The state government has announced an increase in Dearness Allowance (DA). On the other hand, central government employees are still waiting for the DA hike for the second half.
Double Benefit by Rajasthan Government
Rajasthan government has announced a 16 percent increase in DA. Not only this, DA has also been increased by 9 percent for pensioners. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma himself gave this information on the social media account ‘X’.
He said, “The state government dedicated to good governance has decided to increase DA by 16 percent and 9 percent respectively for state employees and pensioners under the fifth and sixth pay commission.
After this decision, DA has increased from 427 percent to 443 percent in the fifth pay commission and from 230 percent to 239 percent in the sixth pay commission.”
Central Employees Still Waiting
On the other hand, central employees are waiting for the DA increase for the second half as per the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission.
Since the formation of the central government, all kinds of assessments have been done regarding allowances.
Let us tell you that in March, the central government approved the release of an additional installment of DA for employees and Dearness Relief (DR) for pensioners.
Under this, the rate of 46% of basic salary was increased by 4 percent. After this increase, the allowance of employees increased to 50 percent.
This benefited 49.18 lakh employees of the central government and 67.95 lakh pensioners. Now once again an increase of 4 percent is expected, so the allowance will become 54 percent.
