Dearness Allowance Hike from July, 2023

According to media reports, the Modi administration plans to give a major pre-Navratri gift to central employees and pensioners on October 4, 2023. An approval for boosting the dearness allowance of government employees and retirees is expected during a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Increase in dearness allowance is likely to be approved.

The Union Cabinet and the Economic Affairs Committee of the Cabinet will meet at 10:30 a.m. on October 4, 2023. During this meeting, the Modi government is expected to enhance the dearness allowance for central employees and pensioners. This judgement is critical because the Election Commission can announce assembly election dates in all five states at any time. The enforcement of the code of conduct will occur immediately after the release of election dates, making it difficult for the administration to make this decision.

The central government may increase the dearness allowance from 42% to 46% beginning July 1. The dearness allowance rise is expected to be included in the October wage, and arrears from July to September may also be distributed to central employees together with the October salary.

As a result, the decision to boost the dearness allowance for central govt staffs and pensioners is expected to be made on Wednesday. The Central Government’s move will assist 47 lakh employees and 68 lakh retirees, relieving them of the burden of rising inflation.
