Central government employees’ Dearness Allowance (DA Hike) increases twice a year. Employees currently receive a dearness allowance at a rate of 46 percent. If the government raises DA by 4% starting in January, the dearness allowance will rise from 46% to 50%. If the government makes such a decision, employees’ salaries would be increased by at least Rs 9000.
When it hits 50%, DA will be zero.
The dearness allowance regulation states that after the government enacted the 7th Pay Commission in 2016, the dearness allowance was decreased to zero. According to the guidelines, once the dearness allowance reaches 50%, it is decreased to zero, and the amount of allowance paid to employees at 50% is added to their base wage.
If an employee’s basic income is Rs 18000, he will receive Rs 9000 in DA. However, when DA reaches 50%, it will be added to the base wage, and the dearness allowance will return to zero.
