According to information received from sources, the announcement of increase in DA by the Central Government can be made around the time of Haryana Assembly Elections.
After the recently announced Unified Pension Scheme, i.e. UPS, the Central Government can soon announce another good news for all its employees and pensioners this month. According to media reports, the Narendra Modi government at the Center can announce an increase in dearness allowance, i.e. DA, for its employees in September itself. Earlier, there was news that the government would make this announcement in the first week of September, but now the news is that the decision on the increase in DA can be taken in the last week of September or the first week of October.
When can the DA hike be announced…?
In media reports, quoting sources, it has been said that the announcement of the increase in DA by the Central Government can be made around the Haryana Assembly Elections. The only phase of voting in Haryana will be held on October 5, and the election results will be declared on October 8. For the last few years, the announcement of the increase in DA has usually been made a little before Diwali, but this time this announcement can be made a little earlier.
How much percent will DA increase…?
The DA hike announced by the central government will benefit more than one crore employees and pensioners. It is believed that this increase in DA can be up to 4 percent. According to a source, the central government is expected to increase DA by 3 percent, but it can also be 4 percent.
DA was increased by 4 percent in March
The central government had earlier announced a 4 percent increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) in March 2024. Since this announcement, 50 percent DA and DR are being paid to central employees and pensioners. Usually the DA hike to be implemented from July is announced by the central government around Diwali, and the hike to be implemented from January is often announced around Holi in March.
When will DA Arrears be received…?
If the DA hike is announced by the end of September, then employees and pensioners may see an increase in the salary / pension of the month of October. This means that the employees will also be given arrears for 3 months from July to September in October itself.
