Complete math of DA Hike
- If the salary of an employee is Rs 50,000 per month and his basic salary is Rs 25,000.
2. Such an employee would currently be getting DA of Rs 10,500 every month.
3. After the 3 percent hike, the employee’s DA will increase to Rs 11,250.
4. In this way the salary will increase by Rs 750 (Rs 9000 annually) every month.
5. In such a situation, if the salary of an employee is Rs 50000 per month, then he will get a benefit of Rs 9000 annually. Accordingly, pensioners will also benefit.
According to the data released in July 2023, All India CPI has increased by 3.3 points to reach 139.7 points. Regarding DA hike, General Secretary of All India Railwaymen Federation, Shiv Gopal Mishra had said that the federation is demanding 4 percent increase in dearness allowance.
