Kerala government has announced an increase of 10% in the salary slab, benefiting lakhs of civil servants and retirees.
Based on this decision, both state and central government employees will directly receive benefits. State government staff who had initially expected a hike from the Central Board of Revenue have now received it here as well.
The hike aims to increase the Deputy Employee (DE) to 35% from the current 25%, leading to increased income for these workers. The increase is specifically applicable to local authorities, educational institutions, and technical institutes, including non-teaching staff at schools, colleges, and polytechnic institutes.
The enhanced salaries will be effective in March of their salary months, while pensioners will receive a 10% pay raise starting April when pensions are reissued.
