DA Hike: If sources are to be believed, DA will increase to 42 percent from January 2023. This will benefit 52 lakh central employees and 60 lakh pensioners. National Council of JCM Secretary Shiv Gopal Mishra says that the Dearness Allowance (DA) received under the 7th Pay Commission is currently 38 percent, which will increase to 42 percent this time. Let’s know about it in detail.
The decision of DA hike is being awaited from the central employees. A decision on this is likely to be taken in the cabinet meeting to be held on March 1.
This time dearness allowance and dearness relief are expected to increase by 4 percent. With this it will increase to 42 percent. Employees will get the benefit of both increased DA and arrears in the March salary.
Dearness allowance will increase by 4 percent
Central employees will get DA for both January and February along with salary. It is clear from the figures of AICPI that this time dearness allowance will increase by 4 percent. If sources are to be believed, from January 2023, DA will increase to 42 per cent.
This will benefit 52 lakh central employees and 60 lakh pensioners. Shiv Gopal Mishra, secretary of the National Council of JCM (JCM), says that the dearness allowance (DA) received under the 7th Pay Commission (7th Pay Commission DA Hike) is currently 38 percent, which will increase to 42 percent this time.
How much will the salary increase?
Under the 7th Pay Commission, the calculation of dearness allowance for employees and dearness relief allowance for pensioners is done on the basis of basic salary. For example, if someone’s basic salary is Rs 25,000, then he will get 42% DA on Rs 25,000. That is, 42 percent DA of 25,000 became DA Rs 10,500. On the basis of this, the DA of other central employees will also increase. You can also calculate it by gathering information about your basic salary.
This is the calculation
Level 1 Basic pay : 18000 rupees
42% DA i.e. Rs 7560 per month
Level 1 Basic pay : 25000 rupees
42% DA i.e. Rs 10500 per month
There will be so much difference in salary
Under the 7th Pay Commission, if your basic pay is Rs 18,000, then you get dearness allowance of Rs 6840 at the rate of 38 percent. But if the dearness allowance is 42 percent, it will increase to Rs 7560. Similarly, if you have a basic salary of Rs 25,000, then at present you will be getting dearness allowance of Rs 9,500. But with DA being 42 percent, it will increase to Rs 10,500.
