Just as we expected. The All India Consumer Price Index number for (Industrial Workers) (Base 2001=100) for the month of December 2009 is 169 as announced by Statistics Department, Labour, Government of India.

Consequently, we can easily calculate the Dearness Allowance rate applicable for Central Government Employees as well Central Government pensioners with effect from 01.01.2010, using the GConnect DA Calculating tool by entering CPI Index (which is 169) in the box provided for the month of December-2009 and then by clicking the button “Calculate DA Jan 10″.

Go to GConnect Dearness Allowance Calculator for calculating DA with effect from 1.1.2010.

Yes. As calculated by you, the eligible DA rate with effect from 01.01.2010 is 35%. So, we may expect an increase in the DA rate to the tune of 8% from Jan 2010. Normally, the eligible DA Rate will be approved by the Cabinet and thereafter will be officially declared in the month of March every year.

Yes, We will get 8% DA w.e.f 01.01.2010.

Also I have calculated expected DA w.e.f 01.07.2010, without considering any change in Index nos. That comes to 9% minimum. So we may get more than 9% w.e.f 01.07.2010

This shows the rise in prices in market.

We feel happy with the money pouring in as arrears or increase in DA, but forgetting the fact that inflation and price hike is thrice than what we are paid as arrears. Also we must keep in mind that we are paying 33.33% income tax to govt on it.

It will b nice to get this slab of D A but it does indicate money devaluation and the G O I has failed to arrest price rise .

Yes, I still doubt whether Govt will enhance the DA to 35%. FM may cross his fingers seeing the total expenditure on account of 8% increase. He may have to find its source too.

Of course Govt will. They have no choice. It’s their own Rule Book that says so.

But as per the given formula, the DA rate from 1.1.2010 comes to more than 9%. Can someone show the calculation in detail? There is no chance that the DA rate will be 8%. It must be 9%.

@Ami Ray,

Based on All India Consumer Price Index (Industrial workers) exact DA rate w.e.f 1.1.2010 works out to 35.70%. In the previous cases you could have noticed that govt takes only the whole number and leaves the rest.

THANKS TO GOVRMENT/CIL FOR PAYMENT OF DA @ 35%. BUT DUE TO TO RELATED eg CMPF, FAMILY PENSION, 2% PENSION, & ITAX DEDUCTION NET PAYMENT IMPACT IS NEGLIGIBLE/EYE WASH.

Govt. may or may not accept the recommendation of 8% hike in DA from 1.1.2020. It also depends on the total amount likely incurred. So get ready to accept less than 8% also.
Finally, All Is Well

Hi!,It isn’t a matter of happy surpri(z)e for d expected da hike, bcos we ve already shelling out our pockets 2wards exorbitant food prices. I think we ve been marginally compensated sans the controlling food inflation!

On promotion a lots of the senior employees are getting less salary than new direct recrutee appointed on the same post after 1.1.2006. It is against the constitutinal right. Afterall constitution in India is over & above from any commission/department or its any recommendations.This fact should be understood by the ministry of Finance and mistake should be rectified shortly by issuing appropriate order protecting the interest of senior employee over the direct recruiteeon the same post.

Dear Sir,
True to the sense, will any of the Govt.employees all over India tasted the genuine benefits on account of periodic rise in DA. On paper it may seem hefty but in reality the rupee value having been heavily eroded, the rise is peanuts for common and middle class families. One can compare it to a dog chasing its own tail but unable to catch it. There is a famous Tamil song penned by the Poet Kannadasan “Kodi Asainthathum Katru Vanthatha,Katru Vanthathum Kodi Asainthathaa?” meaning where the plant moved due to wind, or wind blew due to plant?”

Since rate of DA is calculated on the basis of ACPI-IW and rate is coming to more than 35 % from January 2010, Govt. must accept the minimum DA hike i.e. 35 % from Jan, 2010. There is no alternative to it and Govt. is very much capable of finding the sources.

When the official gazette of increased DA 8% will be published. The Govt. must sincerely try to curb the inflation to stabilize the needs of common man.

Any govt which ever is there in the Centre should have done that but there is partiality shown for PBOR category people in the current hike as per 6th CPC. All the people who comes under PBOR should have got the hike but this is not the case. Why?

Issue of Govt. orders on D.A. hike has taken one week after its approval by the Cabinat Ministry. I feel when D.A. hike is mendatory in view of 6th pay comission and even before. D.A. need automatically rised immediately after Natiol Price Index is out at every end of the 2nd Month as scheduled by the Ministry of Labour. Announcement of hike in D.A. is nothing but showing GRASS to annimal at very much distence and giving it after annimal loose his hunger. Procuder that National price Index comes in the last day of subsequent month ie at every last day of January and July and it passes it to the Ministry at the end of next month. The Ministry takes its own time of one month to accep[t hike and then after one week or so Ministry of Finace passes order. This sows that Govt intentionaly delays due benifit to the Govt servents of their higher spending during previos SIX manths. This require deep thinking by the Govt. and allow D.A. hike immediately after PRICE INDEX IS out from the Ministry of Labour

Hello Madhu, read Comment No.1 of January 30, 2010, 16:13
I agree that as per latest Labour Bureau Indications, we will get 9% DA w.e.f 01.07.2010,
without considering any change in Index nos. That comes to 9% minimum. So we may get more than 9% w.e.f 01.07.2010

Mr. Madhu, I have a doubt in my mind, if DA crosses 50% or more, whether Govt will merge the same into basic plus Grade pay, as recommended by 5th CPC. Is there any provision in 6th CPC.

As per latest DA calculation, DA for January, 2010 has corssed 2.4%. If this trend continues and without any change in Indix Nos., the future DA definitely crosses more than 9% w.e.f. 1.7.2010.

Dear bhatt
NO it has not been accepted . As per para 4.1.18 of 6CPC recommendation, at any stage merger of DA with pay is NOT recommended which has been DULY accepted by Resolution para 2 (v). But some some of the allowances are ordered to be increased by 25% when DA crosses 50%.
