7th Pay Commission DA Hike Today? How Much Holi BONANZA Will Central Govt Employees Get? By News24 Online via Dailyhunt
The central government may surprise its 1.2 crore employees and pensioners this Holi. According to media reports, the central government may give good news to its employees and pensioners today, March 12. Speculation is rife that the government will announce a hike in the dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR) for central government employees and pensioners before the festivities begin.
Moreover, the increase in DA and DR is aimed at providing relief from inflation. Accordingly, the DA/DR is hiked twice a year. The first increase comes into effect from January 1 and the another one is effective from July 1.
Notably, the central government employees and pensioners are paid under the 7th Pay Commission. The Union Cabinet may announce DA/DR hike in today’s meeting as Holi bonanza, and arrears will be paid to cover the period from January to March. Notably, in October last year, the government increased DA/DR by 3% to 53%.
7th Pay Commission: Expected DA/DR Hike
“As per our calculation, the dearness allowance hike will probably be of 2%,” Rupak Sarkar told NDTV Profit. However, several experts predict that the government may announce a 3-4% increase in DA/DR for central employees and pensioners. Currently, central government employees receive Rs 18,000 as minimum basic pay. Meanwhile, central government pensioners get Rs 9,000 as minimum basic pension.
