The State Government has revised the rates of dearness allowance from 33.536 per cent of the basic pay to 38.776 per cent of basic pay with effect from July 1, 2019. Further, the government has decided to release the balance DA installments in a time- bound manner.

Accordingly, the government issued orders that the second DA (which was due from January 1, 2019) will be released from July 2021 salary onwards.

The newly sanctioned dearness allowance will be paid in cash with salary of January 2022 onwards.

The arrears on account of payment of DA from the period from July 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 shall be credited to the general provident fund account of the employees in three equal installments from January, 2022 salaries onwards, according to Principal Finance Secretary Shamsher Singh Rawat.
