With this piece of good news, the Holi in 2025 could turn out to be extra special for central government employees and pensioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Govt<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Government Employees Might Get DA Hike Before The Holi <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per the rumours, this good news is about to drop before the festival as Holi falls on March 14 this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are talks that the government might announce a hike in the dearness allowance<\/a> (DA) for central employees before the Holi celebrations commence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this increase in DA, the government is aiming at easing the burden of inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could also lead to a noticeable boost in both salaries and pensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the unawares, the dearness allowance gets adjusted twice a year\u2014once on January 1 and again on July 1, under the 7th Pay Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we follow this schedue, the first adjustment for 2025 will kick in on January 1, so we are expecting to hear the official announcement in March. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, so far, there is no news from the government as they haven\u2019t confirmed anything yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much DA Hike Is Expected This Time?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to employee groups, the government might announce a 3 to 4 percent increase in dearness allowance for central employees and pensioners around Holi in March 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This holds a great significance for employees for instance, an entry-level central government employee has a basic salary of about Rs 18,000 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now their salary could rise by Rs 540-720 starting January 1, 2025 with this Implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider another case, where a government employee earns Rs 30,000 a month, with a basic salary of Rs 18,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his salary, he is receiving Rs 9,000 as dearness allowance, which is 50 percent of their basic pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in case the DA goes up by 3 percent then they would get Rs 9,540 instead of Rs 9,000, meaning an increase of Rs 540.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a 4 percent hike, the DA would rise to Rs 9,720.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note here that this rise in DA not only affects the government workers but also applicable to the pensioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 So, you can say that over 1 crore central employees and pensioners are waiting for this good news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Its slightly different in case pensioners as  while employees get Dearness Allowance (DA), pensioners receive something called Dearness Relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
