The Uttar Pradesh government has announced a 3% hike in dearness allowance (DA) for its employees.
The increase is part of the routine revision of allowances aimed at mitigating the impact of rising consumer prices. According to the official order, the revised DA will apply to all categories of state government personnel, including regular staff, contract workers and pensioners.
State officials indicated that the revised rates will be reflected in the upcoming salary cycle, providing modest relief to employees facing higher living costs.
