AP DA Hike GO 60 Released: Dearness Allowance at 37.31% from Jan 2024 - Full Details

This official order confirms a 3.64% increase in the Dearness Allowance, bringing the new rate to 37.31% of the Basic Pay. This revision is effective retroactively from January 1, 2024.

Deconstructing G.O. Ms. No. 60: What You Need to Know

The latest Government Order provides complete clarity on the DA enhancement. Here are the crucial takeaways directly from the official document:

  • New DA Rate: The Dearness Allowance for employees has been revised from 33.67% to 37.31%.

  • Hike Percentage: This represents a net increase of 3.64%.

  • Effective Date: The new DA rate is applicable from January 1, 2024.

When Will You See the Money?

This is the most important question for every employee, and the G.O. provides a clear answer:

  • Cash Payment: The enhanced Dearness Allowance will be paid in cash with the salary of October 2025, payable in November 2025.

  • Arrears Payment: The arrears on account of the DA hike for the period from January 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, will be paid to the employees at the time of their exit from Government Service (e.g., retirement).

  • In Case of Demise: The order specifies that in the unfortunate event of an employee's death before the order's issuance, the legal heir(s) will be entitled to receive the DA arrears.

Who is Covered Under This Order?

The G.O. confirms that this DA revision applies to a wide range of employees, including:

  • Employees of Zilla Parishads, Mandal Parishads, Gram Panchayats, Municipalities, and Municipal Corporations.

  • Staff of Agricultural Market Committees and Zilla Grandhalaya Samsthas.

  • Teaching and Non-Teaching staff of Aided Institutions, including Aided Polytechnics.

  • Teaching and Non-Teaching staff of all Universities, including Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, and Dr. YSR Horticultural University.

Special Revisions for UGC Pay Scales

The government has also revised DA rates for employees drawing pay under the UGC Pay Scales:

  • For Revised U.G.C. Pay Scales, 2006: The DA has been increased from 230% to 239% of the Basic Pay.

  • For Revised U.G.C. Pay Scales, 2016: The DA rate has been revised from 46% to 50% of the Basic Pay.

Both these revisions for UGC scales are also effective from January 1, 2024.

This official order provides a definitive and welcome financial update for government employees. While the enhanced allowance will soon reflect in monthly salaries, the arrears are earmarked as a future payment, providing a substantial sum upon retirement. Employees are advised to keep this official G.O. for their records.

Good News for AP Employees: G.O. 62 Released! DA Arrears Payment Schedule Amended

The new order modifies the earlier directive in G.O. Ms. No. 60, which had stated that DA arrears from January 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025, would be paid at the time of the employee's exit from Government Service. The government, after careful consideration and in the interest of employee welfare, has now revised this schedule.

Key Highlights of DA Enhancement

  • DA Hike: 3.64% increase, effective from January 1, 2024.

  • Total DA: This brings the total Dearness Allowance to 37.31% of the Basic Pay.

  • Monthly Salary: The revised DA will be paid in cash with the salary for October 2025, payable in November 2025.[1]

Revised Schedule for Payment of Arrears

The crucial amendment in G.O. Ms. No. 62 is the detailed plan for the disbursement of arrears for the period from January 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025.

  1. First Installment: 10% of the total arrears will be paid in April 2026.

  2. Remaining 90%: The balance will be paid in three equal installments in the following months:

    • August 2026

    • November 2026

    • February 2027

How the Arrears Will Be Paid

The order specifies the mode of payment for different categories of employees:

  • For employees under the Old Pension Scheme (OPS): The entire amount of arrears will be credited to their General Provident Fund (GPF) account.

  • For employees under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS):

    • The first 10% of the arrears will be credited to their PRAN accounts, along with the corresponding government share.

    • The remaining 90% of the arrears will be paid in cash.

  • For EPF-95 employees: The arrears will be calculated and paid according to the rules governing the EPS-95 scheme.

This revised order provides much-needed clarity and a concrete timeline, ensuring that employees will receive their pending arrears in a structured manner well before their retirement.
