By how much will DA increase?
Let us tell you that the dearness allowance is calculated on the basis of the Consumer Price Index (CPI-IW) for industrial workers released by the Labor Bureau every month. According to the data released by the Labor Ministry, the CPI-IW for December 2022 was released on January 31, 2023. DA is calculated from the CPI-IW figures taken from industrial centers under the 7th Pay Commission. The increase in dearness allowance is 4.23 per cent.
Extra salary will come into account after Holi
According to the information received from the ministry, employees and pensioners will get the benefit of the increase in DA from January 1. According to media reports, the government can increase the DA of the employees before Holi, which means that from next month the employees can get increased salary.
Salary may increase by Rs 90,000
According to the information received from the 7th Pay Commission, after the increase in DA of the employees, if the salary of an employee is Rs 30,000, then his gross salary may increase by about Rs 10,800.
