7th Pay Commission Latest News: In a promising development for government employees in Uttar Pradesh, the state government is likely to announce a 4% hike in the dearness allowance (DA) ahead of the Diwali festival. This increase will benefit approximately 15 lakh government employees and eight lakh pensioners. Additionally, the government is expected to declare bonuses for non-gazetted employees.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is anticipated to finalize this decision following the central government’s announcement regarding its own DA hike, which is expected in the last week of September or the first week of October.
