The adjustment of Dearness Allowance (DA) for central government employees is a pivotal aspect influenced by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data tailored for industrial workers. This data, averaging 392.83 over a year, significantly impacts the decision-making process of the central government regarding salary increments. Administered by the Labour Bureau, a segment of the Ministry of Labour, the CPI-IW data is released every month, serving as a crucial metric for gauging economic fluctuations.

Recent reports indicate an anticipated 4 per cent increase in Dearness Allowance slated for March. This projected increment is poised to hike the Dearness Relief (DR) and dearness allowance to over 50 per cent, marking a substantial rise in employee compensation. Notably, the last adjustment transpired in October 2023, witnessing a 4 per cent increment in DA, escalating it to 46 per cent. The forthcoming hike pegged at 4 per cent, aligns with prevailing inflationary trends.

The computation of DA and DR follows a structured formula: 7th CPC DA% = [{12-month average of AICPI-IW (Base Year 2001=100) for the last 12 months – 261.42}/261.42x100]. This formula encapsulates the way of evaluating fluctuations in the cost of living, thus encapsulating a fair adjustment mechanism for central government employees and retirees governed by the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.

In essence, the meticulous assessment of CPI data serves as a cornerstone for determining salary adjustments for central government employees. By adhering to a transparent formulaic approach, the government endeavours to ensure equitable remuneration aligned with prevailing economic conditions. As the anticipation looms for the forthcoming DA increment, employees and retirees await with optimism, poised for a commensurate adjustment reflecting the evolving economic landscape.

The Modi government may consider a pay hike beyond the recommendations of seventh pay commission. The move will translate into good news for around 50 lakh government employees.&nbsp;

According to reports, the government may consider&nbsp;increasing the salary of low-level officials. The increase, if materialises, will be applicable to officials from grade level 1 to 5 and go beyond the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.

This means that low-grade central government employees may get a pay hike under the 7th Pay Commission.&nbsp;

The proposal is likely to be sent to the Cabinet by the start of the next financial year.

According to the previous recommendation under the Seventh Pay Commission, Rs 18,000 was stipulated as the basic salary which was demanded to be raised to Rs 26,000 by the employees.&nbsp;

In 2016, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had promised a pay hike to the central government employees beyond the suggestion of the 7th Pay Commission.

7th Pay Commission: Centre mulls over pay hike for government employees

Government employees working on contract basis in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) staged a protest in Muzaffarabad demanding clearance of their monthly emoluments.

It has been several months that these employees have not received their salaries.

Blaming Islamabad for its discriminatory policies against them, the protestors, who are working in health, education and other government sectors in PoK, have been demanding regular jobs.

&quot;One of our colleagues who had not received the salary for the past 8 months died because of illness. In July 2017, the government assured us to provide regular salaries as it was passed in the assembly. But, we have not received our salaries,&quot; said Syda Sarvar Abbasi, a woman protester.

&quot;In Pakistan&#39;s all four provinces the workers are getting regular salaries, but here, we have not received our pay for the past 8 months,&quot; she added.

Shamim Bibi, another woman protester said, &quot;Whenever we come to protest, they give us 3-4 months&#39; salary. We don&#39;t want salaries. We demand regular jobs. We have been doing all sort of work. In July 2017, the Supreme Court of Pakistan declared that our jobs should be made regular and the Government will give our salaries. Now, we will go to Supreme Court of Pakistan, which will decide our fate&quot;.

Another protestor questioned why were they being punished and for what reason.

Blaming the politicians, the protester said, &quot;They (politicians) have increased their salaries manifold whereas our salaries are very less&quot;.

Tall promises have been made by the Pakistani establishment to bring development in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, but, the corrupt administrative system has made it one of the most backward regions under its rule.

Pakistan occupied Kashmir, has a Prime Minister and a President but is ruled from Islamabad.

The Prime Minister of Pakistan is the chairman and chief executive of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Council that manages all affairs related to PoK.&nbsp;
