Then dearness allowance will increase!
The Dearness Allowance Hike of the employees can be increased in July amid the ever-increasing inflation. It has been decided from the All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI) which came in March that dearness allowance may increase at the rate of 4% in July-August.
What do the figures say?
Significantly, there was a fall in the AICP Index for January and February 2022. Where the AICP index figure was at 125.1 in January, it was at 125 in February, while in March it increased by 1 point to 126. The numbers for April-May and June are yet to come. If this figure goes above 126, then the government can increase the DA by 4%.
How much will the salary increase?
If the government increases DA by 4%, then the DA of central employees will increase from 34% to 38%. Now let us see here how much there will be an increase in the maximum and minimum basic salary.
