Punjab government has announced an 8% hike in the inflation allowance for state employees, with the revised amount to be disbursed this month.
Punjab’s administrative machinery will see a rise in the cost‑of‑living allowance for its civil servants, as the state government approved an 8% increase in the inflation allowance. The decision, made during a recent cabinet meeting, aims to cushion employees against rising prices.
The revised allowance will be added to the existing Dearness Allowance (DA) and will be credited to all eligible staff this month. The move follows a broader trend across Indian states to adjust employee benefits in line with inflation.
The government did not specify the exact new amount, but the percentage hike is expected to provide a noticeable boost to the monthly earnings of public servants. No further policy changes were announced in the same session.
