Dearness Allowance : Hello friends, an encouraging news has come out for the central government employees as well as pensioners. Yes, you people are going to be very happy to hear this news. Government employees waiting for the formation of the Eighth Pay Commission are likely to get a big relief before this.
From July 2025, the dearness allowance is going to increase by three to four percent. After this, there will be a direct increase in the monthly income of millions of employees of the country. This increase is going to prove to be a relief not only for working employees but also for pensioners.
Dearness Allowance announced
Friends, we want to inform you here that the announcement of changes in dearness allowance is made by the government twice every year. The first announcement is made in the month of January and the second time in the month of July.
This is an important rule that no matter at what time the government announces it, its benefits are available from these two fixed dates. It is estimated that the announcement of dearness allowance which will be effective from July in the year 2025 will be done before the entry of Diwali, which will add to the happiness of the employees during the festival.
Current rates and increase
Central government employees are currently being given 53% dearness allowance of their basic salary. If there is an increase of 3%, it will increase and can go up to 56%. Whereas it is estimated that if there is an increase of 4%, it will reach 57%.
The decision is made based on the data of Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers. This is a scientific and reliable method of measuring the rate of inflation. The data received for May 2025 clearly shows that dearness allowance is going to increase by 3 to 4% in July.
Impact on the income of each employee
The increase in dearness allowance will have a direct and positive impact on the salary of the employees. We can understand through an example that if the basic salary of the employees is Rs. 18000, then at the rate of 30%, they are being given dearness allowance of Rs. 9990.
If there is a 3% increase in this, then this dearness allowance will be Rs 10440. This means that these people will get an additional Rs 540 every month. People whose basic salary is quite high will benefit more.
Estimated time of government announcement
The Consumer Price Index data for June 2025 may come by the last week of July. Based on this, the Union Cabinet is going to take the final and decisive decision on the increase in dearness allowance in the month of September-October. The increased dearness allowance will be given to the employees with payment before July 2025.
Due to this, the benefit of the previous month will also be available. This process is regularly adopted under the government policy and the employees do not face any kind of financial loss.
