The Punjab and Haryana High Court has rejected the Punjab government's petition seeking a stay on the order to pay dearness allowance (DA) to 7.5 lakh employees and pensioners at par with IAS and IPS officers. This decision clears the way for an increase in DA from 42% to 58%, benefiting 3.5 lakh regular employees and 4 lakh pensioners. The court indicated it might extend the June 30 deadline for paying arrears but maintained that parity must be ensured. https://punjab.news18.com/news/punjab/chandigarh-punjab-high-court-rejects-government-plea-on-da-hike-for-employees-and-pensioners-local18-970677.html #Creator program
