There is a good news for more than seven lakh employees of Madhya Pradesh. They will get increased dearness allowance in the coming budget next year. Along with this, dearness relief will also be given to pensioners in the state accordingly.
More than seven lakh employees of Madhya Pradesh will get up to 64 percent dearness allowance in the next budget (year 2025-26). Similarly, provision for dearness relief will be made for pensioners also.
If the annual salary increase will be at the rate of three percent, then the amount will be kept according to the increase in remuneration of contract employees by four percent. The Finance Department has asked all the departments to submit proposals for the salary and allowances item according to the number of employees and the recruitment to be held in the coming time.
Provision of 56 percent was kept, 46 percent is available
For salaries and allowances in all departments, provision has been made in the budget at the rate of 56 percent for dearness allowance of employees and dearness relief of pensioners. However, at present dearness allowance is being given at the rate of only 46 percent. Whereas, the Government of India has increased it to 50 percent.
All India Service officers in the state are being given dearness allowance at the rate of 50 percent only. Employees are also demanding increase in dearness allowance by four percent. Sources say that Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav may announce this around Diwali.
For the financial year 2025-26, the government has given instructions to keep the amount for dearness allowance at the rate of 64 percent. According to this, if there is an increase then the dearness allowance of the employees will increase by 18 percent in the coming financial year. Along with this, provision will be made for annual salary increase and increase in remuneration of contract employees like the current financial year.
Plans will be assessed
On the other hand, all the departments are also assessing all such schemes which are no longer useful. These will be abolished or incorporated into other schemes. For this, all the departments have been asked to assess each scheme on the basis of the achievements of the previous years.
