Calculate Dearness Allowance (DA) – Easy Steps

When it comes to figuring out Dearness Allowance (DA), it’s all about adhering to the guidelines laid out by the 7th Pay Commission for those employed by the Central government and retirees. Don’t fret, as the process is straightforward and can be carried out by using the formula outlined below, alongside a detailed breakdown to ensure precise results.

Dearness Allowance (DA) = (Current Index – Average Index) / Average Index X 100

The calculation of Dearness Allowance (DA) is based on two crucial elements. The first element is the Current Consumer Price Index, which is released monthly by the Labour Bureau. The second element is the Average Consumer Price Index, indicating the average index from the preceding period of CPI (IW) BY-2001.

In September 2020, the base year for the CPI index was transitioned from 2001 to 2016. To determine the Dearness Allowance (DA), the initial step involves harmonizing the AICPIN data with the updated base year before proceeding with the computation.

Explaining the Significance of AICPIN in Determining DA

The calculation of Dearness Allowance (DA) for employees and pensioners of the Central Government heavily relies on the All India Consumer Price Index (AICPIN). The current version considered for DA computation is the CPI (Consumer Price Index) for Industrial Workers with Base Year 2016=100. Monthly data is typically unveiled by the Labour Bureau on the final day of each month. To determine the DA percentage for the ongoing month, one must consider the AICPIN figures for the past 12 months, including the present month. Detailed steps for this calculation process are provided below.
