Good news has come for the government employees of Bihar before Chhath. Employees working under the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Pay Commission in the state have been given major relief amid rising inflation. Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary’s cabinet has taken a big decision on dearness allowance on Tuesday. Under this decision, the dearness allowance of government employees covered by the Seventh Pay Commission has been increased from 60 percent to 63 percent. The increase in DA-DR will be applicable from July 1 only. This means that employees will also get arrears of 4 months.
The dearness allowance of the employees working in the state under the Sixth Pay Commission and Fifth Pay Commission has also been increased by 7 percent and 14 percent. Since the basic pay of the employees of both the Pay Commissions is very low, their dearness allowance has been increased significantly.
