7th Pay Commission: There is good news for government employees. The government has given tremendous gifts to the employees. The government has made a bumper increase of 11% in dearness allowance, which will be available from April 2022. Actually, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has given this big gift to the government employees of Madhya Pradesh. There is an atmosphere of happiness due to increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) among more than 7 lakh government employees of the state.
31 percent DA
In fact, CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced this and said that the dearness allowance of government employees which we could not increase during the Corona period, will now be increased. CM said that DA will increase by 31 percent, which will be implemented from the month of April itself. That is, from the month of April, the employees will start getting the benefit of the increased dearness allowance. After this announcement, the state government employees will also get the same DA as the central employees.
11 percent increase
In Madhya Pradesh, in October, the dearness allowance of the employees was increased by 8 percent, due to which the dearness allowance of the employees increased to 20 percent. Whereas now CM Shivraj has directly increased by 11 percent, due to which the dearness allowance of the employees has now increased to 31 percent.
Actually, the employees of Madhya Pradesh are demanding restoration of old pension. In such a situation, this announcement of Shivraj government is being considered as a masterstroke to cultivate these employees. Like the Rajasthan government, the demand for restoration of the old pension scheme has started in Madhya Pradesh too. Meanwhile, the Shivraj government has announced to increase the dearness allowance of the employees.
Increase in DA of central employees also fixed
3% increase in dearness allowance of central employees has been fixed. That is, now employees and pensioners will get Dearness Allowance (DA Hike) at the rate of 34%. There has been a decrease of one point in the December 2021 index of the Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (AICPI Index). Let us tell you that the average of 12 months index for dearness allowance is 351.33 with an average of 34.04% (Dearness allowance). But, dearness allowance is always given in whole numbers. That is, from January 2022, the total dearness allowance is set to be 34%.
