Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai has approved a hike in the dearness allowance for government employees from 27.25 per cent to 31 per cent of their basic pay.
Bommai’s office said the 3.75 percentage points hike would cost the government an additional Rs 1,282.72 crore.
The fresh DA hike is applicable from July 1, 2022.
This comes just days after the union government hiked DA for its employees at the rate of 4 per cent.
The last DA hike in Karnataka was in April this year.
