The central government on Wednesday hiked the DA for the last time under the 7th Pay Commission before the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission. The central government on Wednesday approved a 3 percent hike in dearness allowance for its employees, taking the DA to 58 percent. The 7th Pay Commission expires in December 2025. This was the last hike under the current Pay Commission. This move, taken ahead of the Dussehra and Diwali festivals, is the second DA hike for central government employees in 2025.

It was last revised in March, when employees received a 2 percent increase in allowances. This increase has resulted in a salary increase for central government employees. The increased salary will be available from November, and three months’ arrears will also be paid. But the question is how much the salary increase is. Let’s find out.

How much did the 3% DA increase before the 8th Pay Commission increase salaries?

A 3% increase in dearness allowance for central government employees will increase salaries by another 3% of the basic pay. For example, under the 7th Pay Commission, an employee with a minimum basic pay of ₹18,000 will see a DA increase of approximately ₹540 in their monthly income.

This increase will bring the total salary of employees with the lowest basic pay to ₹28,440. In another example, an employee with a basic pay of ₹60,000 will now receive ₹34,800 as DA, up from ₹33,000 after the March increase.

Pensioners in the minimum pension category of ₹9,000 will receive an additional ₹270, bringing their total pension to ₹14,220 at a revised rate of 58 percent. The Eighth Pay Commission, announced in January, will determine further revisions to salaries and allowances. However, official notification regarding its members and tenure is awaited.

Salary will increase from November
With the DA increase, central government employees’ salaries will increase starting in November. The November salary will include three months’ arrears. The DA for the months of July, August, and September will be included in the October salary. October salaries can be credited from October 31st to the following month, i.e., November. However, employees’ salaries are credited on the last day of the month.

8th Pay Commission: The DA increase will provide immediate relief and additional funds for festive expenses. At the same time, the 8th Pay Commission recommendations will provide lasting financial benefits in the long term. This is a dual-benefit opportunity for central government employees and pensioners. First, the immediate benefit from the DA increase and second, the long-term benefit from the 8th Pay Commission recommendations. This Diwali is going to be special for central government employees and pensioners. The Modi government is preparing to take two major decisions that could directly improve the salaries and pensions of employees and pensioners.

Dearness Allowance (DA) Increase

Dearness Allowance (DA) is provided by the government to protect employees from inflation and is revised every six months. In March 2025, DA was increased from 53% to 55%. Now, according to media reports, it is likely to be increased to 58%, benefiting approximately 12 million central government employees and pensioners.

For example, if someone’s pension is ₹9,000, with 55% DA, it would be ₹4,950, while at 58% DA, it would increase to ₹5,220, resulting in a monthly increase of ₹270. While this amount may seem small on a monthly basis, over the course of the year, it would provide a significant additional income for employees and pensioners, including for festive expenses.

Good news may come before Diwali

The government announced the formation of the 8th Pay Commission on January 16, 2025. According to sources, the Commission’s Terms of Reference (ToR) may be finalized before Diwali, and the official constitution of the Commission will be approved soon. The Commission is likely to consist of approximately six members, who will review and recommend salaries, allowances, and pensions for the coming year.

Typically, the Pay Commission submits its report in 15-18 months. The government plans to complete it in just 8 months. If everything goes as planned, the new salary and pension structure could be implemented from January 1, 2026.

Direct Impact on Employees and Pensioners

The increase in DA will provide immediate relief and additional funds for festive expenses. The recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission will also provide lasting financial benefits in the long term. Thus, this is a dual benefit for central employees and pensioners: first, the immediate benefit from the DA increase and second, the long-term benefits from the 8th Pay Commission’s recommendations.

Second, updates may come regarding steps being taken towards the 8th Pay Commission. The government may announce a 3 percent DA increase in October 2025. Currently, employees and pensioners receive 55 percent DA. After the government’s increase, this will increase to 58 percent.

1.2 crore people will get benefit

This increase will directly benefit over 12 million employees and pensioners. The salary increase will also increase spending power during the festive season. This is why the government often provides relief to employees around Dussehra and Diwali.

DA revision is done twice a year.

from January to June

from July to December

In March 2025, the government increased the DA by 2 percent for the January-June period. This increased the DA from 53 percent to 55 percent. Now, a 3 percent increase is being considered for the July-December period.

What will be the impact on pension?

DA directly impacts salary and pension because it is calculated based on basic salary or basic pension. For example, if a pensioner’s basic pension is ₹9,000, they currently receive ₹4,950 at 55% DA, resulting in a total pension of ₹13,950. If DA were increased to 58%, the DA would increase to ₹5,220, bringing the total pension to ₹14,220. This means a benefit of approximately ₹270.

Why is this increase special?

The festive bonus, salary, and DA increase bring relief to employees and pensioners. In the current era of inflation, this increase will not only provide some relief to their pockets but also increase their spending capacity. This government move could prove to be good news for employees and pensioners ahead of the festive season.

A good news is coming for the central government employees working under the Seventh Pay Commission. The government may soon announce an increase in dearness allowance (DA). Looking at past trends, it is most likely that the central government will announce the next increase in DA/DR rate in September 2025. According to several media reports, the next DA/DR hike is expected to be around 3 percent. After this increase, it will increase to 58 percent. Let us tell you that earlier in March, the Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi approved a 2% increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DF) for central government employees and pensioners.

How much will DA increase

Dearness Allowance is calculated on the basis of All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI) and it has been increasing continuously in recent months. This is the reason why employees can get the benefit of salary hike soon. Currently, employees are getting 50% DA and after the upcoming increase, it can go up to 54%. This will increase the monthly income of lakhs of employees and pensioners and increase their purchasing power.

How much will the salary increase

On the minimum basic pay of Rs 18,000, a 3 per cent DA hike will add Rs 540 more. This will take the total minimum pay at 58 per cent DA under the 7th Pay Commission to Rs 28,440. Similarly, the 3 per cent DR hike will increase the minimum basic pension of Rs 9,000 by Rs 270, taking the total minimum pension at 58 per cent to Rs 14,220.

DA revision happens twice a year

The government usually revises DA twice a year i.e. in January and July. This time the increase may be announced in early September and its effect will be considered effective from July 2025. This means that the employees will not only get the increased DA, but will also get the arrears of the previous period. This will strengthen the pockets of the employees during the festive season and will also increase consumption in the market.

The central government may soon announce a hike in dearness allowance (DA) to employees and pensioners before Diwali. This could be the last hike in DA under the 7th Pay Commission, as the government is planning to implement the 8th Pay Commission from January 1, 2026. This time Diwali is on October 20. In such a situation, the government may give a Diwali gift to government employees and pensioners by adding the arrears with the September salary.

According to a report by Moneycontrol, DA is likely to increase by 3% to 4%. If the government approves a hike of 3%–4%, DA could reach 58%–59%. Currently DA is 55%. If DA increases by 3%, the monthly income of an entry-level employee with a basic salary of ₹ 18,000 will increase by about ₹ 540. Similarly, pensioners with a basic pension of ₹ 9,000 will get a benefit of ₹ 270. However, it will entirely depend on the government how much DA increases. The cabinet is likely to take a final decision on this in September-October.

DA is revised twice.

The government revises DA twice a year. The first time in January and the second time in July. The new rate will be effective from July 1. However, it is usually announced in September or October. Employees get their dues for July, August and September. Government employees will hope that the government will announce the DA hike in September before the festive season.

This is how dearness allowance is determined.

Dearness Allowance is calculated on the basis of Consumer Price Index of Industrial Workers (CPI-IW). The Labour Bureau releases this figure every month. The government decides DA under the 7th Pay Commission formula using the average CPI-IW of the last 12 months.

How much will be the benefit?

If DA increases by 3%, the monthly income of an entry-level employee with a basic salary of ₹18,000 will increase by about ₹540. Similarly, pensioners with a basic pension of ₹9,000 will get a benefit of ₹270. However, it will entirely depend on the government how much DA increases. The cabinet may take a final decision on this in September-October.

The AICPI index of January to June 2025 has made it completely clear that from July 1, 2025, there will be a definite increase of 3% in your Dearness Allowance.

This means that your DA will increase from 55% to 58% directly. So how much money will you get in your pocket every month? How was this DA score decided? And when will the government announce it? Let’s leave the confusion and understand the whole math here.

How was it confirmed? Understand the whole game of AICPI index

There is a scientific formula for deciding the dearness allowance of central employees in the 7th Pay Commission, which depends on the data of AICPI (All-India Consumer Price Index). You can consider it as a ‘thermometer’ of inflation. The Labor Bureau releases these figures every month. For the DA to be received from July, the figures from January to June are looked at.

What is dearness allowance?

Dearness Allowance or DA is the money that the government gives to its employees to give them relief from the effects of inflation. As the prices of things increase, DA is also increased. This increase happens twice a year. The first increase is done in January and the second is considered effective from 1 July. The government can announce the increase in DA anytime but it is considered effective from 1 January and 1 July. The government can announce the DA to be implemented from 1 July before Diwali.

How much can DA increase this time?

Currently, employees are getting 53% DA of their basic salary. If there is an increase of 3%, it will become 56%. And if there is an increase of 4%, it can reach 57%. This decision is based on a data of CPI-IW (Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers), which measures inflation. The data that has come till May 2025 indicates that there may be a DA hike of 3 to 4% in July.

What will be the impact on your salary?

If an employee’s basic salary is Rs 18,000, then currently he is getting 53% DA i.e. Rs 9,990. After 3% increase, DA will become Rs 10,440 i.e. Rs 540 more. Those whose basic salary is higher, this increase will benefit them more.

What will pensioners get?

Pensioners get DR (Dearness Relief) instead of DA, but its benefits are the same. Meaning, if DA increases then DR will also increase by the same amount.

When will the government make the announcement?

The CPI-IW data for June 2025 will come at the end of July. After this, the Union Cabinet can take a decision to increase DA in September-October. Then this increased allowance will be given with arrears from July 2025. Until the 8th Pay Commission is implemented, this DA hike is the only way to provide relief to the employees from the government. So if you are a central government employee or pensioner, then this 3-4% DA hike coming in July 2025 will bring some more relief to your pocket.

During this period, the employees were supposed to get DA in three installments, which is still pending.

Central government employees and pensioners have been demanding for a long time to pay the Dearness Allowance (DA) which was stopped during Covid-19. The Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers has once again raised the issue of long pending demands of central government employees and pensioners.

According to a circular issued by the Confederation, one of their various demands is to pay the arrears of Dearness Allowance (DA) withheld during the Covid pandemic. This DA arrears is from January 2020 to June 2021.

In this circular, the government has been asked to resolve many other issues including the pending DA issue as soon as possible. Let us tell you that in the circular issued on 7 March 2025, the Confederation said that due to the lack of attention of the central government, their legitimate demands have not been met yet. Employee organizations have been agitating for their demands for a long time.

What are the special demands of the Federation? 

The organization’s charter of demands includes several demands, such as:

• Demand for appointment of committee members including chairman under 8th Pay Commission.
• The New Pension Scheme (NPS) should be abolished and the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) should be restored.
• The three DA installments withheld during the Covid pandemic should be paid.
• The amount deducted from the pension of employees and pensioners should be restored in 12 years (currently this period is 15 years).
• The 5% limit on providing jobs on compassionate grounds should be abolished and all eligible applicants should be given appointment.
• The vacant posts in all departments should be filled immediately and outsourcing and privatization in government departments should be stopped.
• Employees’ organizations should be allowed to work democratically.

Know what is the issue related to DA arrears?

The central government increases the Dearness Allowance every year in January and July. But in 2020, due to the Covid pandemic, the government stopped the DA hike for 18 months. During this period, the employees were to get DA in three installments, which is still pending. The Federation says that the government should pay these pending arrears as it is the right of the employees and pensioners. But the government has not yet accepted their demand.

Will the government pay the DA arrears?

The government has made it clear on several occasions that it will not pay the DA arrears. The government’s argument on this is that it is not financially possible to do so. However, the Federation said in its circular that the employees will continue to raise their demands.

According to reports, the government may soon increase DA and Dearness Relief (DR). This decision will have a direct impact on the salary and pension of central employees. Let us tell you that this decision was being awaited for a long time and now the news is that a decision will be taken on it soon.

PM Modi can take a big decision in the cabinet meeting

There was speculation for a long time about the increase in DA by the government. Earlier it was expected that it would be announced before Holi, but it did not happen. Now the big update is that a final decision can be taken on this in the cabinet meeting to be held on 19 March 2025 under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. If a decision is taken to increase DA in this, then crores of employees and pensioners will get direct benefit from it.

DA likely to increase from 53% to 55%

According to reports, the government may announce a 2% increase in dearness allowance, which will increase the current DA from 53% to 55%. Dearness allowance is an important part of the salary of government employees, which is revised twice every year (January and July) to give them relief from rising inflation.  

Salary of employees will increase  

For example, if an employee’s Basic Pay is ₹1,00,000, then under the current 53% DA, he is getting ₹53,000. If DA increases by 2% to 55%, then now he will get ₹55,000, that is, there will be a direct increase of ₹2,000.  

Employees and pensioners will get direct benefit  

Dearness Allowance is given to government employees, while pensioners get it in the form of Dearness Relief (DR). This increase will benefit lakhs of central government employees and pensioners. 

How much benefit do Multi Tasking Staff (MTS) and entry-level employees get?  

An entry-level employee, whose basic pay is ₹ 18,000, will also get direct benefit of this increase.  

• Currently at 53% DA: ₹9,540  
• If 55% DA: ₹9,900  
• Direct benefit: Increase of ₹360  

If the DA increase would have been 3%, it would have reached ₹ 10,080, an increase of ₹ 540.  

The increase will be implemented from January 2025, will the arrears also be paid?

Any DA hike by the government will be effective from January 1, 2025. This means that employees will also get arrears from January to March 2025. Last time the government had increased DA by 3% in July 2024, due to which it increased from 50% to 53%. Now after the possible increase this time, DA can reach 55%.  

Now all eyes are on the Modi cabinet meeting to be held on March 19. If the government announces DA hike on this day, then all the employees and pensioners of the central government will get its benefit. This will increase the in-hand salary of the employees. Now it remains to be seen whether the government increases it by 2% this time or gives more relief than expected.

Now the DA of the employees has increased from 50 percent to 53 percent. After DA becoming 53 percent, once again the news of its merger in the basic salary has started coming. However, the government has also issued its statement on this. Expectations have started increasing from the statement issued by the government.

What will happen to dearness allowance?

After DA and DR cross the limit of 50%, DA and DR will automatically be added to the basic salary. However, such speculations have come many times. It was said in the 6th Pay Commission that when the dearness allowance crosses the limit of 50 percent, it will be added to the basic salary. Now the government has responded to this.

Will DA and DR be added to the basic salary?

The reports of the Fifth and Sixth Pay Commissions (para 105.11) recommended merging DA with the basic salary and terming such merger as dearness pay. Following this recommendation, in 2004, 50% of DA of the basic pay was merged to form dearness pay for the purpose of calculation of allowances and retirement benefits. But later this was changed. However, this change will not happen automatically. The government will have to take a decision on this.

The government said this

Central Government Employees will now get dearness allowance at the rate of 53 percent. However, when DA increased to 50 percent, it was believed that it would now be added to the basic salary and DA would be calculated separately. Now after DA became 53 percent, it has again become a topic of discussion. On this, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that the government is discussing it.

The Modi government has given a big gift to crores of central government employees and pensioners before Diwali. The government has announced a 3 percent increase in dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR) today on Wednesday. After this 3 percent increase in DA, the DA given to the employees will now increase to 53 percent. The DA hike is effective from July 1, 2024. So let us now know how much the salary of central employees will increase now?

Salary will increase by this much

Let us tell you that the DA of the central government employees is decided on the basis of their basic salary. If the basic salary of an employee is Rs 25 thousand, then after this increase his DA has become 53 percent. In such a situation, DA increases from Rs 12500 to Rs 13250. In this way, DA has increased by 750 per month. At the same time, the DA arrears of three months from July to September (750+750+750) becomes Rs 2250. All this will be added to the salary of October. It means that if the salary of the employee was Rs 50000 earlier by adding basic salary, DA and housing allowance i.e. HRA, then now it will be Rs 50750 from this month. At the same time, the arrears of three months will be Rs 2250.

What is the detail

Let us tell you that the government gives DA to central employees, while pensioners are given DR. Generally, DA and DR are increased twice a year in January and July. Earlier in the month of March, the government had announced a 4% increase in DA. In 2006, the central government revised the formula for calculating DA and DR for central employees and pensioners.

Even before the festival of Dhanteras and Diwali, the Modi government has given a gift to millions of employees of the country. The Union Cabinet led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has approved the decision to release DA on Wednesday. Although the Union Cabinet has taken this decision for central employees, but as soon as the green signal is received from the Center, the announcement of increasing DA will be made in all the states of the country. Along with increasing DA by 3 percent, the Union Cabinet has also announced to give three months’ arrears to the employees.

Let us tell you that the central government increases the dearness allowance (DA) of employees every year in January and July. This year i.e. in 2024 also, DA was increased by 4 percent in January, while the decision to increase the DA of July was taken in the meeting held today. This is the reason why this increase of 3 percent in dearness allowance will be considered applicable from July itself. In this sense, the arrears of July, August and September will also be given to the employees by adding them.

How much will the salary increase?

Let us tell you that the dearness allowance of the employees is decided on the basis of their basic salary. Suppose if the basic salary of an employee is Rs 40 thousand and his DA is increased by 3 percent, then his salary will increase by Rs 1,200. In this way, if his salary was Rs 60 thousand earlier by adding basic salary, dearness allowance and housing allowance i.e. HRA, then now it will be Rs 60,1200.

How much arrears money will be given?

As we told you, an employee with a basic salary of Rs 40,000 will start getting an additional dearness allowance of Rs 1,200 every month on a 3% DA hike. Since this hike is being considered effective from July itself, the employee will also be given arrears for the months of July, August and September. In this way, he will also get Rs 3,600 as arrears.

How much salary will come in October

As we told you that the increase in DA will be considered effective from July itself, then including October, there will be a total of 4 months. In this way, in October, the employees will get an increase of about 4800 rupees from the total salary they are getting till now. This calculation has been done on such an employee, whose basic salary is 40 thousand and the salary coming in the account is considered to be 60 thousand rupees. If such employees will get 4 months’ DA in October, then the total salary coming in the account will be Rs 64,800.

The post Diwali Gift: Modi Cabinet Approves 3% DA Hike For Central Employees first appeared on Rightsofemployees.com.

The date has been fixed. The gift will be received before Diwali. There was a discussion going on for a long time that after 50 percent dearness allowance, it will be made zero. After becoming zero, 50 percent DA will be merged in the basic salary. But, since January 2024, dearness allowance (DA Hike) is being given 50 percent. But, it was not made zero. Now dearness allowance is to be announced from July 2024. Its date has come.

The announcement will be made on the 23rd!

The announcement of DA Hike for the employees receiving salary under the 7th Pay Commission can be made in the cabinet meeting on 23rd October. Employees will be given the gift of festive season before Diwali. It will also be paid in October itself. Along with this, 3 months’ arrears will also be given to the employees. This arrears will be the difference between the old and new dearness allowance.

So will it be zero now or not?

The dearness allowance of the employees will not be zero. The calculation of dearness allowance (DA Hike calculation) will continue. Actually, there is no rule regarding this. Last time this was done when the base year was changed. Now there is no need to change the base year. Therefore, dearness allowance for central employees will increase at the rate of 50 percent.

This time dearness allowance will increase less

The numbers of the AICPI-IW index released between January and June 2024 have decided how much dearness allowance the employees will get from July 2024. Now it is the turn to announce it. The date has been fixed. You will get the gift before Diwali. In January, the index number was at 138.9 points, due to which the dearness allowance increased to 50.84 percent.

After this, the index was at 139.2 points in February, 138.9 points in March, 139.4 points in April and 139.9 points in May. On this pattern, the dearness allowance reached 51.44 percent, 51.95 percent, 52.43 percent in April and 52.91 percent by May. The June numbers finalized how much dearness allowance will increase. With the index at 141.4 points in June, the score of dearness allowance has gone up to 53.36 percent.

How much can dearness allowance increase?

There can be an increase of only 3 percent in dearness allowance (DA). If this happens, the dearness allowance of the employees will become 53 percent. There is no possibility of it becoming zero. According to the current trend, even after the June numbers come, it will reach 53.29 percent only. Meaning it will be increased from 50 to 53 percent. Dearness allowance is calculated from the AICPI index. The inflation data collected from different sectors in the index shows how much the allowance of the employees should increase in comparison to inflation. 

Will be implemented from 1 July 2024

The announcement of dearness allowance for central employees is made on 23 October. But, it will be implemented only from July 2024. The payment for the intervening months will be made as arrears. Under the 7th Pay Commission, the AICPI numbers from January to June determine the dearness allowance for central employees. Dearness allowance has reached 53.36 percent. In such a situation, an increase of 3 percent is certain this time. The total dearness allowance will become 53 percent.

The post DA Hike: Dearness Allowance of central employees will be announced on this day- Check details first appeared on Rightsofemployees.com.

This decision will be finalized in the upcoming cabinet meeting, and it can be announced around Diwali, i.e. around 31 October 2024. The increase in dearness allowance will provide relief not only to government employees but also to pensioners.

How is DA hike calculated?

Dearness Allowance is calculated on the basis of All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI). This index monitors retail price movements and is revised twice a year. The purpose of increasing DA on the basis of this index is to protect government employees from the effects of inflation. In view of the continuous increase in retail prices and the difficulties faced by common people in making a living, this announcement is considered very important.

Current DA rate and possible hike

Currently, central government employees are getting 50% dearness allowance. If the government implements this scheme, the new rate of DA can increase to 53% from July 1, 2024. This will mean that government employees will get more salary than before. Also, the arrears of the months of July, August and September will also be given to the employees, due to which they are likely to get a large lump sum amount.

More than one crore employees will get benefit

More than 1 crore central government employees and pensioners will benefit from the 3% increase in dearness allowance. This step is being taken at a time when inflation and price rise are increasing the pressure on the livelihood of common citizens. The increase in DA will provide some relief to the employees and they will be in a better position financially during the festive season.

When was the last time DA was increased

Last year also, the central government had announced a hike in DA before the festive season, which benefited employees and pensioners before Diwali. At that time also, the government had taken this step keeping in mind inflation. There is a possibility of increase in DA by the government every year before Diwali so that employees can get better financial support during festivals.

State governments are also giving relief to the employees

Before this scheme of the central government, the Himachal Pradesh government had also announced a 4% DA hike for its employees and pensioners. This announcement was made just before Dussehra, which is benefiting about 1.80 lakh employees and 1.70 lakh pensioners of Himachal Pradesh. Such announcements for employees are made by the state governments keeping in mind the financial health of the state and the general public.

Impact of increasing DA on employees

The increase in DA improves the purchasing power of the employees. With the increasing level of inflation, the needs of the common man are also increasing. In such a situation, this increase will act as a relief for the employees. Along with this, by getting the outstanding amount, they will get additional money during the festivals, so that they can celebrate the festival in a better way.

The announcement of DA hike is decided on the basis of Consumer Price Index (AICPI), which measures changes in retail prices in different sectors.

After this, a decision on the increase in DA will be taken in the cabinet meetings to be held in September. The government will announce a 3% DA increase. The dearness allowance of employees will increase from 50% to 53%.

Pensioners and employees get benefits

About 52 lakh central employees and 60 lakh pensioners will benefit from this. The benefit of increased dearness allowance will be available from July 1, 2024. Dearness allowance is increased twice a year.

How much can dearness allowance increase?

According to experts, dearness allowance (DA) can increase by only 3 percent. If this happens, the dearness allowance of employees will become 53 percent. There is no possibility of it becoming zero. The DA score determined by the AICPI Index is currently at 52.91 percent. According to the current trend, even after the June numbers come, it will reach only 53.29 percent. Meaning it can be increased from 50 to 53 percent. Dearness allowance is calculated from the AICPI index. The inflation data collected from different sectors in the index shows how much the allowance of employees should increase in comparison to inflation.

How much will be the benefit after DA increase?

For this, fill your salary in the formula given below..(Basic Pay + Grade Pay) × DA % = DA Amount

In simple terms, the salary that is formed after adding grade salary to basic salary is multiplied by the rate of dearness allowance. The result is called dearness allowance or dearness allowance (DA). Now let’s understand this with an example, suppose your basic salary is Rs 18000 and grade pay is Rs 1800.

Adding both of them, the total is Rs 19800. Now if we look at the 53% increase in dearness allowance, it is Rs 10,494. Adding all of them, your total salary is Rs 30294. At the same time, in terms of 50% DA, you are getting a salary of Rs 29700. That means after the 3% increase in DA, there will be a benefit of Rs 594 every month.

Second Example

If the basic salary and grade pay of a central government employee is Rs 45700 per month, then at the rate of 50 percent, he will be getting Rs 22850 as dearness allowance. But, at 53 percent, the dearness allowance will be Rs 24221. In such a situation, this employee will get Rs 1371 more per month (Rs 24221-22850).

What is dearness allowance?

Dearness Allowance is the money given to government employees to maintain their standard of living in lieu of rising inflation. This money is given to government employees, public sector employees and pensioners. It is calculated every 6 months according to the current inflation in the country. It is calculated according to the basic salary of the employees based on the respective pay scale. Dearness Allowance may be different for employees in urban, semi-urban or rural areas.

How is dearness allowance calculated?

A formula has been given for Dearness Allowance assessment. For Central Government employees, this formula is [(Average of All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI) of last 12 months – 115.76)/115.76]×100. Now if we talk about dearness allowance of people working in PSU (Public Sector Units), then the method of its calculation is- Dearness Allowance Percentage= (Average of Consumer Price Index of last 3 months (Base Year 2016=100)-126.33)/126.33)*100

What is All India Consumer Price Index?

There are two types of inflation in India. One is retail and the other is wholesale inflation. Retail inflation rate is based on the prices paid by common customers. It is also called Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Will DA and DR be added to the basic salary?

Speculations began when the issue of merging DA with basic salary after crossing the 50% limit came up. The Fifth Pay Commission report (para 105.11) had recommended merging DA with basic salary and terming such merger as dearness pay. Following this recommendation, 50% of DA was merged with basic salary to form dearness pay for the purpose of calculation of allowances and retirement benefits in 2004. But this was later changed. However, this change will not happen automatically. The government will have to take a decision on this.

Central Government Employees are getting dearness allowance at the rate of 50 percent. The government had increased the dearness allowance from 46 percent to 50 percent in March.

However, this will not happen. Even if DA is 50 percent, it will not be added to the basic salary. Even after the DA increases next time, it will be calculated on the basis of basic salary.

The government had increased dearness allowance by 4% in January. It is expected that the government will increase dearness allowance by 4% in July as well. If this decision is taken, how much will be the benefit? Suppose your basic salary is 50 thousand rupees, then its dearness allowance will increase by 4% i.e. 2000 rupees. This means that in the salary of July, you will get an increase of 2000 rupees in the form of dearness allowance.

How much money will increase with increment?

On an average, 3% increment is done in the salary of government employees every year. If this figure is taken as the basis, then there can be another 3% increment in July. It depends on your basic salary. Suppose your basic salary is 50 thousand rupees, then 1500 rupees will increase as a 3% increment. That means you will also get the benefit of 1,500 rupees as an increment in the salary of July.

How much will the total salary increase?

So an employee with a basic salary of Rs 50,000 will get a dearness allowance of Rs 2000 and an increment of Rs 1500. In this way, the total salary will increase by Rs 3,500.

Expert claims DA will increase by 4%

Experts who calculate inflation claim that 4% DA Hike will be approved for July 2024. Even though the numbers of All India Consumer Price Index- IW are not available. But, the inflation trend is pointing in this direction. Obviously, dearness allowance may increase by up to 4%. The final number of the index will come by July 31, which will confirm the total increase in dearness allowance.

DA Hike: How to know how much it will increase?

Dearness allowance of central employees depends on consumer inflation i.e. All India Consumer Price Index. If this figure increases continuously then dearness allowance also increases in the same order. Consumer inflation figures for the first half of this year have arrived for three months. Looking at this trend, it seems that in the coming days dearness allowance will increase at the rate of 4%. But, the remaining numbers of the index will also have to be seen.

7th Pay Commission: Dearness allowance will be available from this formula

The Ministry of Labor and Employment had changed the calculation formula regarding Dearness Allowance. The Labor Ministry had changed the base year of Dearness Allowance (DA) calculation. A new series of Wage Rate Index (WRI-Wage Rate Index) was released. In this, the Labor Ministry released a new series of WRI with the base year 2016=100.

The post DA Hike: Next time also dearness allowance will increase by 4%? first appeared on Rightsofemployees.com.

7th pay commission latest news: Good news is about to come for central employees. The increase in his Dearness Allowance (DA) in the month of March has changed many calculations. The first dearness allowance will now start from zero and the second dearness allowance (DA hike) has been revised to 50 percent. But, now the question is that what will happen to HRA when the calculation of DA starts from zero? Let us know.

Will dearness allowance be revised?

The dearness allowance of central employees was revised to 50 percent in March. After this there is discussion that in the next revision the dearness allowance will be reduced to zero. But, there is no official information regarding this yet. However, citing the rules it is being said that this can happen. After July, dearness allowance will be reduced to zero. Central employees are also waiting for this. But let us tell you that if this happens, two things will be affected. Dearness allowance will not only be zero but the HRA received by the employees will also be revised once again. Because, the rule of revision will apply here also.

What will be the change in HRA?

Actually, if we understand the DA Hike calculation, then the rate of HRA is 24, 16, 8 percent till it is 0-24 percent. At the same time, as soon as dearness allowance reaches 25 percent, HRA is revised to 27, 18, 9 percent. In case of reaching 50 percent dearness allowance, HRA once again becomes 30, 20, 10 percent. In such a situation, if dearness allowance is reduced to zero, then the maximum limit of HRA will also be revised to 24 percent. Currently HRA is 30% in X cities category, 20% in Y category, 10% in Z cities category.

Why will there be revision?

Actually, when the 7th Pay Commission was implemented in the year 2016, the government had changed the calculation of dearness allowance. After this, the rates of dearness allowance were also revised to zero. After this, HRA was also linked to dearness allowance. In this, a rule was made to do revision twice. First when dearness allowance will be 25 percent and second when it will be 50 percent. Till it reaches 25 percent, the minimum rates of HRA will be 24, 16, 8 percent.

When will dearness allowance become zero?

There is still doubt on whether Dearness Allowance (DA will be zero) will be zero. Actually, there is no such announcement officially. At the same time, there is no such circular from the Labor Bureau either. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether dearness allowance will be changed after 50 percent or not. At the same time, even if it is reduced to zero, it will be reflected in the rates of dearness allowance applicable from July. However, it may take time till September or October for its announcement.

• Children’s Education Allowance (CAA)
• Childcare Special Allowance

• Gratuity Limit
• Dress Allowance

Now will the mathematics of dearness allowance change?

While implementing the 7th Pay Commission in the year 2016, the government had reduced dearness allowance to zero. According to the rules, as soon as the dearness allowance reaches 50 percent, it will be reduced to zero and the money that the employees will be getting as allowance according to 50 percent will be merged into the basic salary i.e. minimum salary.

Will go. Suppose the basic salary of an employee is Rs 18000, then he will get 50 percent DA of Rs 9000. But, once the DA is 50 percent, it will be added to the basic salary and the dearness allowance will again be reduced to zero. This means the basic salary will be revised to Rs 27,000. However, for this the government may have to make changes in the fitment also.

When will dearness allowance become zero?

According to experts, the new dearness allowance will be calculated in July. Because, the government increases dearness allowance only twice a year. Approval for January has been given in March. Now the next revision is to be implemented from July 2024. In such a situation, dearness allowance will be merged only and it will be calculated from zero.

Meaning, the AICPI index from January to June 2024 will decide whether dearness allowance will be 3 percent, 4 percent or more. As soon as this situation is cleared, 50 percent dearness allowance will be added to the basic salary of the employees.

However, it is yet to be approved by the Union Cabinet. Employees will get the benefit of increased DA from April salary. But, it will be implemented from January 1, 2024.

Meanwhile, the next preparations have started. After January, the next increase in dearness allowance will be in July 2024. There may be changes in the calculation of this dearness allowance. Because, after 50 percent dearness allowance, it will be reduced to zero and the calculation of new dearness allowance will start from 0.

What is dearness allowance?

Central and state government employees get Dearness Allowance (DA) to improve their cost of living. Dearness allowance is calculated in proportion to inflation. DA is kept as part of the salary structure as an allowance to the employee to improve his standard of living. Dearness Allowance (DA) is given to central employees and public sector employees and dearness relief to pensioners. The same structure applies in the states also.

DA is calculated from the new series of base year.

The Labor Ministry had also changed the formula for calculating dearness allowance after the implementation of the 7th Pay Commission in the year 2016. The Labor Ministry changed the base year of dearness allowance in 2016 and released a new series of Wage Rate Index (WRI-Wage Rate Index). The Labor Ministry said that the new series of WRI with base year 2016=100 replaced the old series with base year 1963-65.

How is dearness allowance calculated?

The amount of dearness allowance is calculated by multiplying the current rate of dearness allowance of the 7th Pay Commission with the basic pay. The current rate is 46%, if your basic pay is Rs 56,900 DA (56,900 x46)/100. Percentage of dearness allowance = Average of CPI of last 12 months – 115.76. Now whatever comes will be divided by 115.76. The number obtained will be multiplied by 100.

How to calculate how much DA will be given on salary?

For salary calculation under 7th Pay Commission (7th Pay Commission Salary hike), DA will have to be calculated on the basic salary of the employee. Suppose the minimum basic salary of a central employee is Rs 25,000, then his dearness allowance (DA calculation) will be 46% of Rs 25,000. 46% of Rs 25,000 i.e. total will be Rs 11,500. This is an example. Similarly, people with other salary structures can also calculate it according to their basic salary.

Tax is levied on dearness allowance

Dearness allowance is fully taxable. Under the income tax rules in India, separate information about dearness allowance has to be given in the Income Tax Return (ITR). Meaning, the amount you receive in the name of dearness allowance is taxable and tax will have to be paid on it.

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.

HRA = Rs 56,900 x 27/100 = Rs 15,363 per month
With 30% HRA = Rs 56,900 x 30/100 = Rs 17,070 per month

First let’s talk about dearness allowance. AICPI index has reached 139.1. In such a situation, a 4 percent increase in the Dearness Allowance (DA Hike) of central employees is considered certain. This will bring a big jump in the salaries of the employees. More than 1 crore employees and pensioners will directly benefit from this.

The Modi government at the Center can once again increase the dearness allowance (DA Hike) of central employees by 4% for the new year i.e. January 2024. However, this increase will happen in March. AICPI figures till November 2023 have arrived, which are pointing towards an increase of 4 percent. If dearness allowance is increased by 4 percent then it will reach 50% (Dearness Allowance).

Central employees will get double good news

Now let’s talk about the second good news. Central employees can also get the gift of fitment factor. This has been in demand for a long time. Now there are talks of it increasing this year. If this happens, there will be a big jump in salary. Due to increase in fitment factor under the 7th Pay Commission, the basic salary of central employees will increase by Rs 8,860.

This increase can be given after DA Hike. At present, the fitment factor is 2.57 times. It is likely to increase to 3.68 times in the coming days. If this happens then the basic salary at Level-3 will increase from Rs 18000 to Rs 26000. There will be a direct increase of Rs 8000 in the salary of the employees. Besides, this will also impact the payment of DA.

X Class & TPTA – Basic salary Rs 18000 per month

Basic Pay: Rs 18,000
Dearness Allowance (46%): Rs 8,280
House Rent Allowance (27%): Rs 5,400
Transport Allowance: Rs 1,350
DA on Transport Allowance: Rs 621
Gross Salary: Rs 33,651

Salary will increase by Rs 49,420 due to Fitment Factor

If the basic salary of a central employee at Level-3 is Rs 18,000, then excluding allowances his salary will be Rs 18,000 X 2.57 = Rs 46,260. If the fitment factor is increased to 3.68 times then the salary will reach 26000X3.68= Rs 95,680. Employees will get bumper benefits in this. This means that overall the employees will get an increase of Rs 49,420 as compared to the current salary. This calculation is on minimum basic salary. Those with maximum salary can get bigger benefits.

It means clearly that it is going to increase by 4 percent.

What changed in AICPI Index?

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.

When is dearness allowance reduced to zero?

Whenever a new pay scale is implemented, the DA received by the employees is added to the basic salary. Experts say that as a rule, 100 percent DA received by employees should be added to the basic salary, but this is not possible. Financial situation comes in the way. However, this was done in the year 2016.

Before that, in the year 2006, when the sixth pay scale came, at that time 187 percent DA was being given in the fifth pay scale till December. The entire DA was merged into the basic pay. Therefore the coefficient of the sixth pay scale was 1.87. Then new pay band and new grade pay were also created. But, it took three years to deliver it.

There will be a need for the Central Government to increase the dearness allowance for the months of January to June 2024 also. But the decision on increase in dearness allowance in the year 2024 can be taken by the Modi government not in the month of March but only at the beginning of the new year.

Will DA be merged with basic pay?

But let us tell you that nothing like this is going to happen.

Because the Seventh Pay Commission has not recommended its merger with basic pay since there is such 50 percent dearness allowance. The Sixth Pay Commission also did not make any such recommendation. The question arises whether the government will constitute the 8th Pay Commission after 50 percent dearness allowance, although the government has been denying it.

Or will a new rule have to be brought regarding increasing the salary. Since till now a new pay commission has been constituted every 10 years, the government may have to consider a new pay commission in 2024, although it has not been officially confirmed yet, but considering the current circumstances, it can be estimated.
