According to the recent Cabinet Meeting decision, State Government employees will receive a 3% increase in Dearness Allowance effective July 1, 2022. Consequently, Maharashtra government employees’ dearness allowance will rise from 31% to 34% of their basic pay. This inflation-related allowance hike is expected to raise the salaries of government employees.
The Maharashtra State Government recently approved a 3% increase in the Dearness Allowance for its employees, effective from January 1, 2022. This move comes after the Central Government implemented a similar hike. As a result, over 16 lakh employees will benefit from the raised DA rate, bringing the total to 31% (28% plus 3%) as of January 1st, 2022.
