The DA in many states is now equal to that of central government employees. However, there is no indication of a DA increase in Bengal yet.

There is existing resentment over the DA disparity with the central government. The Mamata Banerjee government is trying to address this situation. The Trinamool Congress-backed employee federation has reportedly requested a meeting.

The federation has 248,000 members, and this number could increase. The state government employees' primary demand is to reduce the salary gap with the central government.
