DA Hike July 2025: How much will be the dearness allowance in July 2025, big update for employees

News - (DA Hike). Dearness Allowance is increased on the basis of CPI-IW data. The government revises dearness allowance (da hike july 2025) once in March and second in October/November.

Now after the 2 percent increase in dearness allowance in March, the employees were unhappy and due to this the government employees and pensioners are expecting a bigger increase in the next six months. Let us know through the news whether these expectations of the government employees will be fulfilled.

Consumer price index increased in March

Now the data of March 2025 has raised the expectations of employees regarding the increase in DA (Dearness Allowance). In March, CPI-IW (Consumer Price Index) increased by 0.2 points and reached 143.0. However, this is a bit low.

Still, this is a positive hint because before this, inflation was increasing continuously from November 2024 to February 2025. Earlier, the inflation rate in March was 2.95 percent, which is slightly higher than February, but the good thing is that there was no increase in the prices of food items, which led to a slight increase in CPI-IW.

How is DA increased

The DA hike for March is the lowest increase in 78 months. Now after this increase, this allowance has reached 55 percent from January to June 2025.

When DA increases, it depends on the average of 12 months' CPI-IW. Recently, DA was increased by 55 percent in January 2025. Now the eyes of the employees are fixed on the increase of DA in July 2025.

How much will DA increase in July 2025

Currently, DA is running at 55 percent, but based on the figures as of March 2025, DA has reached 57.06 percent. If the CPI-IW figures remain stable or increase in the next three months i.e. April, May, June, then DA can reach 57.86 percent.

If the average is more than 57.50 percent, then DA is likely to be up to 58 percent. On the other hand, if the average is less than 57.50 percent, then DA can remain at 57 percent. If seen, there is a possibility of an increase of 2 percent or 3 percent in DA in July 2025.

The figures of April, May and June are very important

Let us tell you that for the calculation of DA for July, the AICPI-IW figures for the next three months are very important, because the average of these figures will tell how much the DA (Dearness Allowance) can increase in July.

Let us tell you that the June data will come in late July or early August. As soon as the 12-month data of June is received, the government will announce the new DA and DR to be implemented from July 2025.

Although there has been a slight increase in the CPI-IW for March, this is a positive hint because before this a continuous decline in inflation was recorded.

Let us tell you that if the inflation figures remain stable or improve slightly in the coming months, then central government employees and pensioners can get an increase in DA from 2 percent to 3 percent in July 2025.
