how much will the salary increase

If you look at the minimum basic salary of Rs 18,000, then the total increase in annual dearness allowance at the rate of 39 percent will be Rs 7020. That means, against the current dearness allowance, Rs 900 will increase every month. In total, central employees with a basic salary of Rs 18000 will be paid dearness allowance of Rs 84,240 annually.

At the same time, if we look at the maximum basic salary of Rs 56900, then the total increase in the annual dearness allowance will be Rs 22191. This means that against the current dearness allowance, Rs 1233 will increase every month.

Revision of DA happens twice in a year

In fact, under the Seventh Pay Commission, there is revision twice in dearness allowance and dearness relief of central employees. The first is given in the month of January and the second in July. On March 30, the government had increased the DA and DR by 3 per cent. After which it increased from 31 to 34 percent.

Government employees get DA for better living  

Dearness Allowance is given to improve the living conditions of government employees. It is given to government employees, public sector employees and pensioners. The reason for giving it is that the standard of living of the employees should be maintained even in the rising inflation.
