Maharashtra hikes D.A. with effect from Nov'12
Employees and pensioners to be benifited.
State government has finally decided to increase the dearness
allowance of state government employees by 7%. Finance Minister Jayant Patil
announced this on Wednesday.
Almost 16 lakh state government employees to get benefit of this
decision. Also around 4 lakh retired state government officers also going to
get this benefit. But this dearness allowance will be applicable from November
1, and that is why government employees are a bit unhappy.
Central Government increased the dearness allowance for their
employees by 7 per cent from July 1, 2012. This same dearness allowance was the
demand of the state government employees and they were fighting for this
dearness allowance from past one month. Finance Minister Jayant Patil agreed
this proposal in the cabinet meeting, and also stated that State government is
ready to approve and apply the 7 per cent additional dearness allowance for the
state government employees.
This decision of government is taken well before Diwali and it
gave a sigh of relief for the state government employees.
