Therefore, there are chances that Central Government employees can expect the salary hike in their minimum pay.
Currently, the minimum pay of the Central employees stands at Rs 18,000 and they were demanding to increase the amount of Rs 8000.
The Union budget will be presented on July 5, 2019, by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

If this would be implemented in the upcoming budget then it would be the biggest increase in the DA since 2016 when 7th Pay Commission was implemented.
