As per the order issued on August 25, the DA/DR rates have been revised from 15 per cent to 18 per cent. The increase will benefit government employees, teachers, aided school staff, part-time contingent staff, as well as service pensioners, family pensioners and ex-gratia pensioners.
The enhanced DA will be paid with the August 2025 salary, to be disbursed in September. Pensioners will receive the revised DR along with their September 2025 pension.
The order specifies that local self-government institutions will have to bear the additional financial burden from their own funds. Part-time teachers, part-time contingent staff and pensioners will get the enhanced DA/DR proportionate to their pay or pension.
The revision will also apply to employees and pensioners of state public sector undertakings, statutory corporations, boards, autonomous bodies, universities and aided institutions, subject to certain conditions regarding government funding and approvals.
