The Rajasthan government will increase the dearness allowance for employees and pensioners from July 1, 2026, to 63%, a 3% rise, and will also grant a one‑time Diwali bonus to about six lakh eligible staff.
The state government of Rajasthan announced a 3% hike in the dearness allowance (DA) for its employees and pensioners, taking the total rate to 63% of the base. The increase is scheduled to take effect from July 1, 2026, and is intended to offset rising living costs.
In addition to the DA revision, the administration approved a one‑time Diwali bonus for roughly six lakh staff members who meet eligibility criteria. The bonus is described as a relief measure to support workers during the festive season.
Both the allowance raise and the bonus are part of the government's broader effort to address inflationary pressures on government‑served households. The decision was communicated through official channels and reported by local media.
