The Tamil Nadu Government has revised the Dearness Allowance (DA) based on the Consumer Price Index of Chennai for 2025. This revision is applicable from 01/04/2026 for various scheduled employments under the Minimum Wages Act.

The updated DA varies by industry and is calculated per point, leading to revised monthly or daily wage increases across sectors like manufacturing, construction, textiles, and services.

Employers must ensure compliance by updating wage structures as per the revised DA rates.
