In July, the figure reached 129.9. In August, it has increased beyond 130.2. According to experts, it is difficult to guess by looking at the numbers of two months. But, if the index increases by 1 percent in the coming days, then the dearness allowance is expected to increase by 3 percent. If the index stays up to 131.4 points, there will be an increase of 3 percent. However, the correct estimate can be made only when the numbers for the rest of the months come.
Next dearness allowance may increase by 3 percent
The dearness allowance is increased every 6 months by the central government. Depending on the data of the AICPI index, how much will be the increase. The Dearness Allowance for July 2022 has been announced by the government. Now the Dearness Allowance will be announced for January 2023 next year.

Dearness allowance will reach 41 percent
If we look at the current figures, there will be an increase of 3 percent in dearness allowance. If it is assumed that there will be an increase of only 3 percent, then the dearness allowance will increase to 41 percent. With this, there will be a good increase in the salary of central employees. DA expert Harishankar Tiwari believes that it is too early to calculate dearness allowance. But, the rise in the index indicates that there is good news for the employees on the dearness allowance front. If the index increases, then their dearness allowance will definitely increase.
