On October 16, the dearness allowance (DA) of central employees was increased by 3 percent, taking it from 50 percent to 53 percent.

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav said that this issue will be discussed, but no decision has been taken yet. This suggestion was also considered during the fifth and sixth pay commission. In the year 2004, 50 percent DA was merged into the basic salary, but later the rules were changed.
The effect will be seen on the salary-
Central government employees are currently getting 53 percent dearness allowance.
If it is included in the basic salary, there will be permanent changes in the salary structure, which will also affect the allowances and benefits. The government is considering this merger, but no decision has been taken yet.
