What is the detail
This upcoming revision will be the last under the 7th Pay Commission. The DA revision is based on the All India Consumer Price Index (CPI). The government calculates the 12-month average CPI to decide the pay hike, adjusting the salary according to inflation and cost of living.
7th Pay Commission
Although the government has not made any official announcement yet, financial experts and employee unions are widely expecting a 3% DA hike. The DA hike has a direct impact on the total salary of central government employees. For example, if an employee’s basic salary is Rs 10,000 and DA is 55%, he currently gets Rs 5,500 as DA. If the government increases it to 58%, the amount becomes Rs 5,800.
