Lottery will be held for central employees! As soon as DA increases, money will flow into the account

New Delhi. The month of April can bring relief news for millions of central employees and pensioners of the country. People waiting for salary increase amid rising inflation may soon get good news. There is talk that the government may soon take a decision regarding the increase in Dearness Allowance (DA), which will directly increase the income of the employees.

How much can DA increase?

At present, central employees are getting dearness allowance at the rate of 58% on their basic salary. After the proposed increase it could reach 60%. At first glance this increase may seem small, but its impact will be clearly visible on the monthly income of the employees.

reason behind delay

This time, a major reason for the delay in the announcement of DA is the change in the salary system. The tenure of the 7th Pay Commission has ended and now the process of 8th Pay Commission has started. Till the implementation of the new system, the government is determining DA on the basis of the old formula, so that the employees do not have to face any kind of financial uncertainty.

How many people will benefit?

This possible decision will affect more than 1 crore employees and pensioners across the country. This increase is even more important for pensioners, because their main source of income is pension. When the new pay commission is fully implemented, the DA accumulated will be added to the basic salary. After this the calculation of dearness allowance will start again.
