The Dearness Allowance for Central Government Employees is computed using the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers, which is averaged over 12 months (CPI-IW). The Labour Bureau of the Ministry of Labour compiles and publishes these indexes. The numbers are issued on a monthly basis, with the index for the previous month released at the end of the next month. The CPI IW is calculated by comparing retail price inflation to prices in a base year. The DA is currently calculated using the CPI-IW with 2016 as the base year. The numbers for the CPI-IW can be found on the labour bureau's website at http://labourbureau.gov.in/LBO_indexes.htm.
Dearness Allowance hike is one of the most awaited CG staff news that the employees are looking forward to. StaffCorner is bringing the DA Calculator so that the central government employees can estimate the Dearness Allowance and Dearness Allowance applicable to Central Government Employees and Pensioners in advance on their own.
