According to a report by Sangbad Pratidin, the West Bengal state government has issued a formal notification regarding an increase in the Dearness Allowance (DA) for its full-time employees. The notification, signed by Additional Secretary of the Finance Department PK Mishra, specifies that the revised allowance will be set at 38 percent.
This adjustment is scheduled to take effect from October 1, coinciding with the upcoming festive season in the state. The announcement follows previous assurances made by the Chief Minister regarding the state's commitment to addressing employee benefits. The move is expected to impact a significant number of state government personnel as they prepare for the Durga Puja celebrations.
While this administrative update is specific to West Bengal's internal fiscal policy, it represents a notable development for the state's public sector workforce. As of now, the notification serves as the primary source for the implementation of this revised pay structure. Further details regarding the disbursement process are expected to be communicated through official state government channels in the coming days.
