The hourly rate of Night Duty Allowance is calculated through this approved formula

NDA hours calculation

Night Duty Hours for Duty Performed from 2200 Hrs to 0600 Hrs is 80 minutes.

For 6 Days a week 6 x 80 Minutes = 480 Minutes = 8 Hours/ Week

The payment NDA for 8 Hours

If the basic Pay = Rs.41000
DA @ 7% = Rs. 2870

So the

Hourly Rate of NDA = 41000 + 2870 / 200
= Rs. 220 / Hour
For 8 Hours = Rs. 1760
