New Delhi: The government can make a big announcement before Holi regarding the central employees. It is reported that in the coming 15 days, the government can make a big announcement on the dearness allowance (DA) of the central employees. The employees are waiting for an increase in their DA. It is being said that in the cabinet meeting to be held on March 1, the government can take a decision on the increase in DA. 

However, no official statement has come out on this yet. If the government announces an increase in DA, then the employees will also get arrears of January-February. Employees organizations are expecting a 4 percent DA/DR Hike. If this happens, their dearness allowance will increase from 38 percent to 42 percent and there will be a bumper increase in the salary of central employees. If the government decides to increase the dearness allowance before Holi, then it will benefit about 48 lakh central employees and 63 lakh pensioners. 

Let us tell you that there has been a rule by the Central Government to increase DA/DR annually from the beginning of January till the end of the month of July. However, there has been a delay in the last few years. Last year, the government increased the DA of central employees by 4 percent. After this increase, the DA of the employees increased from 34 percent to 38 percent. If we look at the salary, then if the basic pay of a central employee is Rs 18,000, then the dearness allowance of Rs 6,840 is made according to 38 percent. On the other hand, if this DA becomes 42 percent, then the DA of the employee will increase to Rs 7,560.
