The formula (multiplication factor of 0.944) recommended by the 6th State Pay Commission is examined. Accordingly, the Government have decided to adopt the multiplication factor of 0.944 to calculate the future instalments of Dearness Allowance to be sanctioned to State Government Employees in the 2018 Revised Pay Scales for every 1% of DA sanctioned by the Central Government to its employees.

Accordingly, the following order is issued.
