Last increase under 7th Pay Commission
This will be the last increase in dearness allowance under the 7th Pay Commission. We are saying this because the recommendations of the 8th Pay Commission will come into effect from January 1, 2026. However, the committee has not been formed yet only for the Eighth Pay Commission. In January this year, the government approved the formation of the Pay Commission.
How much increase is expected in the second half
The All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI-IW) for industrial workers has registered an increase of 0.5 points in the month of April, which has raised hopes of a good increase for the employees. In April 2025, the AICPI-IW index increased to 143.5, which is more than the 143.2 recorded in January 2025. The special thing is that this is the second consecutive month when the index has seen an increase. Earlier there was a decline in January and February 2025. Now if the CPI-IW figures for May and June also increase, then the allowance of central government employees may increase by 3 or 4 percent.
Let us tell you that the Labor Bureau, which comes under the Ministry of Labor and Employment, releases the Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers every month by collecting retail prices from 317 markets spread across 88 major industrial centers of the country.
