DA Hike 2025: Now the dearness allowance of these employees has increased, order issued, salary will increase in the account

Around 6,000 employees covered under NPS working in Himachal Pradesh Electricity Board Limited will now get the benefit of dearness allowance on the lines of the Central Government.

There is good news for the NPS employees of Himachal Pradesh Electricity Board. The Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu government of the state has decided to give dearness allowance to the employees at par with the Centre. The electricity board management has also issued orders in this regard. This will benefit about 6000 employees of the state. However, no decision has been taken by the state government on implementing the old pension scheme.

Actually, the employees covered under NPS (New Pension Scheme) working in Himachal Pradesh Electricity Board Limited (HPSEBL) will now get dearness allowance (DA) on the lines of the central government. According to the order of the board, after the 2% increase, now NPS employees will get the benefit of 55% DA instead of 53%. In future also, as soon as the central government increases the DA to the NPS employees, it will be automatically implemented in Himachal Electricity Board as well.

6000 employees will get benefits, demand for OPS also

  • The office order issued by the State Electricity Board management states that parity with the benefits given to the Central Government counterparts has been ensured. The employees of the board who are part of the NPS scheme will now get DA at the rates approved by the Central Government. The revised DA will come into effect from the dates specified in the Central Government memorandum of April 2025.
  • This policy is expected to increase the take-home salary of eligible employees and have a positive impact on their pension contribution under NPS. Let us tell you that at present there are 7000 such employees, who are before the year 2003 and they are given the benefit of OPS and get allowances of the state government. At the same time, 6000 employees are in NPS, who have been demanding OPS for a long time, which has not been fulfilled yet despite many assurances.
