Uttarakhand government has increased dearness allowance for its employees by 8 percent, a decision that could cost the state exchequer Rs 300 crore, official sources said today.
The hike in DA has been implemented with retrospective effect from January one this year, they said.
Nearly 1.50 employees of the state government would get 35 percent DA in place of existing 27 percent. An order to this effect was issued yesterday.
