7th Pay Commission: As the festive season approaches, more than 1 crore central government employees and pensioners across the country are eyeing the next big announcement of the government. After the relief to the common man on GST, central employees are eagerly waiting for the increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR). It is believed that in view of the latest inflation rate figures and the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, the central government may soon announce increased DA and DR. Let us tell you that this decision of the government will provide financial relief to the employees and pensioners.
What is the detail
In the Union Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in March, a 2 percent increase in dearness allowance and dearness relief for central government employees and pensioners was approved. This increase was implemented under the 7th Pay Commission. The new DA / DR became effective from January 1, 2025, that is, the employees and pensioners were also provided arrears (dues) for this period. After the increase in March, now central employees and pensioners are getting 55% dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR).
How much will the salary increase
At present, the minimum basic salary of central government employees is Rs 18,000, while pensioners get a minimum pension of Rs 9,000. At present, after the implementation of 55% DA / DR rate, the total minimum monthly salary of the employees (basic + DA) has become Rs 27,900 and pensioners are getting (basic pension + DR) Rs 13,950. Another increase in DA / DR is likely to be announced soon. Let us tell you that the central government increases DA / DR twice every year – the first increase comes into effect from January 1 and the second increase from July 1.
How much can be the next increase?
Looking at the past trends, it is almost certain that the central government will announce the next DA / DR increase in September 2025. However, according to some media reports, the government can announce DA at the end of September and the beginning of October. According to reports, this time there is a possibility of an increase of about 3% in DA/DR. If this happens, the current rate will increase from 55% to 58%.
