New Delhi, Business Desk. The Central Government has also announced an increase of 7 percent in Dearness Allowance to the employees getting the 6th Pay Scale (6th Pay Commission). These are the employees who are working in Central Public Enterprises i.e. CPSEs and their pay is made according to the Central Dearness Allowance (CDA Pattern). At the same time, the DA has been increased by 12% for the employees getting the 5th Pay Commission.
According to Under Secretary Samuel Haque, the DA payable to employees is being increased from the existing 189% to 196% with effect from July 1, 2021. These rates are applicable in the case of CDA employees whose pay has been changed as per DPE (Department of Public Enterprises) office memorandum. The payment of Dearness Allowance will be taken in round figure. Departments of Government of India are requested to bring this to the notice of Central Public Sector Enterprises for necessary action at their level.

DA increased by 12 percent
At the same time, the rate of Dearness Allowance has been increased from 356% to 368% in the case of other employees of the Central Government and Central Autonomous Bodies. These are the employees who are drawing their salary in the pre-revised pay scale/grade pay as per the 5th Central Pay Commission.
Benefit for those with 5th pay commission
In the calculation of dearness allowance, expert Harishankar Tiwari said that the benefit of this increase will be given to those employees getting salary under the 5th Pay Commission, who have not taken the benefit of the merger of 50% of DA with basic pay. The DA payable to these CPSEs employees has been increased to 418 per cent from the existing rate of 406%. This increase has also been considered effective from 1 July 2021. According to Harishankar Tiwari, there are many such CPSEs under the central government, where the pay scale is different.
2 to 3 percent increase expected in January
According to Harishankar Tiwari, the employees coming under the 7th Pay Commission can get the gift of 2 to 3 percent DA hike in January 2022. This rate will be fixed only after the latest data of AICPI IW comes out on 31 January 2022.
