The Central Government has brought significant festive cheer to its employees and pensioners by approving an additional instalment of Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) with effect from July 1, 2025.
The latest revision, based on the accepted formula under the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC), increases the rate of DA and DR by 3%, taking the total rate from the existing 55% to 58% of the Basic Pay/Pension. This final major revision under the 7th CPC is a much-needed inflation shield for nearly 1.2 crore employees and pensioners.

The Road Ahead: 8th Pay Commission
This 58% DA/DR is likely the last revision under the current pay panel, as the 7th CPC’s ten-year term nears its end. Employees are now looking forward to the 8th Pay Commission, which is expected to be implemented from January 1, 2026.
Once the 8th Pay Commission recommendations are accepted, the DA, which has now crossed the 50% mark, is likely to be merged with the Basic Pay, resetting the DA rate back to zero and paving the way for a major restructuring of the salary, allowances, and pension framework.
