  "account": "The Telangana government has announced the release of two Dearness Allowance (DA) instalments for its employees, payable with their October salaries. These instalments, amounting to 3.64% and 2.73%, will add about ₹3,057 crore to the state's expenditure annually. This is in addition to DA payments for employees in various categories such as UGC/AICTE pay scales, Zilla and Mandal Parishad staff, Urban Local Body employees, and full-time contingent employees. The partial release of DA instalments, totaling 15.43%, is being granted after the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government period. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had assured employees of this DA release during a recent meeting. Finance Department Principal Secretary Sandeep Kumar Sultania stated that the revised DA will be paid along with the October salary on November 1, and the arrears will be credited to employees' GPF accounts. For pensioners, the revised Dearness Relief will also be paid in 33 equal monthly instalments starting from November 1.",
