Supreme Court and High Court Judges get DA hike, proposal to increase their salary still pending with union cabinet

The dearness allowance of judges of the Supreme Court and the 24 High Courts has been has been revised to 139 per cent even as proposal to give them a salary hike are still pending for approval with union cabinet.  

In a letter to the secretary general of the apex court and registrars general of the high courts last month, the department of justice in the law ministry said that the DA of the judges has been revised to 139 per cent with effect from July 1 "at the same rates (139 per cent) as are admissible to the members of the all-India service".

The judges have been given the DA hike based on the 6th Pay Commission as two bills to provide them the benefits of the Seventh Pay Commission are pending approval of the Union Cabinet.

The bills are likely to come up for Cabinet's consideration in the coming days and would be tabled in Parliament in the Winter Session.

While one bill deals with salary and allowances of the Supreme Court judges, the other deals with the salary of the high court judges. [Inputs PTI]
