Benefits to 18 lakh government employees and 12 lakh pensioners
After this decision of the UP government, 18 lakh government employees and 12 lakh pensioners of different departments of the state will get the benefit. Let us tell you that the government revises dearness allowance twice a year. It is worth noting that this increase has been announced to be implemented from July 1, 2022, according to this, the state government employees will also get 3 months arrears this month. Let us tell you that on paying dearness allowance and dearness relief this month, there will be an additional burden of 296 crores on the government every month. On the other hand, if you add 3 months arrears, then there will be an additional burden of 1184 crores on the government for the payment from July to October.
Calculation on maximum basic salary
1. Basic salary of employee Rs 56,900
2. New dearness allowance (38%) Rs 21,622/month
3. Dearness allowance so far (34%) Rs 19,346/month
4. How much dearness allowance increased by 21,622-19,346 = Rs 2276/month
5. Increase in annual salary 2276 X12 = Rs 27,312
Calculation on minimum basic salary
1. Basic salary of employee Rs 18,000
2. New dearness allowance (38%) Rs 6840/month
3. Dearness allowance so far (34%) Rs 6120/month
4. How much dearness allowance increased 6840-6120 = Rs 720/month
5. Increase in annual salary 720 X12 = Rs 8640
Accordingly, a total of Rs 27,312 will come in the account of state employees with maximum basic salary i.e. Rs 56,900 annually. On the other hand, the government has announced a bonus of Rs 6908 for every employee. That is, an additional Rs 27,312 + 6908 = 34,220 will come in the account of the employees.
