Whenever the government announces an increase in DA , it will be considered applicable only from July 1. Along with this , the process of formation of the 8th Pay Commission is also expected to speed up .

7th Pay Commission is ending on 31 December 2025

The period of the 7th Pay Commission is going to end on 31 December 2025. In such a situation, now the eyes of the employees are on the 8th Pay Commission . About 50 lakh central government employees and about 62 lakh pensioners across the country are expecting a better salary structure from the 8th Pay Commission. Although the government had announced the 8th Pay Commission in January 2025, the chairman of the commission has not been appointed yet. Due to this, its process is getting delayed. But it is believed that now rapid steps will be taken in this direction.

Government salary not only includes basic salary but also many allowances

The salary of a government job is not limited to just the basic salary . It includes many allowances like DA i.e. dearness allowance , HRA i.e. house rent allowance and TA travel allowance. In today’s time, these allowances have become about 50% of the total salary.

DA is reviewed every 6 months

The government reviews the Dearness Allowance ( DA) every 6 months. This review is based on the inflation data ( CPI) . The review for July 2025 has been done, but no official announcement has been made by the government so far. It is believed that a big announcement may be made before 15 August 2025. It is expected that the dearness allowance may increase by 3 to 4 percent.

Salary is decided by the fitment factor

The actual increase in salary is done through the fitment factor. In the 7th Pay Commission, this factor was 2.57. Now according to reports, in the 8th Pay Commission, it can be between 1.83 to 2.46. If an employee’s basic salary is Rs 18,000 and 2.46 fitment factor is applied, then his salary can be up to Rs 44,280.

Employees are waiting for the government’s announcement

Now all the government employees and pensioners are looking forward to the next announcement of the government . If the DA increases and the process of 8th Pay Commission starts, then it can be a relief and happy news for lakhs of people .

Dearness allowance will increase for the first time in the year 2024. However, we will have to wait till March for the announcement from the government. After the inflation figures come, it will be known how much the allowance should increase. It is clear from the figures so far that there will be an increase of 4 percent in dearness allowance and it will reach 50 percent. But, it is implemented for the employees only after the approval of the government. The government usually approves increase in dearness allowance only after a gap of two months.

Why will dearness allowance increase only by 4 percent?

The dearness allowance figure for central government employees is based on the AICPI index numbers. It is seen twice a year on a half-yearly basis. The first from January to June and the second from July to December. The numbers between January and June decide how much dearness allowance will increase from July. At the same time, the figures from July to December decide how much the dearness allowance will increase in January.

Till now the numbers of November AICPI index have come. An increase of 0.7 points was seen in the index and it stood at 139.1 points. According to DA calculator, dearness allowance on the basis of index has reached 49.68 percent. Because the digit after the decimal is more than 0.50, it will be considered as 50 percent. In such a situation an increase of 4 percent is visible.

DA will be finalized from December index

The November numbers have indicated that the Dearness Allowance (DA Hike) will be 50 percent. But, the December number is yet to come. In such a situation, even if the index increases by 1 point, the dearness allowance will reach only 50.40 percent. 

Even in such a situation, dearness allowance will be 50 percent. Even if the index rises by 2 points, DA will reach only 50.49 percent, even then it will be 50 percent on decimal basis. Therefore, it is confirmed that this time also the increase in dearness allowance will be only 4 percent. But, we will have to wait for the December numbers for the final numbers. 

Take a look at the index from July to December

DA will become 0 after 50 percent

Under the 7th pay commission, central employees will get 50 percent DA from January 2024. But, after this the dearness allowance will be reduced to zero. After this the calculation of dearness allowance will start from 0. 50 percent DA will be added to the basic salary of the employees. Suppose if the minimum basic salary of an employee according to his pay band is Rs 18000, then 50 percent of Rs 9000 will be added to his salary.
