Central employees and pensioners are going to get good news now, which will be like a big gift. The central government can increase the DA of central employees by 4 percent. A large number of central employees and pensioners will get the benefit of this, which will be like a big gift. This will lead to a strong increase in salary.
However, the Modi government has already given a big shock on the pending DA arrears. Apart from this, the government is also not going to form the 8th Pay Commission, which is being considered as a shock. The Modi government at the center has not officially announced anything, but media reports are claiming to increase DA soon.
Will DA increase before Diwali?
The central government can increase the dearness allowance of central employees and pensioners by a huge amount before Diwali, which will be like a golden offer for everyone. If the government increases DA by 4 percent, then it will become 54 percent. Currently, central employees are getting the benefit of 50 percent DA.
The last time DA was increased by 4 percent in March 2024, which was increased to 50 percent. Earlier, employees used to get the benefit of 46 percent DA. If DA is increased now, then it will be considered as a big gift. There will be a strong increase in the salary of central employees as well.
If the salary of an employee is Rs 40000, then there will be an increase of Rs 1600 per month on the basis of 4 percent DA. According to this, an increase of Rs 19200 will be made annually. The increased salary has been published on the basis of calculation of news running in the media.
Shock on 8th Pay Commission
While central employees will get good news on DA, there is going to be a big shock on the 8th Pay Commission. The central government is not going to constitute the 8th Pay Commission. Earlier there was a discussion that after ten years, now the Modi government will form the 8th Pay Commission, but now this is not going to happen. This is being considered as a big shock.
The government forms a new pay commission every ten years. The last year in 2014, the Seventh Pay Commission was formed. It was implemented on 1 January 2026, which was like a big good news.
