DA Hike Announcement Expected by End of September, Arrears to be Paid in October

by

Central government employees and pensioners are eagerly anticipating the announcement of a significant Dearness Allowance (DA) hike, expected to take effect from July 2024. With the latest AICPI index data indicating a substantial increase, hopes are high for a substantial boost to their earnings.

DA Hike Update

Based on the AICPI index data from January to June 2024, a DA hike of 3% is expected to be implemented from July 2024. This increase will bring the total DA to 53.36%, benefiting both central government employees and pensioners.

AICPI Index

AICPI Index Increase: The AICPI index for June 2024 recorded a significant jump of 1.5 points. The AICPI index has been on an upward trajectory in recent months, indicating rising inflation.

This trend has led to expectations of a substantial DA hike for central government employees. Based on the current AICPI data, a 3% increase in DA for the period July- December 2024 is highly likely.

Arrears Payment

The government is expected to announce the DA hike by the end of September 2024. However, the implementation will be effective from July 2024. This means that employees will receive arrears for the intervening months, including July, August, and September.

Cabinet Announcement

The announcement of the DA hike is expected to be made at the end of September 2024, likely during a cabinet meeting. Once announced, the arrears will be paid along with the October 2024 salary.

No Zero DA

Contrary to rumors, the government has clarified that there will be no reduction in DA to zero. The calculation of DA will continue as per the established formula, ensuring a consistent increase in the allowance.

Central government employees and pensioners are eagerly awaiting the DA hike announcement, which promises to provide a much-needed financial boost.

With the positive indications from the AICPI index, the hike is expected to be substantial, offering relief and improving the overall well-being of government servants.
