Based on the AICPI data DA increases time to time.
Expected DA Hike From July 2025
As per the Indian media house, it is expected that 4% increment in Ba is expected from the month of July to December 25.

This move of increment of AICPI data to the level of 144, 4% DA increase is expected for Central Government employees as per the 7th pay commission rule of the increment. By this increment, DA will be approached to 58.85%. presently it is 55% with effect from January 25. If government will a round of it to 59% then it will be 4%. But if you look at the back in the month of December 24, as per the aicpi data the implement of da was 55.99% but government was not considered it as 56%. So you will look at back it will not be a good decision of expecting 4% increment in DA.
