Currently, the dearness allowance for central government employees is 55%.
The final decision on the DA hike depends on the AICPI-IW data of June 2025. This data will be released in August.
If there is a 3 per cent increase, then the DA of central employees will increase to 58%.
If there is a 4% increase, it will rise to 59%.
According to media reports, the 8th Pay Commission is expected to be implemented by 2027.
Central employees can get many more hikes in dearness allowance.
