News Desk. Haryana Government has given major relief to retired employees and family pensioners receiving pension under the Fifth Pay Commission. The government has announced a significant increase in Dearness Allowance (DA), which will provide financial benefits to thousands of pensioners.
Dearness allowance increased by 17%
According to the new order issued by the Finance Department, dearness allowance of pensioners has been increased in a phased manner. Earlier the DA was 466 percent from July 1, 2025, which has now been increased and revised at different times.
Under the new system:
DA will increase by 474 percent from July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025
From January 1, 2026 onwards, it will increase to 483 percent
After this change, overall pensioners will get relief of about 17 percent.
11 months arrears will also be available
The government has also clarified that pensioners will not only be given increased DA but will also be given 11 months of arrears. This arrears will be for the period from July 2025 to May 2026 and will be sent directly to the bank accounts along with the upcoming pension payments.
The effect will be visible in the next payment
The increased dearness allowance for the month of June will be included in the next pension payment. Along with this, there is a preparation to give benefits together by adding the outstanding arrears, due to which pensioners will get lump sum financial benefit.
Waiting for pensioners of other pay commissions
However, at present the benefit of this decision has been given only to the pensioners of the Fifth Pay Commission. Pensioners covered under the Sixth Pay Commission will have to wait for this increase. Under the Seventh Pay Commission, DA has already reached 60 percent.
Pensioners got relief from this decision of the government
Thousands of pensioners of the state are expected to get relief from this decision of the government. The increased DA and arrears will improve their monthly income and reduce the impact of inflation to some extent.
