Diwali of 12 lakh employees of UP was illuminated! Thousands of arrears will come into account along with salary

After increasing the Dearness Allowance (DA) of central employees by 3%, now the Uttar Pradesh government is also preparing to give good news to its employees. A big update has come out regarding the increase in DA of UP government employees. It is reported that the employees will not only get increased DA, but the arrears of July, August and September will also be given together.

Come, let us know in simple language when and how will the employees of UP get this benefit.

Increased money and arrears will come to the account on this day

After this 3% increase in DA, the total dearness allowance of UP employees and pensioners will increase from 55% to 58% of the basic salary. This increase will be considered effective from July 1. This means that along with the October salary, the employees will also get the arrears of the three months of July, August and September.

When this money comes into the account along with the October salary just before the festivals, it will be a kind of festive bonus for lakhs of employees. This decision of the government will directly benefit about 12 lakh employees of the state.

How much will your salary increase?

Let us understand this with an easy example. Suppose, the basic salary of an employee is Rs 30,000 per month, then by increasing DA by 3%, his salary will increase by Rs 900 every month. Similarly, if someone’s basic salary is Rs 40,000, they will get Rs 1,200 more every month.

When arrears of three months are received together, an employee with a basic salary of Rs 30,000 will get an arrear of Rs 2,700 (900×3) and an employee with a basic salary of Rs 40,000 will get an arrear of Rs 3,600 (1200×3). This extra money will be very useful to the employees during the festive season.

Why does DA increase twice a year?

The government changes Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) twice a year, in January and July. This is done so that the impact of rising inflation is less on the pockets of the employees. This increase is decided on the basis of All India Consumer Price Index (CPI-IW), which tells how much the cost of living has increased for the common people.

If sources are to be believed, this could be the last DA increase under the 7th Pay Commission, because it is expected that the 8th Pay Commission may be implemented in the country from January 2026.
