DA Hike Update: The second half of the year 2025 is going on, which is going to prove to be a big gift for central employees and pensioners. The central government can increase the dearness allowance of central employees by up to 4 per cent. If the government increases this much, then it will prove to be good news.
Last time the central government had increased the DA by 2 per cent, which proved to be a big setback for the employees. But this time there is a possibility of getting a good gift. It is expected that the government will make this announcement before Diwali in October.
However, the central government has not said anything about the date of the DA hike yet. Media reports are claiming before Diwali. How much the salary increase will be, everyone can know the calculation in the article.
How much percentage will DA become?
The central government can increase the DA by up to 4 per cent. After this, the DA will increase to 5 per cent. At present, central employees are getting the benefit of 55 per cent DA. More than one crore employees and pensioners are going to get the benefit of the increased DA. Its rates will be considered applicable from July 1, 2025. Earlier, the rates of the increased dearness allowance were implemented from January 1, 2025. The government has been increasing DA twice a year.
How much will the salary increase?
After the 4 per cent DA increase, there will be a bumper increase in the salary. If the salary of a central employee is Rs 40,000, then an increase of Rs 1600 per month can be seen. If DA is increased by 5 per cent, then there will be an increase of Rs 2,000 in the salary. The increased amount will prove to be like a booster dose in the era of inflation.
When will the 8th Pay Commission be implemented?
All eyes are on the 8th Pay Commission. The question in the minds of central employees and pensioners is When will it be implemented. By the way, no limit has been fixed for implementation yet. The government has not yet been able to form a committee for this.
