The Union Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved a 2 percent increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) for central government employees and Dearness Relief (DR) for pensioners, effective from January 1, 2025. The revision raises the existing DA and DR rate from 53 percent to 55 percent of basic pay or pension, aimed at off setting inflation.

The increase follows the prescribed formula under the 7th Central Pay Commission’s recommendations.
