DA Hike News
Our government does not want their central or state employees to suffer because of rising inflation. Hence, the DA is increased by the government from time to time to safeguard the interests of the employees. In this scenario, there are further signs that MP government can raise the dearness allowance of its state-employees. This way, about 7 lakh state employees of Madhya Pradesh will be benefited from the dearness allowance. The earlier increase was done by the central government of the country in conjunction with other state governments. However, there is not even a single step taken by the Madhya Pradesh state government in giving increase in the dearness allowance.
Because of this continuous delay, the employees of the state have demanded that their dearness allowance be made effective immediately. Therefore, it has been reported that very soon, the Madhya Pradesh government is expected to issue some kind of announcement regarding the increase in DA.
MP Government’s Decision Regarding DA Increase
The Madhya Pradesh government may announce any time its decision on DA hike. Let us inform you here that if the dearness allowance announcement happens, its implementation by the MP government may go on from January 2025. The truth is that the final call regarding the DA increase for state employees will only be announced after approval from MP Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav. Now let us tell you that the DA of 50 percent due for the Madhya Pradesh employees and pensioners was revised from January 1, 2024.
To inform you further, as of July 1, 2024, the central employees are receiving dearness allowances at discount rates of 53%. Whereas the Madhya Pradesh government employees are trailing behind their central counterparts in receiving DA.
Another DA increment
Let us tell you that the last time new dearness allowances were declared by the government from January 1 and July 1. So now in such a scenario, it may be said, that the government may declare on January 1 about the increase in the DA. But whatever be the case, there may be delays in announcements once again concerning the increase in DA. Besides, we should also tell you that there are chances of announcing the increase in DA for central government employees as well. In fact, it is speculated that the DA may be raised by 3 percent. If that happens, the DA for MPs will then also become 53 percent. For the central employees, this will increase their allowances up to 56 percent. Hence, whatever decision is made by the government regarding dearness allowance will be binding on all employees.
Instalment Of Arrears Will Also Be Paid
All the preparations by the state government of MP are towards paying DA dues, and all the state employees will also receive their remaining dues. It is important to note that this amount of arrears would not be disbursed in one transaction, but rather in four possible installments.
In such scenarios, the first installment of this part of the dues will probably be put on the list for a release in December; thereafter, the second installment will follow in January, the third in February, and the fourth installment could find its way to the employees in March 2025. Furthermore, it should be noted that treasury officials have also directed the same in terms of payment of dues
