Shimla, August 3
The Central and state government employees will get 10 per cent additional dearness allowance with effect from July 1 this year, on the basis of retail price inflation.

The 12 monthly moving averages of consumer price index for industrial workers (CPI-IW), which determined the biannual revision of DA in January and July every year, rose to 167.9 points.

The Central and other state government employees, who are paid DA linked to CPI-IW, would get 45 per cent of basic pay as DA from July 1. — PTI
