Dear Sir/ Madam,

Dearness Allowance for Workmen and Officer Employees in banks for the months of May, June and July, 2023_ under XI BPS/ 8th Joint Note dated 11.11.2020

January    2023    8730.09
February  2023    8723.51

The average CPI of the above is 8738 and accordingly the number of DA slabs are 596 (8738-6352=2386/4=596 Slabs). The last quarterly Payment of DA was at 588 Slabs. Hence, there is an increase in DA slabs of ‘8’ i.e. 596 Slabs for payment of DA for the months May, June and July, 2023.
