The government increases the DR for pensioners twice a year, in January and July. Will the DR stop increasing?

New Delhi: Talking about the Dearness Relief (DR) to pensioners, which is equivalent to the Dearness Allowance (DA) given to government employees, currently, it is 58%. However, the term of the 7th Pay Commission is ending on December 31, 2025, and the next increase in DR is due in January 2026. This raises the questions: What will happen to the increase in DR for pensioners? Will the DR become zero? Will it stop increasing, or will the government continue to increase it according to the existing rules? Will the DR for pensioners continue to increase even after the end of the 7th Pay Commission?
