The Uttar Pradesh government announced a 63% dearness allowance increase for its employees, with the revised amount to be credited in the November payroll.
The state government issued an order raising the dearness allowance (DA) for all its civil servants and staff to 63% of basic pay, effective from the November salary cycle.
The decision aims to cushion employees against rising living costs and mirrors recent adjustments made at the centre. The higher DA will be reflected automatically in the November paychecks, with no separate disbursement required.
Finance officials said the additional outlay fits within the existing budget and has been welcomed by employee unions. No other allowances were altered in the announcement.
The notification was released through an official press statement, and staff have been advised to verify the revised figures on their salary slips.
