Andhra Pradesh Unveils Diwali Relief for Employees With DA From Nov. 1 and EL Arrears

Larger pay revision remains deferred pending fiscal clarity, with pension policy tied to court guidance.

Overview

  • The state will release one instalment of Dearness Allowance from November 1, with an estimated cost of about ₹160 crore.
  • One instalment of earned-leave arrears totaling ₹210 crore will be paid in two phases, providing near‑term cash relief.
  • Welfare steps include 180 days of child care leave usable any time up to retirement, a property‑tax waiver for employees’ association buildings, and plans to re‑designate Class IV posts.
  • The government targets a 60‑day overhaul of systems for real‑time management of health spending and insurance, and says RTC promotions will be cleared soon after Diwali.
  • Officials cite ₹15,921 crore in cleared dues and ₹23,556 crore of past commitments uploaded, while CPS decisions await study of a recent Supreme Court ruling and PRC benefits depend on improved finances.
