The dearness allowance (DA) is for employees, while for pensioners, it's called relief. Currently, there are various rumors circulating about the 7th Pay Commission.

Now the question is, if state government employees win this case, how much DA will increase. State government employees currently receive dearness allowance at a rate of 18%.

This means state government employees are currently 39% behind the central government. State government employees are more than 25% behind the central government.
