Cabinet to Consider 3-4% Dearness Allowance Rise for Central Employees and Pensioners Ahead of Festive Season
The central cabinet may approve a 3-4% increase in dearness allowance for government staff and retirees to ease the festive season, with a final decision expected in the upcoming meeting.
The Union Cabinet is expected to approve a modest rise in dearness allowance (DA) for central government employees and pensioners, sources say.
The proposed increase of about 3% to 4% aims to provide relief during the upcoming festive season, when household expenses typically surge.
The decision will be taken at the next cabinet meeting, where the finance ministry will present the recommendation and the final order will be issued thereafter.
If approved, the hike will be reflected in the next salary and pension disbursement, benefiting millions of central employees and retirees across the country.
