Dearness allowance is increased twice every year in the salary of central employees. Dearness allowance is given according to the consumer price index. Dearness allowance is increased according to the consumer price from January to June, which is implemented from July 1. For the second time, dearness allowance is increased according to the CPI (Consumer Price Index) from July to December, which is implemented from January 1.
The data of CPI from 1 July 2022 to 31 December 2022 has been released, according to which dearness allowance will be increased from 1 January 2023.
According to the CPI data from July to December 2022, the dearness allowance may be increased by 4%. At present the Central Government Employees get 38% Dearness Allowance. According to the data of CPI index, this dearness allowance can be increased by 4% to 42%, which will be applicable to central employees from January 1, 2023. For your information, let us tell you that about 1 crore central employees and pensioners will benefit from the increase in DA, which also includes defense personnel.
Speaking to PTI, Shiv Gopal Mishra, General Secretary of All India Railwaymen's Federation, said that the CPI data for December 2022 has been released by the Labor Bureau, according to which the dearness allowance is estimated to be 4.23% higher. But the government will not increase DA in decimal, so DA can increase by 4% to 42%.
General Secretary Shiv Gopal Mishra said that the Expenditure Department of the Finance Ministry will prepare a proposal for DA, which will be sent to the Union Cabinet for approval. After getting the approval of the Union Cabinet, its notification will be issued by the Central Government.
