The proposal has been approved by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik. The rate of DA will now be enhanced to 34 per cent from the existing 31 per cent, a statement released by the CMO said.
Similarly, the state government has also increased the sanction of Dearness Relief (TI) of the pension of its retired employees by 3 per cent.
The employees will get the additional DA and TI amount in their September salary and pension along with eight months' arrear, the CMO said.
Around 4 lakh regular employees and 3.5 lakh pensioners of the state government will benefit from the hikes.
