7th pay commission

7th pay commission: Today is the first day of Hindu new year of Vikram Samvat 2080. It is considered as the auspicious day in Indian tradition. This day is celebrated across the Country with different names like Gudi Padwa in Maharastra, Ugaadi in Kerala and so on. In a nut shell, this auspicious day is the harbinger of happiness for central government employees. Over 1 crore central employees and pensioners of the country can get the gift of increase in Dearness Allowance (DA Hike) and Dearness Relief (DR Hike) from the Modi government. If this happens then a huge amount is going to come in their account.

According to placed sources, Union cabinet meeting on DA hike is likely to be held on March 24, Friday i.e. on the third day of Navratri. The government will discuss all the aspects of DA hike and may take concrete decision on the increase in dearness allowance. According to the information, this time the dearness allowance of the employees may increase by 4 per cent. If this happens, then the current dearness allowance will increase from 38 to 42 percent. It will be money rain for the employees during Navratri.

There are two revisions in the dearness allowance in a year. Looking at the records of the last few years, the government always announces the DA hike in the month of March. In the years 2019, 2021 and 2022, the DA hike has been approved in the last week of March, so it is believed that this time also the government may increase the DA at the end of March. According to the information, the last cabinet meeting of the month of March is also to be held on the 29th, but by announcing the DA hike in the previous meeting, the government will transfer more salary to the accounts of the employees in the month of March.

Increase will be applicable from January 1, 2023 only!

After the announcement of the increase in DA, the Finance Ministry will issue its notification. After the notification is issued by the Ministry of Finance, the increase in the salary of central employees and the pension of pensioners will be implemented. According to the information, if everything goes well, the salary for March will be paid along with the new dearness allowance. While the arrears of January and February will be received. The increased dearness allowance and relief will be applicable from January 1, 2023 itself.
