #staff #differential_dearness #serving_employees #pensioners #serving_staff #dearness_benefit #benefit_increases
