7th Pay Commission: If the DA is hiked by 4%, it will lead to a massive salary hike for the Central government employees and there will be a potential increase in the current DA from 42% to 46%.
Last month, All India Railwaymen Federation General Secretary Shiva Gopal Mishra told PTI that the Federation is demanding a four percentage point hike in dearness allowance.
The Central government employees must note that the dearness allowance is worked out on the basis of the latest Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) brought out by the Labour Bureau every month.
