Expected DA/DR from Jan 2025 for Central Government Employees


The expected Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) for Central Government employees and pensioners from January 2025 remains uncertain due to a negligible change in the All-India Consumer Price Index (CPI-IW) for August 2024. The CPI-IW decreased by 0.1 points to 142.6.

Although the DA/DR from July 2024 has been confirmed at 53% with a 3% increase, the formal approval from the Cabinet is pending, causing employees to eagerly await the announcement, especially with the festive season approaching. 

The All-India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) for August 2024 dipped slightly by 0.1 points to 142.6. This minimal change has little impact on the expected Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) for Central Government employees and pensioners starting January 2025, which is calculated based on the previous month's CPI-IW Index 

The DA/DR from Jan, 2025 table is as follows:-

The DA/DR from Jul, 2024 has also confirmed to be 53% with 3 percent increase in existing rate.  As per prevailing practice this increase will be approved by Cabinet in this month of September, 2024 and now this time has been lapsed and the employees are eagerly waiting for approval on the occasion of festive season. 

In this regard Confederation of Central Employees and workers has approached to  Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, Finance Minister for immediate intervention for declaration of DA/DR, PLB and Adhoc Bonus . Hopefully, Cabinet will approve the increase in DA and Bonus in next Cabinet Meeting. The Central Govt. Employees and Pensioners are eagerly waiting for Cabinet Approval and issuance of DoE OM in this regard.
