Cabinet approved the proposal to raise the DA for central government employees and pensioners to 38% an increase of 4% DA from July 1, 2022

The 4% increase in Dearness Allowance benefits approximately 47.68 lakh central government employees and 68.62 lakh pensioners.

The proposal to release an additional installment of DA to compensate for the increase in price was approved at the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) meeting led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Since the latest dearness announcement hike’s effective date is July 1, the staff would be paid the arrears with their latest salaries, in a festive cheer for approximately 47.68 lakh central government employees and 68.62 lakh pensioners, and is also applicable for civilian employees and those employed in defence services.

The additional financial impacts of this Dearness Allowance increase for Central Government employees are expected to be 6,591.36 crore each year, and 4,394.24 crore in the fiscal year 2022-23 – from 20th July 2022 to 20th February 2023.

The additional financial implications of this increase in Dearness Relief to seniors are expected to be Rs.6,261.20 crore per annum, and Rs.4,174.12 crore in the fiscal year 2022-23 – from July, 2022 to February, 2023.

The aggregate impact on the exchequer from Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief would be 12,852.56 crore each year, and 8,568.36 crore in the fiscal year 2022-23, that is, from July 20, 2022 to February 20, 2023.

Every year, the central government revises the dearness allowance and dearness relief, however the decision is normally made in March and September.

Previously, in March, the Cabinet approved a plan to raise the dearness allowance (DA) for central government employees and dearness relief (DR) for retirees by 3% to 34% of basic salary, up from 31% previously, beginning January 1, 2022.

The government was paying employees three months in arrears at the time.

Every year, the central government revises the dearness allowance and dearness relief, however the decision is normally made in March and September.

Any modifications to the dearness allowance are made in accordance with the approved formula, which is based on the 7th Central Pay Commission’s recommendations to compensate for price increases.

From July 1, the grant of dearness relief (DR) to central government pensioners and family pensioners will be available at the same updated rate as it is for employees. Pension disbursing agencies, including nationalised banks, will determine the amount of DR payable to each pensioner on an individual basis.

The revised rates would apply to central government pensions, civilian central government pensioners/family pensioners, armed forces pensioners, civilian pensioners paid out of defence duty, all India service pensioners, railway pensioners/family pensioners, and provisional pensioners.

FINANCE MINISTRY DA ORDER JAN 2014 – WHEN IT WILL COME

No one can deny the fact that DA is a very important allowance as of now. This applies to both state and central government employees. On the 28th of February 2014, 10 % DA increase was approved by the cabinet and then the announcement about the same came out. In the past, mostly, this announcement and the Finance Ministry order have come out in the month of March. Hardly, has this ever changed so far. So the finance ministry order on DA is expected to come soon.
After the order on the 10% DA is received, the corresponding DA value will be paid as arrears for the first two months and then it will paid along with the month’s salary. Similarly, every time when the DA touches 50%, some allowances can increase up to 25%. We have already got the benefits of the 50% DA increase. Now, as it has reached 100%, a formal announcement is expected to come out soon. Everyone can easily calculate the benefits that we’ll get from a 10% increase. However, for your convenience, I have attached a calculator to help you to find out how much you will get as two month’s arrears and the other benefits that you will get due to the DA increase.

New Delhi: Ahead of festival season, Central Government will this month announce a hike in dearness allowance to 90 percent from existing 80 percent, benefiting about 50 lakh central employees and 30 lakh pensioners.

According to official source, dearness allowance hike will be 10 percent and would be effective from July 1, this year.

The sources further said the exact amount of dearness allowance, as a proportion of basic pay, works out to over 90 percent after factoring in the revised all India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) for June.

According to revised data released on August 30, retail inflation for factory workers for June stood at 11.63 percent, higher than provisional estimate of 11.06 percent for the month released on July 31.

Sources said that since the revised estimate for the month of June is available, the Finance Ministry would soon prepare a proposal for the purpose for seeking Union Cabinet nod.

They further said the proposal will be moved this month.

There would be a double digit hike in DA after about three years. It was last in September, 2010, that the government had announced a hike of 10 percent to be given with effect from July 1, 2010.

DA was hiked to 80 percent from 72 percent in April, 2013, effective from January 1, this year.

As per the practice, the government uses CPI-IW data for past 12 month or a year to arrive at a number for the purpose of any DA hike. Thus, the retail inflation for industrial workers between July, 2012 to June 2013 will be used to take a final decision.

Decision in the right time –will avoid more funds to allocate as arrears!

At last, the most eagerly awaited announcement of additional dearness allowance has been declared by the cabinet, due from January 2013 to Central Government employees and Pensioners.

In general the announcement of dearness allowance has been made in the month of March every year. But this year this has been declared in the month of April. Though it was announced after some delay, there is no any loss, as the dearness allowance hike has to be paid with effect from 01-01-2013.

Before this announcement, there was a rumour that 50% dearness allowance will be merged with basic pay or otherwise dearness allowance will not be hiked, but the cabinet committee decision cleared these doubts.

Employees and Pensioners will get one more month arrears from January to April. Government has to allocate more funds as arrear due to delay.

If the decisions concluded in the right time, there will be no chance to allocate more fund for the payment of arrears and also prevent practical problems to accounting staff.

Even the National anomaly committee, after six years it was formed, has not solved all the problems raised due to the implementation of 6th CPC.

After the implementation of 6th CPC in 2008 with effect from 01.01.2006 , arrears had to be paid to Central Government servants. To avoid the additional financial burden, the Central Government decided to pay the arrears’ in two installments in 2008 and 2009. For this, government had to allocate more fund from budget. It can be avoided by early constitution of 7th pay commission.

So, to find the solution to all including disbursing authorities, setting up of 7th Central Pay Commission at early stage to implement in the right time, the same is demanding by the central trade unions and associations.

Every decision in the right time –will avoid more funds to allocate as arrears!

Generally the announcement of DA comes in the month of every year but this year it did not happened as expected. The government employees were eagerly awaiting for the announcement. As everyone knows that it will be from the month of January 2012 onwards. This situation has raised due to the finance minister’s trip to the japan as information’s received from some media. we can expect the decision of the government as soon as the arrives from there. But surely the announcement of DA will come out in day or two. Normally ,the DA arrears will be disbursed for January & February and DA For March is included in the monthly salary but as of now, the situation may change.
