Release of additional installment of Dearness Allowance to Central
Government employees and Dearness Relief to pensioners due from 01.07.2014
The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi,
gave its approval for the release of an additional installment of Dearness
Allowance (DA) to Central Government employees and Dearness Relief
(DR) to pensioners with effect from 01.07.2014. This is an increase of
seven percent over the existing rate of 100 percent of the Basic Pay/Pension,
to compensate for price rise.
The increase is in accordance with the accepted formula, which is based on the
recommendations of the 6th Central Pay Commission. The combined impact
on the exchequer on account of both Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief
would be of the order of approximately Rs. 7691 crore per annum and Rs.5127 crore respectively in the financial year 2014-2015 (i.e. for a period of eight months from
July, 2014 to February, 2015).
