Rajasthan Likely to Announce DA Hike Soon, Decision Expected Before Ram Navami

The Central Government has approved a 2% hike in Dearness Allowance (DA) for its employees and pensioners, raising it from 53% to 55%. This move aims to provide relief against inflation, which has been a growing concern for government employees. Over the past year, DA hikes have been slower than expected, causing dissatisfaction among employees.

Rajasthan Government Likely to Follow the Centre's Move

Following the Centre’s decision, the Rajasthan Government is also preparing to increase DA for state employees. According to Patrika, officials are in discussions, and an announcement is likely to be made before Ram Navami. Since Rajasthan generally follows the DA pattern set by the Centre, a 2% hike is expected, which will benefit lakhs of government employees and pensioners.

When Will Rajasthan Announce the DA Hike?

Although the exact date of the announcement is yet to be confirmed, sources suggest that the state government wants to implement the hike before Ram Navami. The move is expected to boost employee morale and provide some relief from inflationary pressure.

What This Means for Rajasthan Employees?

If Rajasthan increases DA by 2%, state employees will receive a higher salary from the next pay cycle. This will also impact pensioners who rely on government allowances. Additionally, the arrears from January 2025 might be included in the salary disbursement, further benefiting the workforce.

With elections ahead and increasing financial pressure on employees, the Rajasthan Government’s decision on DA revision will be crucial. A formal announcement is expected soon, bringing much-needed relief to state employees and pensioners.

Following the Centre’s move, the Rajasthan Government is also considering a similar increase in DA for its state employees. According to Patrika, the state government is actively discussing the hike and may announce the decision before Ram Navami. Since Rajasthan generally follows the DA structure of Central Government employees, it is highly likely that the state will implement the same 2% increase, benefiting lakhs of government employees and pensioners.
