DA Hike Update: Central Government Employees Expect 3% Hike Before Durga Puja

How Much Can It Increase

A 3 percent hike will give a Level-7 employee, with a basic pay of Rs 44,900, a monthly boost of Rs 1,347. Their three-month arrears from July to September will total Rs 4,041. A Level-1 employee, earning a basic pay of Rs 18,000, will see a Rs 540 monthly increase and get Rs 1,620 in arrears. These figures are rough estimates.
