Madhya Pradesh Announces 2% DA Hike for Employees, Arrears in Three Instalments

The Madhya Pradesh government is set to increase the dearness allowance paid to its employees and officials by 2%. Following the increase, government servants will be entitled to the revised dearness allowance from January, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said in a post on ‘X’.

Dr. Yadav said the state government has always kept the interests of its officers and employees in mind. He also said that the state government has consistently stood with pensioners and employees in matters concerning their interests.

Government servants will receive arrears for the nine-month period from January to September. The arrears will be paid in three equal monthly instalments, according to the decision announced by the Chief Minister.

The increased dearness allowance will be paid in cash along with the salary for October, which will be payable in November. This means that the revised allowance will be reflected in the payment of the October salary due in November.

The government has also decided to increase dearness relief for pensioners by 2% from July 2026. The announcement covers both the revised dearness allowance for government servants and the increase in dearness relief for pensioners. The decision was taken by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, with the details shared through his post on ‘X’.
