Employees DA Hike: The Central Government revises the rates of dearness allowance and dearness relief of central employees and pensioners twice every year, which is announced around March and October. After the Center, the state governments also increase the dearness allowance, so now the employees and pensioners of UP are waiting for the DA hike.

UP Employees DA Hike: The Central Government increased the dearness allowance of central employees and dearness relief of pensioners by 2%, after which the DA has increased from 53% to 55% from January 2025. After the increase in DA by the Center, now the state governments are preparing to increase DA.

On April 1, the Rajasthan government also increased the DA of 12.50 lakh employees and pensioners. It is expected that the Yogi Adityanath government of UP can also increase the dearness allowance of its employees and pensioners soon. This will benefit 12 lakh employees and 16 lakh pensioners.

Will dearness allowance increase again from January 2025?

• If media reports are to be believed, in the month of April, the Yogi Adityanath government can announce a 2% increase in dearness allowance, the new rates will be applicable from January 1, 2025, in such a situation, 3 months’ arrears will also be available. After the new rates, the DA of the state employees will be 55% like the Center. At present, state employees are getting the benefit of 53% DA.
• A decision can also be taken on the annual increment of more than 2 lakh employees. About 25% of the state employees, who do not get increment in July, will be given an additional 3% increment in January, in this way their salary will increase to about 6%. All the remaining employees will get the benefit of 3% salary hike. However, official confirmation is yet to be done.

This is how dearness allowance is calculated

• The increase in DA and DR is calculated on the basis of the percentage increase in the 12-month average of the All India Consumer Price Index (CPI-IW) for industrial workers. The government usually revises these allowances every year on 1 January and 1 July.
• DA for central government employees is calculated like this- DA% = [(Average of AICPI (Base Year 2001 = 100) for the last 12 months – 115.76)/115.76] x 100
• DA for public sector employees is calculated like this- DA% = [(Average of AICPI (Base Year 2001 = 100) for the last 3 months – 126.33)/126.33] x 100
