Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has announced a significant 2% increase in the Dearness Allowance (DA) for state government employees, raising their DA to 60%.

Pensioners will start receiving the DA benefits from July 2026. Employees receiving pension under the Sixth Pay Commission have also been given a 5% hike in their pension. The finance department has instructed officials across departments to provide pensioners with the DA benefits promptly. Currently, state employees are lagging behind central counterparts by 3% concerning DA.
