Central Government Employees News: 7th Pay Commission DA Hike

7th Pay Commission DA Hike: Central government employees received a substantial increase in their dearness allowance (DA) starting from July 1. The DA has risen from 42 percent to 46 percent, marking a significant four percent jump.

Calculation Method for the New Dearness Allowance (DA)

The determination of the Dearness Allowance (DA) for central government employees relies on the All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI). Each month, the AICPI numbers are published, and based on these figures, the DA score is recalculated every six months. In May, the AICPI index saw a significant increase of 0.50 points, rising from 134.02 in April to 134.7. This jump in the AICPI index has contributed to the calculation of the new DA for central government employees.
