Cabinet Approves 2% DA Hike

The Cabinet has taken a significant decision to increase the Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) for central government employees and pensioners. As per the approval, the DA and DR will be hiked by 2% from January this year. This decision is likely to have a positive impact on the lives of millions of central government employees and pensioners across the country. The hike in DA and DR is a regular exercise to compensate for the rising cost of living. The increased amount will be paid to the employees and pensioners in the upcoming months.
