8th Pay Commission: In fact, lakhs of central government employees and pensioners are keeping a close eye on the 8th Pay Commission. Employee unions are asking for higher fitment factor and increase in minimum basic salary. Meanwhile, an update has come regarding dearness allowance.
It is being said that dearness allowance may increase in July. The reason for the expectation of increase in dearness allowance in July is the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (AICPI-IW). DA is calculated on the basis of this index. This index was 149.1 in March this year, which increased to 149.9 in April.
Retail Inflation Increases
Retail inflation for industrial workers also increased, rising from 4.27 to 4.46 percent. The 12-month average, based on AICPI-IW data available through April 2026, is 147.51.
DA may increase by 3%
Using a linking factor of 2.88 to convert the 2016 base series to the 2001 base series, the DA calculation will be approximately 62.51%. Therefore, a 3% increase in DA is expected.
July salaries may be increased
Dearness allowance is increased twice a year. The government increased the dearness allowance for January, and now a DA increase is expected for July. If the increase occurs in July, central government employees may receive the increased dearness allowance along with their July salaries.
