7th Pay Commission: Good news is on the way for millions of central government employees in India. An important announcement has been made regarding the increase in Dearness Allowance (DA).
In the upcoming months, the government will raise the DA for employees from 42% to 46%. This means an additional 4% DA will be credited to your account, leading to a significant increase in your salary. The government is set to implement this increase in DA starting from July.
AICPI Data Reveals: 4% Increase in Dearness Allowance for Employees

This information has been confirmed through the release of the AICPI (All India Consumer Price Index) data. The data for this month shows a 0.72% increase, indicating the forthcoming 4% raise in employees’ DA.
Experts’ Predictions Come True

The April AICPI figures were released in May. Compared to March, there has been a rise in the index. March recorded a value of 133.3 points, while April saw a growth of 0.72 points, reaching 134.02 points. This indicates a substantial increase in DA for employees this time.
