Waiting for government employees increased, there was no talk on DA increase in cabinet meeting

Da hike 2025: Millions of central employees and pensioners of the country were looking towards the government with great expectation. Everyone felt that before Diwali, the government would give them a gift of increasing dearness allowance i.e. DA (Dearness Allowance). Recently there was a meeting of the cabinet, so the hope increased. But the news that came after the meeting was over, many people have been a little disappointed.

What happened in the meeting?

In fact, many major decisions were taken in the cabinet meeting held on Wednesday, but there was no discussion on a decision which millions of employees were eagerly waiting for. No announcement was made about the increase in dearness and dearness relief.

Let us tell you that the government increases DA twice a year to help government employees fight the rising inflation. One increase is applicable from January and from July. The increase in July usually is announced in September or October. For this reason, everyone felt that this good news would be found in this meeting, but this did not happen.

How much is expected to increase?

According to the data, this time employees expect an increase of 3% in DA. If this happens, their total dearness allowance will increase from 55% to 58%. It probably takes a small amount to hear, but this makes a difference of thousand-fifteen hundred rupees every month in the salary of a normal employee. It is also a big relief for millions of elderly living on pension.

Employees’ organizations have also expressed their concern over this delay. He says that the government should announce it as soon as possible, so that people can get some financial relief during the festive season.

Now everyone’s eyes are on the next cabinet meeting. The hope is that the government will soon take a good decision on it keeping in mind the expectations of millions of employees and their families.
