  • We are in the last month of the year and now only a few days are left for the new year to come, meanwhile, central employees and pensioners may face a disappointing financial update regarding their dearness allowance (DA).

The Indian government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has announced a significant increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) for central government employees and pensioners. This hike, effective from January 1, 2024, raises the DA from 46% to 50% of the basic salary, providing a substantial boost to the income of approximately 4.9 million employees and 6.8 million pensioners.

This decision not only aims to alleviate the financial burden on employees and pensioners but also reflects the government's commitment to their welfare amidst economic recovery efforts.
