Before Diwali, the Modi government at the Center can increase the DA of employees and pensioners. Although earlier news was coming that the proposal for DA increase could be placed in the cabinet chaired by PM Narendra Modi on Wednesday, October 11, but it did not happen. But now there is a possibility that Modi government may increase DA by 4% before Navratri to Dussehra, after which DA will increase to 46%, although official confirmation is yet to be done.
Actually, dearness allowance of central employees and pensioners is increased twice a year, which depends on the half yearly data of AICPI Index. According to the data received so far, it is considered almost certain that there will be an increase of 4% in the DA of the employees. The new rates will be applicable from July, hence three months’ arrears will also be paid to the employees and pensioners. This will benefit 47.58 lakh employees and about 69.76 lakh pensioners. There is a possibility that by approving the DA proposal in the last week of October, the employees can be given the benefit of 46% DA, arrears and allowances along with the October salary, which will be given in November.

New DA rates should be announced soon
According to media reports, the Confederation of Central Government Employees and Workers had also written a letter to the Union Finance Minister this week, demanding an early announcement of the increased rate of DA. C. Sreekumar, General Secretary of All India Defense Employees Federation (AIDEF) and senior member of the National Council (JCM) staff side, said that the government should not delay. When there is a rule to increase DA from 1st January and 1st July, then why is there a delay of several months in it. Both say that if there is a delay of three to four months in giving this amount, then the government saves thousands of crores of rupees. Invest the money elsewhere.
