Cabinet likely to approve 3-4% Dearness Allowance hike for central government employees and pensioners
The Union Cabinet is expected to consider a 3-4% increase in Dearness Allowance for central government staff and retirees in its upcoming meeting, aiming to ease the festive season.
The Union Cabinet is set to discuss a possible increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) for central government employees and pensioners, with a rise of about 3 to 4 percent being considered.
The move is intended to provide financial relief during the upcoming festive season, when expenses typically rise for households across the country.
If approved, the DA hike would be applied to the current allowance rates for all central government staff and retirees, enhancing their take‑home pay.
The decision is expected to be taken in the next cabinet meeting; officials said the proposal reflects the government's commitment to support its workforce during high‑cost periods.
No further details on the implementation timeline have been released.
