Know how much salary and pension will increase on DA Hike
DA and DR increase is calculated based on the percentage increase in the 12-month average of the All India Consumer Price Index (CPI-IW) for industrial workers. The government usually revises these allowances on January 1 and July 1 every year.
DA for central government employees is calculated like this- DA% = [(Average of AICPI (Base Year 2001 = 100) for the last 12 months – 115.76)/115.76] x 100
DA for public sector employees is calculated like this- DA% = [(Average of AICPI (Base Year 2001 = 100) for the last 3 months – 126.33)/126.33] x 100
For example, employees whose minimum salary is Rs 18,000 will get an increase of Rs 540 on a 3% DA hike and those earning a maximum salary of Rs 2,50,000 will get an increase of Rs 7,500. Pensioners will also benefit from this, whose pension can increase by Rs 270 to Rs 3,750.
