The Madhya Pradesh government has approved a 2% increase in Dearness Allowance for state employees and pensioners for the year 2026, as reported by Dainik Jagran MP CG.
The state administration of Madhya Pradesh has issued an order to raise the Dearness Allowance (DA) by two percent for all government employees and pensioners, effective from the 2026 financial year. The decision, conveyed through an official circular, aims to offset rising living costs and align with inflation trends observed in recent months.
According to the circular, the DA hike will be applied uniformly across all categories of staff, including teaching, clerical, and technical cadres, as well as retired personnel receiving pension benefits. The increase is expected to be reflected in the next salary and pension disbursement cycles.
The announcement comes as part of the state’s broader effort to maintain the purchasing power of its workforce while staying within fiscal constraints. No additional details on the budgetary impact were released at the time of the statement.
Stakeholders, including employee unions and pensioners’ associations, have been advised to await further guidance on implementation timelines and any procedural formalities required for the adjustment.
