The new year is going to bring many gifts for the government employees. In January, the Modi government can take three big decisions, which will have a direct impact on crores of employees.
According to media reports, the Modi government has to take three major decisions in the beginning of the year 2023, due to which there will be a bumper increase in the salary of the employees.
The Modi government increases DA-DR (dearness allowance) every six months and this time it has to be changed again in January. It is being speculated that this time there may be an increase of 5 percent in DA. If this happens, then the dearness allowance of the employees will increase to 43 percent, which is now 38 percent.
The Modi government had also increased the dearness allowance by 4 percent in July last. Apart from this, the government has to decide on the fitment factor as well. Along with this, a decision can also be taken to release the arrears of DA of 18 months which were frozen during the Corona period.
The arrears of DA will get big money The Modi government had frozen the DA of the employees from January 2020 to June 2021 i.e. for 18 months during the Corona period. That is, there was no increase in the DA of the employees during this period. However, later the DA was increased by 11 per cent outright, but the arrears of the freeze period were not given to the employees.
If the Modi government decides on this arrear, then it will be a big gift on the new year. Due to this, thousands of rupees will be paid in lump sum to the employees. However, the DA arrears will be decided on the pay band and salary structure of the employees.
What will be the benefit of the fitment factor , according to media reports, the government is no longer in favor of making the 8th Pay Commission. In lieu of this, a new fitment factor can be applied.
At present, according to the fitment factor, the minimum basic salary of central employees is Rs 18,000, which will increase to Rs 26,000. Right now the fitment factor of central employees is 2.57 times, which is being demanded to be increased to 3.68 times. If it is approved then there will be a bumper increase in the salary of the employees.
