West Bengal employees stay on 6th Pay Commission due to DA below 50% threshold, delaying 7th Pay Commission implementation.
West Bengal government employees remain under the 6th Pay Commission due to a technical barrier: the state’s dearness allowance (DA) at 18% is far below the 50% threshold needed to activate the 7th Pay Commission.
A recent 3% DA hike from the Union government widened the gap to 40% between state and central employee benefits.
Officials say the state’s use of a different DA calculation method, not the All India Consumer Price Index used by most states and the central government, has contributed to the delay.
Until the DA reaches 50%, the 7th Pay Commission cannot be implemented, leaving employees without recent pay reforms.
