Lucknow. CM Yogi has instructed the Finance Department to give Dearness Allowance-Dearness Relief (DA-DR) to the personnel and pensioners of UP. The proposal related to this has been sought for the approval of the Chief Minister. The orders are expected to be issued in the next day or two.
You can get benefits from the salary of July:
The Chief Minister issued this instruction in a meeting with Team-9. The employees are likely to get the benefit of dearness allowance for January 2020, July 2020 and January 2021 from the salary of July. Like the central government, the dearness allowance of state employees will also increase by 11 percent. The payment of DA-DR will cost the state exchequer an annual burden of about Rs 6,400 crore. According to the information received from the Finance Department, only after the Central Government issued the mandate to give DA-DR to the central employees and pensioners, the Finance Department started work on the file related to it. It is said that the Finance Salary Section has prepared a proposal related to the payment of increased DA-DR and increased it to the departmental higher officers. With the approval of the Chief Minister, the mandate for payment of deferred DA-DR will be issued.
This benefit will be available with arrears
It is said that all the departments have prepared the salary bills of the employees for the month of July, some have presented their bills in the Treasury. The employees of the departments whose bills have reached the Treasury will not be able to get the benefit of the increased DA along with the salary for the month of July. These employees will be able to get this benefit along with arrears in the salary for the month of August. Departments which have not sent salary bills to the Treasury till the order is issued, will be able to prepare revised bills with increased DA. There may be a delay of two-three days in the payment of salary for the month of July to the employees of such departments. However, the rule is that the department must send the salary bill to the Treasury by 26th of every month.
