Central government employees may be in for a happy Dusshera as Narendra Modi-led government is likely to increase dearness allowance (DA) under the 7th Pay Commission recommendations, Zeebiz reported.
The report said, "If implemented, the decision would come as a huge relief for the central government employees demanding an improvement in the salary they are getting as per the 7th pay commission recommendations for a while now."
Government reviews its DA policy every six months and employees are hoping for an increase of five percent.
DA was raised in January this year and was supposed to be implemented in July.
The government is expected to spend around Rs 1.4 lac crore after the implementation of the 7th pay commission, a lot more than Rs 62,123 crore it was spending earlier, the report said.
