DA hike: Double DA relief coming in April! Just 4 days left for West Bengal govt employees

In the budget, the state government has announced a 4% increase in DA for employees. It will be effective from next April 1st, i.e., Tuesday. Only four days left.

A statement has already been issued by Nabanna informing about the increase in DA. The DA case of the state government employees is stuck in the Supreme Court. Next hearing on April 22.

In this situation, the month of April is very hopeful for the state government employees. Because the DA tangle of a section of the state government employees may be resolved in the next hearing.

State government employees will get DA at an increased rate from the month of April. Also, the next hearing in the Supreme Court is only within a month. So, government employees are seeing a ray of hope in April.

This time, accepting the application of all parties in the DA case, the Supreme Court has also placed the case in the top of the board list. State government employees are hoping that the case will be heard with importance.

The demand of the state government employees is dearness allowance at par with the center. But the state government is not ready for that.

By increasing the DA at the rate of 4%, the state government employees will get DA at the rate of 18%. Central government employees get DA at the rate of 53%. So, there is a difference of 35% in DA.

A section of the state government employees has called for a three-hour work stoppage every day from April 7-9 demanding outstanding DA. On the other hand, Trinamool-affiliated government employees have welcomed Mamata.
