The math

Let us say the basic pay of a junior-level central government employee is Rs 20,000 per month. Earlier, at the rate of 34%, the central government employee was receiving DA of Rs 6,800 per month. Now after it has been hiked to 38% the same government employee will receive DA of Rs 7,600 a month. Thus, due to the hike in DA, his salary has increased by Rs 800 per month.
