Da hike: Millions of central employees and pensioners have been waiting for a long time to increase dearness allowance. This time the wait for dearness allowance i.e. DA (Dearness Allowance) has become longer. If we look at the records of previous years, the government has increased the DA before Holi. However, this time there was no ascension. The same question was in the minds of most employees as to why this delay is getting. Let me tell you that everything is final for increasing DA but now the official announcement of the government is waiting. It is expected that after the cabinet meeting today, the government can announce to increase DA.
DA will be increased under 7th Pay Commission
According to the 7th Pay Commission, there is revision in DA and DR twice a year. The government increases DA on 1 January and 1 July. The government should announce to increase DA anytime, but it is considered to be applicable from these dates. So far, the government has not announced the DA growing from January 1.
