How to Calculate DA?

The calculation of Dearness Allowance (DA) for Central government employees and pensioners is in accordance with the guidelines established by the 7th Pay Commission. The process involves a straightforward formula, detailed below, along with a step-by-step explanation of how to conduct the calculation.

Dearness Allowance (DA) = (Current Index – Average Index) / Average Index X 100

The computation of Dearness Allowance (DA) depends on two primary factors. The first factor is the Current Consumer Price Index, which is released on a monthly basis by the Labour Bureau. The second factor is the Average Consumer Price Index, which reflects the average index from the preceding period of CPI (IW) BY-2001.

In September 2020, the base year for the CPI index was revised from 2001 to 2016. To determine the Dearness Allowance (DA), the initial step involves adjusting the AICPIN data to correspond with the updated base year before proceeding with the calculation process.

The following steps outline a straightforward method to perform this calculation.
