The Haryana Government has approved an increase in dearness allowance (DA) for state government employees drawing salaries under the 5th Pay Commission.

The revised DA rate has been enhanced from the existing 466% to 474% of basic pay, with effect from July 1, 2025. An order in this regard has been issued by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, who also holds the charge of Additional Chief Secretary, Finance Department.

The enhanced DA will be included in the salary for the month of November 2025, while arrears for the months July 2025 to October 2025 will be disbursed in December 2025. As per standard financial norms, any dearness allowance amount involving fractions of 50 paise or more will be rounded off to the next higher rupee, while fractions below 50 paise will be ignored.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
