New Delhi: Employees of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) have expressed anger over non-payment of dearness allowance (DA) and bonus for years. Their financial difficulties have increased as the pending amount has not been paid even during the festival period. Employee organisations have demanded early payment from the corporation administration and warned of agitation.
The matter is linked particularly to employees of wards 216 and 217 in the North-East zone. According to the employee organisation, the dearness allowance of these employees from 2013 to 2026 is pending. The bonus for 2019, 2020 and 2021 has also not been paid so far. In addition, the bonus for 2025-26 has not been released.
Mazdoor Karmachari Union president Rahul Bohot said wards 216 and 217 were transferred from the Shahdara South zone to the North-East zone in April 2023, but the employees’ old dues were not settled. All India Mazdoor Congress Delhi state president Rakesh Ved has also written to the deputy commissioner of the North-East zone, raising the demand for payment.
Employee organisations say that because payments have been pending for years, employees are facing financial hardship even during festivals. They have demanded that the corporation administration examine the dues, ensure early payment and fix responsibility for the delay. So far, no official response or payment timeline has come from the corporation administration on these claims.
