Central Govt Employees Likely To Get DA Hike Soon
The Modi government is likely to announce the DA (Dearness Allowance) Hike for all the Central government employers and pensioners soon. According to the sources, the government is mulling to announce the jump in DA by the end of this month. The DA hike, which will be effective from July 1, 2023, is expected to be 3 per cent, according to media reports. After the increase, the dearness allowance will reach 45 per cent.
How Much Salary Will Increase?
If media reports are to be believed and 3% DSA hike is announced, then the salary of the Central government employees will surely be increased. If one employee’s salary is Rs 50,000 per month and has Rs 15,000 as the basic pay. He or she will now get Rs 6,300, which is 42 per cent of the basic pay. However, after the expected 3 per cent hike, the employee will get Rs 6,750 per month, which is Rs 450 more per month. Hence, if an employee gets Rs 50,000 salary a month with Rs 15,000 as the basic pay, his or her salary will rise by Rs 450 per month.
