DA Hike: The government can give a big gift to the central employees before Rakshabandhan. It is being estimated that there may be a 3 percent increase in Dearness Allowance for the period July-December 2025. With this, it can now increase from the current 55 percent to 58 percent. Usually the government amends the Dearness Allowance twice a year, which is officially announced later. DA is given to government employees, while DR (Dearness Relief) is given to pensioners.

Usually, the government constitutes a pay commission every 10 years to review and revise the salary of its employees. The 7th Pay Commission is ending on 31 December 2025, which came into effect from 1 January 2016. Now everyone is waiting for the formation of the 8th Pay Commission, which is expected to be implemented from January 1, 2026.
The government increases DA twice a year so that the salary of the employees can also be adjusted according to the rising inflation. In January, DA was increased by 2 percent, which increased from 53 percent to 55 percent. Now after the data of All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (AICPI-IW) in June, it is likely to increase by 3 percent.
On calculation according to the DA formula, there is a possibility of an increase of 58.18 percent in DA. DA is added to the salary after the government's announcement. Usually its announcements are made just before the festive season. In such a situation, this time too the announcement of DA hike can be made in October around Diwali.
