Finally it is time to rejoice for central staff and pensioners. The cabinet gives nod to the much awaited hike.
The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved a proposal to increase dearness allowance (DA) by 8 percent to 80 percent from existing 72 percent.
The move will benefit about 50 lakh employees and 30 lakh pensioners of the central government.
The hike would be effective from January 1, 2013 and the employees and pensioners would be entitled for arrears.
