Cabinet approved merging of 50% DA with Basic Pay

Different unions of central government employees have been demanding for a long time that besides increasing the DA to 100%, the central govt. should merge the DA with the basic pay due to the inflation and

hike of price of essential commodities. Now as merger of 50% DA with basic, it will result to hike in salary by 30-35%. Earlier 50% DA had been merged with basic in 5th Pay Commission, but same thing was not considered in 6th CPC.


Now 10% DA was announced earlier which was effective from 01.07.2013 and it can be expected that next DA will not be below 10% that causes hike of DA from 90% to 100%. The official notice will be available soon. Stay tuned!
