Durga Puja Gift! Odisha CM Announces 4% DA Hike For Govt Employees & Pensioners

Bhubaneswar: The Naveen Patnaik-led Odisha government on Friday announced a four per cent hike in dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (TI) for government employees and pensioners, coinciding with the commencement of Durga Puja festivities in the state.

“The state government announces release of 4 per cent additional dose of DA and TI in favour of government employees and pensioners respectively to enhance the rate from 42% to 46%,” a CMO release said.

The enhanced DA and TI will be paid from July 2023, retrospectively, and benefit 4.5 lakh government employees and 3.5 lakh pensioners, it added.
