9 percent increase
Under the Sixth Pay Commission, the dearness allowance has been increased by 9 percent by the government. After this change, dearness allowance has increased from 203 percent to 212 percent. The new rates of DA will be effective from July 1, 2022. Three months arrears will be given to the employees along with the October salary.
DA raised to 396 percent
Apart from this, the DA of central employees has been increased by 15 percent under the Fifth Pay Commission.

The increase in dearness allowance for these employees will also be applicable from July 1.
Let us tell you that dearness allowance is calculated on the basis of basic salary of the employee. If the basic salary of an employee is Rs 43000 per month, then he would be getting Rs 87,290 as per the old DA (203%). But after the DA is 212 percent, now it will increase to Rs 91,160. The salary will increase by about Rs 3800 on a monthly basis.
