Simple and Accurate Expected DA Calculator for CG Employees and Pensioners..!
“After
the 6th Pay Commission, the curiosity to find out the rates of Dearness
Allowance had increased considerably, because, until then, the raise
was very minimal. After 2008, the DA graph continued to head north. At
one point, the percentage had touched 10% twice.”
It
has become very common nowadays to make predictions on Expected DA,
which is issued to the Central Government employees and pensioners once
every six months. Even a few years ago, ‘SWAMY’s NEWS’
was the only source of this information. Their monthly publication,
‘Swamysnews’ is their specialty. They usually contain all the latest
Government Orders, Case-Law Section, Supreme Court Judgments, Tribunal
Judgments, Question and Answer(Readers Forum) section and Expected DA.
After
the 6th Pay Commission, many began to write about Dearness Allowance on
their websites. Since the employees were also curious to know,
readership for such articles and predictions continued to be high. Now, EXPECTED DA continues to be a very exciting phrase among Central Government employees.
How is the additional DA forecast made?
Calculating the Dearness Allowance is very simple. The method is fairly well known. Still, for the sake of the uninitiated, click here for the detailed methodology.
Dearness
Allowance is calculated based on AICPIN (All India Consumer Price Index
for Industrial Workers by 2001 = 100) statistic index. Each month, the
Ministry of Labour releases this number for the previous month. More
than 70 cities and towns across India are selected and
price-fluctuations of essential commodities are noted for an entire
month. The reports are released as press release at the end of the
following month.
Based
on the AICPIN numbers of January-June and July to December, the
Dearness Allowances are calculated. The first installment of Dearness
Allowance is announced in January, based on the AICPIN numbers of the
previous six months, i.e., from June to December of the previous year.
The second installment is given in July, based on the AICPIN numbers of
January to June.
We
have created a calculator to find out the expected increase in DA. This
Expected DA Calculator is simple, easy to use, and accurate. All you
have to do is type in the expected (or desired) AICPIN numbers. When you
enter the index, the calculator will give you the accurate percentage
of DA increase for the month you have typed.
The calculator also shows you the total additional Dearness Allowance percentage and total DA and DR from July 2015.
The
AICPIN data for the first three months of 2015 is now available. To
find out the expected DA of July 2015, all you have to do is enter the
expected (or desired) AICPIN values of the next three months.
The
calculator is designed in such a way that you could also find out the
approximate DA of January 2016. The recommendations of the 6th Pay
Commission come to an end with this installment. The next Dearness
Allowance with effet form 1.1.2016 will be calculated based on the
recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission.
