PANJIM: The Goa government on Friday issued an order increasing Dearness Allowance (DA) of its employees and employees of government aided educational institutions by 5 per cent. The DA will be increased from existing 12 per cent to 17 per cent. This is one of the highest raises in DA since the past several years.
Centre had given the hike to Central government employees, based on the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission, earlier this month.
“The same may be paid to the employees along with salaries for the month of November 2019 with arrears from the month of July 2019 to October 2019,” states the order.
