Ranchi: In a recent development, the Jharkhand state government has approved a 4% increase in dearness allowance for its employees, effective from July 1, 2023. The enhancement is applicable to all employees covered under the seventh pay revision, initiated from January 1, 2016. The Finance Department has issued a resolution formalizing this decision.
The decision to raise the dearness allowance from 42% to 46% was initially taken by the Jharkhand government on November 3, aligning with the decision made by the Central Government. This increase is expected to provide financial relief to state government employees.
