New Delhi: The Central Government has approved a 3% increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) for its employees, raising it from 55% to 58% of Basic Pay, effective July 1, 2025.
As per an Office Memorandum issued by the Ministry of Finance, the revised DA will apply to civilian employees as well as personnel of the Defence and Railway Services. Separate orders will be released by the respective ministries.
