7th Pay Commission: Central govt employees likely to get DA hike before Haryana Assembly polls

7th Pay Commission Latest News: The Central government employees who are waiting for an announcement on a hike in dearness allowance (DA), here comes a big update for them. This time, they might have to wait a bit longer for their DA hike announcement. Earlier, reports suggested that the Central government might announce the DA increase in the first week of September, which seems unlikely now, and as per latest reports, the Centre is likely to announce the hike closer to the Haryana assembly election date to gain some political advantage. As per the EC announcement, Haryana will go to polls on October 5.
