How much has the DA increased in Rajasthan?

The state government has decided to give employees and pensioners 58% dearness allowance under the Seventh Pay Commission, instead of 55%, effective July 1, 2025. The Chief Minister approved the Finance Department’s proposal on Friday. This decision will benefit approximately 800,000 employees and 440,000 pensioners.

Panchayat and Zila Parishad employees also included

Panchayat Samiti and Zila Parishad employees will also benefit from this increase. The increased DA will be paid in cash with the October 2025 salary, while the amount for the months of July to September will be deposited into the General Provident Fund account. Pensioners will receive cash payments starting in July.

How much will it cost the government?

This decision will impose a financial burden of approximately ₹1,230 crore annually on the state government. However, the government has described it as a sensitive decision taken in the interest of employees and pensioners.

Inspired by the Central Government’s Decision

This decision comes at a time when the Central Government also increased the DA for its employees on Wednesday. Following this, the Rajasthan government also directed the implementation of the proposal at the state level without delay. Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma immediately approved the Finance Department’s proposal on Friday, providing relief to millions of state employees and pensioners before Diwali.
