There is a possibility that before the upcoming elections, anytime between Rakshabandhan to Diwali, the central government may announce an increase in dearness allowance. Although the official announcement has not been made yet.
How much salary will increase
If the basic salary of an employee is Rs 18000, then 42% DA will be imposed on it, which means that dearness allowance will be Rs 7560.

That is, there will be an increase of more than 8 thousand rupees annually.
