Punjab government appeals to Supreme Court over DA arrears payment deadline
The Punjab government has approached the Supreme Court to contest a directive from the Punjab and Haryana High Court that mandated the payment of outstanding dearness allowance within a fortnight. In its petition, the state government stated that meeting this deadline is not just challenging but constitutionally unfeasible. The plea further noted that the state had already sanctioned a strategy in 2025 to distribute the ₹14,191 crore in arrears through a phased approach spanning five years.
