With this revision, the total DA hike announced by the current BJP-led government that came to power in 2018 has gone up to 20 per cent from 8 per cent.
“Today announced 12 percent hike in DA/DR for the employees & pensioners. Besides, also declared over 50 percent hike in remuneration of DRWs MRWs PTWs, and Contingent workers. The decisions will benefit around 1,94,000 persons/ families and will have a positive impact on the overall development,” Chief Minister Manik Saha tweeted.

Besides, the state government also declared over a 50 per cent hike in remuneration of casual-and-part-time-workers, which are over 8,600 in number.
“The DA/DR increased remuneration/wages etc, will be paid with the monthly salary/pension, etc of December 2022,” a statement by the state government said.
