Seventh Pay Commission: These workers' stress levels will rise before to a raise in DA

Seventh Pay Commission: Public servants in the central government are anticipating a rise in Dearness Allowance (DA) for the first half of the fiscal year. Let us inform you that central staff now get a 46 percent allowance, often known as DA.

Latest information on the 7th Pay Commission: Central government workers are anticipating a raise in Dearness Allowance, or DA, for the first half of the year. The Karnataka government may also postpone implementing the 7th Pay Commission across the state. This year, government workers can get a shock in such a scenario.

Why is the issue becoming unsolvable?

A report in the Times of India suggests that a revenue issue may be the cause of this delay. According to officials, the government would prioritize raising money to support the five guarantee programs. The Karnataka State Government Employees Association (KSGA) representatives are worried about this potential delay. The workers' union is hoping that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah would acknowledge the findings of the Pay Commission.

The desire for a pay increase has been around for a while, according to KSGA secretary Sadananda Nelagudri. Additionally, KSGA said that the budget's compensation increase does not need to be disclosed. Siddaramaiah, the chief minister, may make this announcement even sooner.

2018 saw a pay boost.

Let us remind you that in 2018, Siddaramaiah declared a 30% pay raise for staff members and adopted the recommendations of the 5th Pay Commission, all just before he presented the 2018–19 budget in February. Government spending increased by Rs 10,508 crore as a result. Nonetheless, a top Finance Department official warned that the government may run into issues this time. The government would lose almost Rs 12,000 crore with a comparable 30% rise, but a 40% increase is desired. It is anticipated that project would cost Rs 16000 crore.

The Times of India reports that the exchequer would have to pay an estimated Rs 58,000 crore for the five guarantee programs in 2024–2025. According to the current financial budget, the state would bring in an estimated Rs 1.7 lakh crore from taxes.
