📈Expected Dearness Allowance (DA) from July 2023 Calculator

Till the 8th Central Pay Commission is constituted and the recommendations are implemented, the Central Government Employees have to depend on the Dearness Allowance hike to atleast partially compensate for the ever increasing cost of living.

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.
