The Haryana government has announced a 3% hike in Dearness Allowance for all state employees, effective from July. Arrears for the increase will be paid from the same month.
The Haryana government has announced a 3% increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) for all state employees, a move that will take effect from July 2024. The decision, presented as a Diwali gift to public servants, aims to provide additional financial relief amid rising living costs.
Under the new policy, employees will receive the adjusted DA amount in their regular salary cycle, with arrears for the 3% hike to be paid from the first July salary. The increase applies to all categories of government staff, including clerical, technical, and supervisory roles.
The announcement was made during a government briefing, where officials highlighted the importance of timely remuneration for maintaining employee morale and productivity. The move is expected to boost the purchasing power of state workers during the festive season.
The Haryana government has not yet released a detailed schedule for the arrears payment, but it has confirmed that the adjustment will be reflected in the July payroll. Employees are advised to check their payslips for the updated DA figures.
This development follows a broader trend of state governments across India revising allowances to support public sector workers during the holiday period.
