Recommendations of 7th Pay Commission
It is worth noting that on the basis of the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, dearness allowance is increased twice every year on half yearly basis.
Accordingly, the government has increased in January 2022 for the first half of this year. Let us tell you that this time the government had increased the dearness allowance of the employees by 3 percent.
No announcement has been made yet on dearness allowance for the second half i.e. from July to December. But according to the data of AICPI, it is sure to increase.
When will the 8th pay commission come?
Meanwhile, a flurry had also started regarding the eighth pay sum. But the government says that no proposal to set up the 8th Central Pay Commission for central employees is under consideration. That is, the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission will remain applicable.
