This decision is no less than a boon for lakhs of government employees and pensioners who were troubled by the rising inflation. This additional allowance given with the monthly salary will now be of great help in their household expenses. The government has taken this step keeping in mind the financial condition of the employees. Everything from food items to children’s education has become expensive. In such a situation, this increase will bring a new energy and relief in the lives of the employees.
Big decision of Uttarakhand Chief Minister
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has made this historic decision, accepting the demands of the state’s employees. Employee organizations had been demanding an increase in dearness allowance for a long time. The government finally agreed to this demand and announced a 6 percent DA increase for employees. This decision will benefit employees in the fifth, sixth, and seventh pay scales at different rates. Employees under the fifth pay scale will now receive a dearness allowance at a rate of 466 percent, compared to 455 percent previously. Meanwhile, for employees in the sixth pay scale, the rate has been increased from 246 percent to 252 percent. This increase has been implemented from January 1, 2025. This decision proves that the government considers its employees not just a working part of the workforce but a part of its family. When employees are financially empowered, their morale also increases, enabling them to perform their duties more honestly.
Employees will get financial relief
This increase in dearness allowance will bring a significant change in the lives of employees. They will now find it easier to meet their monthly expenses. Purchasing essential items, paying electricity and water bills, and funding children’s education will become a little easier. This decision is beneficial not only for employees but also for pensioners. For those who have served in government for years and are now living on pensions, this additional allowance will help balance their expenses. Furthermore, this government move will boost employee morale in the future. They will feel that the government understands their problems and is working in their best interests.
