The West Bengal government has hiked the dearness allowance for state employees - including teachers and pensioners - by 3%. The announcement was made by Finance Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya as the state government presented a ₹3.39-lakh crore budget for 2023-24.
DA is hiked by 3 per cent. It will be implemented from March.
Central government employees might also soon get to hear good news as their DA hike could also be around the corner. Last year, the Centre had announced a 3 per cent DA hike for its employees in January and then a 4 per cent hike effective July 2022. After the second hike, the DA stands at 38 per cent. Dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR) are revised twice a year, effective January 1 and July 1 every year.
