Generally, the government increases the gratuity twice every year. The increase will be effective from January 1 and July 1. During the Corona pandemic, the central government had suspended the increase in basic pay of employees. The amount of arrears of allowance for this period has not yet been paid.

The central government employees are constantly demanding to give this. Now it is said that the central government can fulfill this demand. Now if the gratuity hike is announced for July 2023, the employees will get the arrears from July 1 along with their salary.
