Kerala govt. enhances DA, DR to 35%
The Kerala government has increased the dearness allowance (DA) and dearness relief (DR) to 35%, effective April 2024. This adjustment aims to mitigate the impact of inflation on state government employees and pensioners. The enhancement will be reflected in salaries and pensions disbursed in April, providing immediate financial relief. This move is significant for UPSC and state PSC exams as it relates to state-level economic policies and employee welfare measures.
