7th Pay Commission: This is very important news for more than one crore central employees and pensioners who have been waiting for increase in dearness allowance and dearness relief for a long time.
The wait for increase in DA and DR for these people may be long. Actually, earlier there were reports in the media that the government may announce increase in dearness allowance and dearness relief in September this month.

However, there are full chances of announcement of increase in dearness allowance and dearness relief before Diwali.
At present, there is no update from the government regarding the date of announcement of increase in dearness allowance. But it is certain that whenever the increase is announced, the increased rate will be considered applicable from July 1, 2023 only and they will also get its arrears.
If everything goes well, central employees may get increased salary in the month of November. Along with this, arrears for three months of July, August and September can also be received. However, no formal information has been given by the government regarding this yet.
