Andhra Pradesh raises DA to 41.86% for government employees

Andhra Pradesh has raised the dearness allowance (DA) for government employees from 37.31% to 41.86% of basic pay, effective from September salaries. Two government orders have been issued to implement the increase.

Employees will receive arrears ranging between approximately ₹1.23 lakh and ₹11.07 lakh, depending on their pay grade. These arrears will be disbursed in phases, with payments extending until 2028.

The DA revision applies to all eligible state government employees and is intended to provide relief against the rising cost of living.
