The Dearness Allowance for the CG Employees is calculated based on 12 monthly average of the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW). These indices are compiled and released by the Labour Bureau in the Ministry of Labour. The figures are released monthly and the index for a month is released at the end of the subsequent month. The CPI IW is based on the inflation in retail prices with reference to the prices in a base year. Currently, the DA is calculated based on the CPI-IW with the base year 2016. The CPI-IW figures can be obtained from the labour bureau website at http://labourbureau.gov.in/LBO_indexes.htm.
