The expenditure of the state government will increase by Rs 1,096 crore.
Chief Minister Gehlot tweeted that the central government makes the announcement first but it is implemented after a long time while our government also distributes the increased amount with the announcement without delay. This decision of the state government will cost the Rajasthan government an additional cost of Rs 1,096 crore.
The new rate will be deemed to be applicable from July 1, 2022. This decision of the state government will benefit about 1.5 lakh employees and 3.5 lakh pensioners.
It is worth mentioning that yesterday (29 September) the central government had approved to increase the dearness allowance by 4 percent. This is the highest in the last dozen quarters. Earlier, the average DA has been increased only by 3 percent, but this time in view of the impact of inflation, the government has opened its treasury. Now 50 lakh central employees and 62 lakh pensioners will get DA of 38 percent. The increased amount of DA will be valid from July this year and the arrears of the previous months will also be given to the employees.
