DA Hike in Tamilnadu: With the beginning of the new year, the government employees of Tamil Nadu as well as the permanent employees of the temples have enjoyed themselves. Recently, the state government had increased the dearness allowance of the government employees working in the state. After this, it has now been announced to increase the DA of the temple employees. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has ordered a four percent hike in the Dearness Allowance (DA) of permanent temple employees under the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department (HR and CE).

Will be effective from January 1, 2023.
According to the notification issued by the government, the allowance of temple employees has been increased from 34 percent to 38 percent. The increased allowance has been made effective from January 1, 2023. The increased salary of temple employees is expected to come in February. About 10,000 permanent workers will benefit from this decision taken by the government. This will put a burden of seven crore rupees on the government annually.

The order will be applicable to such temples.
This order has been applicable to those temples whose annual income is one lakh rupees or more. The Chief Minister has also ordered to increase the Pongal bonus from Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000 for all temple workers (full-time, part-time or daily wages). This will put a burden of Rs 1.5 crore on the exchequer.

DA of state employees also increased
Last days, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu had announced to increase DA of state employees as well. This has also been increased from the previous 34 percent to 38 percent. This announcement was made by the government on the first working day of the year. Along with this, pensioners will also get 4 percent additional DA.

DA of central employees will increase soon
Central Government is also going to increase DA of employees and pensioners soon. Before Holi in March, the government can announce an increase in the DA of the employees. This time also a 4 percent increase in dearness allowance is expected.
