On the basis of the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, dearness allowance is increased twice every year on half yearly basis. There has been an increase for the first half of the year 2022. This time it was increased by 3 percent.
There has been no increase in dearness allowance or DA of central employees yet. This information has been given by the government. In fact, a letter from the Department of Expenditure is floating on social media for the past few days. It has been told in this letter that the government has increased the DA of central employees by 4 percent.
According to the letter, now the DA of the employees has become 38 percent. It has been said in the letter that the revised DA of central employees will be effective from July 1. However, now in the PIB fact check, this letter has been told as fake. This letter has been issued on 23 August.

Let us tell you that on the basis of the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, dearness allowance is increased twice every year on half yearly basis. There has been an increase for the first half of the year 2022. This time it was increased by 3 percent. No announcement has been made on dearness allowance for the second half i.e. from July to December.
Eighth Pay Commission will not come: Recently the government had told that no proposal to set up the 8th Central Pay Commission for central employees is under consideration. This means that only the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission will remain applicable.
