According to media reports, the Central government employees are likely to get a hike in Dearness Allowance next month.

They have been waiting for a hike in their salary for quite some time. Although these are early speculations only. The employees will have to wait for an official announcement on the matter. 

Dearness Allowance (DA) was frozen for more than a year by the government of India due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Since the freeze, three DA revisions have been omitted.

There could be a 4 percent hike in Dearness Allowance in August. Currently, the central government employees are getting a 34 percent DA. After the increase, the DA will be 38 percent.

The Central government is likely to announce the DA hike in its next cabinet meeting scheduled in the first week of August.

It is expected that the cabinet meeting may take place on August 3. The government could announce the DA hike in August third week.

If the new DA hike will be implemented from 1 July 2022, then employees will also get the arrear of the difference in July and August. Although, the government has not commented on any update regarding the credit of arrears to central government employees.
