From July 1, 2021, 52 lakh central employees’ Dearness Allowance (DA) and 60 lakh pensioners’ Dearness Relief (DR) will be reinstated. Following that, government employees must wait for their wages to be increased as a result of the 7th Pay Commission.
7th Pay Commission Latest Update: From July 1, 2021, 52 lakh central employees’ Dearness Allowance (DA) and 60 lakh pensioners’ Dearness Relief (DR) will be reinstated. Following that, government employees must wait for their wages to be increased as a result of the 7th Pay Commission. Government personnel, on the other hand, are recommended to compute their basic wage and current dearness allowance using the 7th Pay Commission compensation calculator.
This is how the increased salary will be computed.
While using the 7th Pay Commission Salary Calculator, Shiva Gopal Mishra, Secretary, Staff Side, National Council of JCM, advises central personnel to consult the relevant pay matrix. Central personnel should check their basic income for one month using the pay matrix established by the 7th Pay Commission to see how much their monthly salary will increase following DA reinstatement.
They should notice their current DA, which is currently 17 percent, after reviewing their baseline monthly wage. Following the restoration of DA, it will increase to 28 percent, meaning that beginning July 1, 2021, employees will receive an additional 11 percent in dearness allowance each month. According to Shiva Gopal, this formula will also be utilized to calculate the DR for retirees.
The higher DA will be calculated in this manner.
So, using the 7th Pay Commission compensation formula, let us suppose that a government employee’s monthly basic wage is Rs 20,000. As a result, his monthly DA will rise to 28 percent. A rise of 11 percent in DA from 17 percent to 28 percent is a significant increase. 2200 is eleven of a percent of 20,000. In other words, if you add Rs 2200 to their current DA, this will be their monthly DA starting in July.
The rest of the employees can compute their enhanced DA based on their baseline monthly wage in the same way. This will also reveal how much his income would rise from July 1.
Will there be an increase in TA as well?
Not only will DA be increased, but so will the traveling allowance for central staff, subject to specific criteria. In response to the topic of whether TA will rise in tandem with DA, Shiva Gopal Mishra responds no; TA rises in tandem with DA only when the existing DA is greater than 25%. There will be no rise in TA for central personnel at this time because it is just 17 percent. As a result, the DA you receive in July is more crucial.
