The Karnataka Government has revised the rate of Dearness Allowance (DA) payable to state government employees in the 2018 revised pay scales in accordance with the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.
“A Pay Commission is set up by the Government of India and it recommends the changes in the salary structure of central government employees. Millions of government employees are waited for the 7th Pay commission to be implemented as it will increase their allowances, salary, and other benefits. The Current 7th Pay Commission was to be implemented in January 2016. However, it had to be delayed.”

The deferred compensation has been increased from 24.50 percent to 27.25 percent of the base salary.This would take effect on January 1, 2022, and would last for three years. Payment of DA arrears will not be made prior to the date of disbursement of salary for the month of March 2022, according to a government order issued in December 2018.
In addition, the DA will be shown as a separate element of remuneration and will not be treated as pay for any purposes whatsoever. The Dearness Allowance for Central Government employees covered by the 7th Pay Commission was increased by 3 percent last week by the government at the national level.
