THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Finance Department has issued an order allocating four installments of dearness allowance to government employees and teachers. It will be given from April.

A total of 16% dearness allowance was allowed. Of this, three per cent on January 1, 2019 and five per cent on July 1, 2019 were merged into the basic salary as part of the pay reform. The new allowances were 4 per cent for January 1, 2020 and July 1, 2020. Dearness allowance should be 8% of new basic salary, but due to the change in the formula that determines it, only 7% will be received. The arrears will be merged into PF.
