Andhra Pradesh Government Employees to Get 2 Pending DA Instalments from October 2026

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has agreed to release two pending DA instalments to government employees from October 1, 2026, as per news reports. The decision was taken after he met employee groups and discussed their demands. 

The two DA payments have been pending since July 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025. The government will also appoint the 12th Pay Revision Commission. This will cost the state about ₹2,880 crore every year.
