The state government employees in Madhya Pradesh were shocked to learn that the government led by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has increased the Dearness Allowance (DA), bringing it to 34 percent.
This comes after the MP government employees' DA was increased by 11% the last time, bringing it to 31%. CM Chouhan announced the DA increase on Twitter.
"At the moment, Madhya Pradesh's government employees receive a 31 percent dearness allowance. We decided today to boost the dearness allowance for Madhya Pradesh government employees by 34%, up from our previous increase of 11% jointly. The state government will execute this choice using the August salaries.
Employees in the MP government will benefit from this increase when they receive their September paychecks.
The decision will help more than 7.5 lakh government employees. According to the chief minister, the decision will cost the state government an additional Rs 625 crore.
More than 7.5 lakh employee brothers and sisters will profit, thus we made this choice for their sake, even though it will add to the government's financial burden by roughly Rs 625 crore. Best wishes!
The huge news for MP government workers comes as those working in the central government excitedly anticipate the upcoming DA raise, which is predicted to be 4 percent. The Centre might make the announcement this week.
