Uttar Pradesh government approves ₹105 increase in daily duty allowance for PRD personnel, effective April 1, 2025.
The Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday approved a hike in the daily duty allowance of Prantiya Rakshak Dal (PRD) personnel from ₹395 to ₹500.
The decision was taken at a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna said that the current daily allowance of ₹395 per personnel would be increased by ₹105, taking it to Rs 500 per day per person.
The revised allowance will come into effect from April 1, 2025.
Following the implementation of this proposal, PRD personnel will receive an increased monthly allowance of ₹3,150, assuming 30 days of attendance, he said.
Mr. Khanna said the move is expected to benefit 34,092 PRD personnel across the state and is part of the government's ongoing efforts to strengthen auxiliary security forces and recognise their contribution to maintaining law and order.
The increase will entail an expenditure of ₹75.87 crore. PRD works for the preservation of public peace.
