On October 1st, the first day of this month, all government employees received a major Diwali gift. The government announced a 3% increase in its DA (Dearness Allowance).
The DA (Dearness Allowance) for all employees has been increased from 55% to 58%. However, this dearness allowance was implemented under the 7th Pay Commission. The question now is: when will the government implement the 8th Pay Commission? And how long will employees have to wait for a salary increase?
When will the 8th Pay Commission be implemented?
The 8th Pay Commission will make important decisions regarding the salaries of government employees. It will also consider increasing the basic salary. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the 8th Pay Commission on January 16, 2025.
The question now is: when will the salary changes or increases made under the 8th Pay Commission be implemented? According to media reports, this could take two or three years. However, no official information has been provided regarding this.
Previously, during the 7th Pay Commission it was formed in 2014. It then released its report in 2015. The salary increase was implemented in 2016. If the same pattern is followed this year, the salary increase will continue until 2027.
