After the central government, now the Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh has given a big Diwali gift for government employees. The dearness allowance has been increased for employees and pensioners just a day before Diwali. The Yogi government has increased the Dearness Allowance effective from the month of July. Under the Seventh Pay Commission (7th Pay Commission), the Yogi government has increased the dearness allowance for employees from 60 percent to 63 percent. This means that the dearness allowance has been increased by 3 percent, which is going to be effective from July 2026. UP employees will now be given dearness allowance at the rate of 63 percent. The government says that the increased dearness allowance will be given along with the salary for the month of November. Also the dearness allowance for the month of July to November will be added together. This means that the salary of the employees and pensioners will increase with the month of November. It has also been informed by the UP government that from July to October, the amount of dearness allowance for the employees of the state educational institutions will be credited to the PF account.
