The salary of Cabinet Secretary level officers will increase by Rs 10,000 per month. Means the maximum basic salary is Rs 2.5 lakh per month, they will get the benefit of Rs 1 lakh 20 thousand on an annual basis.
What is Dearness Allowance?
Dearness allowance is such money, which is given to government employees to improve their cost of living. This money is given so that even after the increase in inflation, there is no difference in the standard of living of the employee. This money is given to government employees, public sector employees and pensioners.
Changes every 6 months
Dearness allowance is given to improve the standard of living of the employees. This allowance is given to government employees, pensioners and public sector employees. Dearness allowance is given so that even after the increase in inflation, the employees do not have any problem in living their lives. Usually, Dearness Allowance is revised every 6 months, in January and July.
DA varies
Dearness allowance is given on the basis of salary of the employees. Dearness allowance is different for government employees working in urban, semi-urban and rural areas. Dearness allowance is calculated on the basic salary. A formula has been fixed for the calculation of dearness allowance, which is determined by the consumer price index (CPI).
This formula is used
Dearness Allowance percentage = Average of CPI of last 12 months-115.76. Now whatever comes will be divided by 115.76. The number that comes will be multiplied by 100.
