Expected DA from Jan 2016 – A New Chapter Begins

The last episode of “Expected DA from July 2015” is almost confirmed to hike by 6% and the official announcement is expected in the second week of next month.

‘The government usually announces additional dearness allowance for Central staff twice in a year from January and July, based on the price-fluctuation data of the previous six months.’


Central Government employees are currently being given a Dearness Allowance of 113%. With 6% DA almost conclusively assured from July 2015 onwards, official announcement is expected to be made during the cabinet meeting in the second week of next month. As soon as cabinet gives its nod, DA will be issued at 119% for the six months starting July 2015, up to December 2015.
