DA Hike Update: The central government may announce an increase in dearness allowance on March 5. A cabinet meeting will be held on the coming Wednesday. If we look at the record of previous years, the government has announced an increase in the Dearness Allowance (DA) which increases at the beginning of the year before Holi. In such a situation, there is every possibility that the government may increase DA on March 5. Employees and pensioners will get great news before Holi (Holi 2025). Under the 7th Pay Commission, DA is increased twice a year. The first increase comes into effect from January 1 and the second from July 1. The first increase of 2025 will come into effect from January 1, 2025. The government may make its official announcement anytime, but it is considered to be applicable from January 1, 2025.

How is dearness allowance calculated?
If the salary of an employee is Rs 30,000 and his basic salary is Rs 18,000, then he is currently getting 50% i.e. Rs 9,000 as DA. If there is a 3% increase, then the DA will increase to Rs 9,540, which will increase the salary by Rs 540. At the same time, with a 4% increase, the DA will become Rs 9,720 and the salary will increase by Rs 720.
How much was the increase last year?
In March 2024, the government increased the DA by 4% to 50%. After this, there was a 3% increase in October 2024, which made DA 53%. Now from January 2025, DA is expected to increase again by 3-4%.
