The state government has made an important decision by announcing an increase in the inflation allowance for central employees. For a long time, central workers have been expecting the government to grant them a salary indexation increase for the Diwali holiday.
Just before Diwali, the Cabinet approved an increase in the inflation allowance, providing a significant gift to civil servants. An increase of 3 percent in the inflation allowance was approved for employees of the central government. Consequently, the inflation allowance for these workers increased by 3 percent, reaching 63 percent.
This increase in the inflation allowance applies to July. As a result of this increase, the salaries of central employees will increase in October. The total government expenditure related to this will amount to 10,016 crore rupees.
