Shimla, October 26, 2024: In a significant development aimed at benefiting employees, the Government of Himachal Pradesh has announced an increase in Dearness Allowance (DA) for employees of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (HPTDC). The DA has been enhanced from the existing rate of 34% to 38%, effective from April 1, 2024.
This decision follows the Government’s Office Memorandum No. Fin(C)-B(7)-1/2021 dated March 2, 2024, which originally increased DA for State Government employees. HPTDC employees will receive the additional 4% ADA as part of their October 2024 salary, provided in cash.
Managing Director of HPTDC, Rajiv Kumar, emphasized the Corporation’s commitment to its workforce, stating that detailed instructions regarding the payment of arrears from July 1, 2022, to September 30, 2024, will be issued separately. This step is being taken in consideration of the Corporation’s financial position.
The enhancement of DA reflects the Government’s ongoing efforts to support employees amidst economic challenges, ensuring financial relief and stability.
