7th pay commission: The central government can give the gift of increase in dearness allowance to the employees on the New Year. If DA is increased by four percent, then dearness allowance to the employees will be increased to 50 percent.
The Central Government can give the gift of increase in Dearness Allowance to its employees on the occasion of New Year, because the government increases DA twice a year during January and July. According to AICPI data, the government increases the dearness allowance of central employees under the 7th Pay Commission. Due to this, sometimes the DA of employees increases by three percent and sometimes by four percent.
If DA is increased by 4 percent, how much will be the dearness allowance?
Along with the Dearness Allowance of central employees, the government also increases the Dearness Relief of pensioners. This increase in DA and DR directly affects the salary of employees and monthly pension of pensioners. At present, under the 7th Pay Commission, 46 percent DA and DR is being given to employees and pensioners. If the government increases dearness allowance by 4 percent, it will increase from 46 percent to 50 percent.
How much will be the increase in the salaries of employees?
Central government employees and pensioners are expected to get 4 percent increase in dearness allowance and dearness relief. In such a situation, if DA and DR increases to 50 percent, then there will be an increase in the salary of employees and pension of pensioners. After this increase, the minimum salary of employees will increase by Rs 9000. The government can extend this increase after January to February or March also.
DA will become zero after 50 percent.
When the government implemented the 7th Pay Commission in 2016, then dearness allowance was made zero. According to the rules, as soon as dearness allowance reaches 50 percent, it will be reduced to zero. Along with this, DA received on the basis of 50 percent will be added to the basic salary. Accordingly, the basic salary of the employees will also increase. Suppose if someone’s basic salary is Rs 18 thousand then Rs 9000 will be added to it. After this, dearness allowance will be given separately.
Dearness allowance increased for these people.
It is noteworthy that the Central Government had recently increased the dearness allowance under the Sixth Pay Commission and Fifth Pay Commission. This increase is effective from July 1, 2023. Apart from this, many states have also increased the dearness allowance of their employees and pensioners.
