Haryana Govt Raises DA and DR to 58% for Employees and Pensioners

The Government of Haryana has announced a revision in allowances for its state employees and pensioners, raising both DA and DR to 58% of basic pay or pension, up from 55%. 

The hike, notified on October 24, 2025, is applicable from July 1, 2025, and is the final increase under the 7th Pay Commission.

Details of the Hike and Payment Schedule

In an official communication, Haryana’s finance ministry stated that the enhanced rates will be effective from July 1, 2025, with arrears for July, August and September payable in the October 2025 salary or pension. 

Employees and pensioners will receive the revised amount in their next payments. The revision mirrors a similar move by the central government earlier this month, which also increased DA and DR from 55% to 58%.

Implications and Context

The 3% increase addresses inflation and cost-of-living pressures for government staff and retirees, signalling the state’s commitment to maintaining real incomes. As the 7th Pay Commission cycle ends on December 31, 2025, this change marks a concluding adjustment under its framework before preparations for the 8th Pay Commission begin.
