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.

    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.

    Apropos Amit’s content:
    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.

    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?”
