Currently, other than the government employees of the central government, the government employees of Uttar Pradesh are also expecting an increase in their dearness allowance. In May 2026, the Yogi government increased the dearness allowance for January. But as of yet, the Yogi government has not made any announcement regarding the increase in the dearness allowance for July. So the question arises, when would the Yogi government offer the dearness allowance increase as gift? As Diwali is just around the corner.

Provided the government offers an increase in the dearness allowance before the festive occasion; then for them, it will be like a gift. Let us see when and by what percentage the dearness allowance of the UP government will increase.

It should be noted that the UP government usually announces about this only after the government at the center announces the same. The last time the dearness allowance was increased by the UP government was in May. In May, the government increased the dearness allowance by 2 percent, thereby taking the dearness allowance rate to 60 percent from 58 percent. The central government had increased the dearness allowance by 2 percent in April, after which the Uttar Pradesh government also increased the dearness allowance (DA Hike News).

The central government has not yet announced an increase in dearness allowance for July 2026. It is likely that the central government will announce an increase in dearness allowance on Wednesday, October 28. Reports suggest that the central government may announce a 3 to 4 percent increase.

If the central government increases the dearness allowance for central government employees by 4 percent, it is possible that the Uttar Pradesh government will also increase it by the same amount. If this happens, the dearness allowance for Uttar Pradesh government employees will increase from 60 percent to 64 percent.
