In Haryana, good news is in store for the employees and pensioners of the region. The government has decided to revise the Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) rates by 2%. The new rates will be effective from January 1, 2025, thus increasing the multiplier percentage from 53% to 55% of the basic pay.
Payment Schedule
The updated rates of DA and DR would be incorporated in the salaries and pensions from April 2025. Further, the pending dues from January 2025 to March 2025 would be settled in May 2025. This would be an added perk for nearly all the state pensioners and employees out there, adding to their financial strength.
Other states with similar reimbursement increments
Other states like Gujarat, UP, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Jharkhand, and even Maharashtra are noted to offer an increment in the DA for both employees and pensioners under a single banner for the region. The other income has generally been noted to be around 2%, or even more, with the retirees covering outstanding remittance payments.
Retired Employees Reappointment By The Government
As per the policy, the Haryana government ensures the smooth operation of the government departments by providing for reappointment of services by retired employees whenever necessary. The final power for such reappointments lies with the Chief Minister, for his approval is necessary. It was in the cabinet meeting of March 25, 2025 that this policy obtained approval.
