What the report makes clear: The Madhya Pradesh government has raised DA by 2 per cent for employees and DR for pensioners, with a clear payment timeline.

Still open: The report does not yet say the financial outlay of the hike or how many employees and pensioners it covers.

Another way to look at it: Staggered arrears spread the fiscal burden, but employees receive the full benefit only over three months.

How should states balance employee welfare with their salary and pension budgets?
