Dearness Allowance hiked by 8%: Zee News
New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved a proposal to increase dearness allowance (DA) by 8 percent to 80 percent from existing 72 percent.
The move will benefit about 50 lakh employees and 30 lakh pensioners of the central government.
The hike would be effective from January 1, 2013 and the employees and pensioners would be entitled for arrears.
Decision on hiking DA was deferred on April 2 as the Finance Minister was not present.
The government had hiked DA to 72 percent in September last year, which had come into effect from July 1, 2012.
As per the practice, the DA is merged with basic pay when it breaches the 50 percent cap. This helps employees get higher allowances as those are paid as proportion of the basic pay.

नई दिल्ली।। केंद्र सरकार के कर्मचारियों और पेंशनरों के महंगाई भत्ते (डीए) में 8 प्रतिशत की बढ़ोतरी कर दी गई है। अब इन्हें डीए 72 पर्सेंट के बजाय 80 पर्सेंट मिलेगा। कैबिनेट के फैसले के मुताबिक, यह आदेश 1 जनवरी, 2013 से लागू होगा।
सूचना और प्रसारण मंत्री मनीष तिवारी ने बताया कि डीए में बढ़ोतरी से सरकार पर सालाना 8,629 करोड़ रुपये का बोझ पड़ेगा। इस साल बकाया एरियर देने के कारण वित्तीय भार बढ़कर 10,067 करोड़ रुपये हो जाएगा। सरकार के इस फैसले का फायदा 50 लाख कर्मचारियों और 30 लाख पेंशनरों को होगा।
