DA from January, 2013: Govt defers decision for hike

The Congress-led UPA Government today deferred a decision on hiking dearness allowance (DA) of central government employees to 80 percent from 72 percent at present.

Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari after the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh said 'the proposal on DA has been deferred as the Finance Minister was not present'.

Finance Minister P. Chidambaram is presently on an official visit to Japan.

About 50 lakh employees and 30 lakh pensioners would have benefitted with an increase in dearness allowance. (ANI)

A hike in DA has been proposed with effect from January 1, 2013, according to sources.

The government had hiked DA to 72 per cent in September last year. The increase was with effect from July 1, 2012.

The Confederation of Central Government Employees has demanded merger of up to 50 per cent DA with the basic pay and setting up the seventh pay commission at the earliest.

As per the practice, the DA is merged with basic pay when it breaches the 50 per cent cap. This helps employees get higher allowances as those are paid as proportion to the basic pay.

Additional DA from 1.1.2012, Cabinet likely to approve today.

We expected the same that didn’t happen last week, but Today Cabinet may approve 7% additional Dearness allowance from 1.1.2012 for Central Government staff and pensioners.

   Normally, the decision on announcing DA to the central government employees was to take place on the 2nd week of March and September every year. But this procedure was being postponed for various reasons. Last year, the announcement of DA from July 2011 was also postponed. The decision on the additional DA from March 2012 is expected to be finalized on 22.03.2012 at the Cabinet meeting scheduled on that day.

   As of now, an increase of 7% is expected which will raise the DA from 58% to 65%. As usual, the DA for March will be paid in April and the arrears for the other two months will be paid separately.

As we expected the Labour Bureau, Government of India has announced the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial workers (AICPI (IW)) for the month of December 2011.The AICPIN now stands at 197 for the month of December 2011. In the previous month (November-2011), AICPI (IW) was 199.
Now We all know the All India Consumer Price Index (AICPIN ) for Industrial workers for the months from January 2011 to December 2011.So now it is easy to everybody to calculate the expected Dearness Allowance from January 2012 according to the following formula.
Dearness Allowance = (Avg of AICPIN for the past 12 months – 115.76)*100/115.76
In the recent past, many were guessing the expected DA rate with effect from 1.1.2012, using AICPI (IW) for the months from Jan-2011 to Nov-2011,even though the AICPIN for Dec 2011 was not announced. Since, the AICPI (IW) for December 2011 is declared last week, there is no need for any wild guess regarding the expected DA Rate for central government employees from 1.1.2012 any more.

Thus, the expected DA rate with effect from 1.1.12 is estimated to be 65%, which witnesses an increase of 7% from the existing DA rate of 58%.

The official announcement by the Central Government for eligible DA rate for central government employees with effect from 1.1.2012 will be expected in the First week of March-2012

7 % D.A Hike from January 2012

7 % D.A Hike from January 2012

Dearness Allowance to all categories of Central Government employees is being sanctioned by the Government twice in a year, on 1st January and 1st July based on the increase in the average monthly All India consumer Price Index and it is granted to compensate the price hike above 115.76 Points (Base Year 2001=100). The average increase is calculated up to December for grant of D.A from 1st January and up to June for grant of DA from 1st July. The average price index stood at 191.5 points by the end of December 2011. Thus, the D.A hike arrived  is 7% from 58% to 65% from 1st January 2012. Usually, Central Government announces the 1st January DA hike in the month of March.

Dearness Allowance (DA) Hiked by 7% – Cabinet Decision

DA Hike for July 2011

Central  government has hiked the dearness allowance (DA) by a minimum of 7 per cent, benefiting over 50 lakh central government employees and 38 lakh pensioners.

The hike will be applicable from July 1, 2011.

Dearness allowance is revised twice a year, on January 1 and July 1. The relief comes on the back of high retail prices, as inflation has constantly been above the 9 per cent mark.

Headline inflation, based on movement in wholesale prices, was 9.78 per cent in August, much above the comfort level of 5-6 per cent. Food inflation, too, was close to 9.5 per cent for the week ending September 03.

Now the Current DA rate is 58%.

The Union Cabinet today approved release of additional installment of Dearness Allowance to Central Government employees and Dearness Relief to pensioners as due from 01.07.2011 at the rate of 7 per cent over the existing rate of 51 per cent.

The total financial implications on account of both Dearness Allowance and Dearness Relief would be Rs.7228.76 crore per annum and Rs.4819.22 crore in the current financial year.

DA from 01/07/2011

D.A. expected to be hiked 7 to 8% as on 01.07.2011

 . All India Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW) on base 2001=100 for the month of May, 2011 increased by 1 points and stood at 187 (one hundred and Eighty seven).

Accordingly, the DA payable from 01.07.2011 will be 58-59% as detailed below: 

07/10:178

08/10:178

09/10:179

10/10: 181

11/10: 182

12/10: 185

01/11: 188

02/11: 185

03/11: 185

04/11: 186

05/11: 187

                     06/11: 187 (if unchanged)

 Total: 2201

Twelve monthly Average is: 2201/12 = 183.41

DA Calculation:

183.41 (-) 115.76 = 67.65 X 100/115.76 = 58.44%

Calculation Method-Implementation of sixth pay commission report, Government ordered that the dearness allowance has to be calculated based on CPI-IW index with the base year 2001=100. 
So, DA with effect from the period 1.1.2006, has to be calculated using average Price CPI-IW index of 536 for 2005 (base 1982=100) adjusted to the base year 2001=100 by dividing the same with the Linking Factor between 1982 and 2001 Series which is 4.63. As a result, the average consumer price index (Industrial workers) for 12 months in 2005 (base 2001=100) was worked out to 115.76.
