Dearness Allowance hiked by 2 per cent for central government employees, pensioners
The
Cabinet on Thursday approved the 2 per cent hike in Dearness Allowance
(DA) for Central Government employees and pensioners, effective from
July 1, 2016. The proposal to hike the DA was granted during the Cabinet
meeting today afternoon at the Prime Minister’s Office.
Dearness
allowance is provided to employees and pensioners to minimise the
impact of price rise on their earnings. Earlier this year, the
government hiked dearness allowance by 6% to 125 % of the basic pay. It
was later merged into the basic pay, based on the recommendation of the
7th Pay Commission Panel.
