How to Calculate Dearness Allowance for Central Government Employees and Pensioners after implementation of 7th Pay Commission?

Now that, 7th Pay Commission recommendations has been implemented with effect from 1st Jan 2016. Though 7th Pay Commission has recommended for using the same series of Consumer Price Index (Industrial Workers) with Base 2001=100, DA Calculation formula used for 6th CPC Pay will have to be revised as DA to the extent of 125% will be merged with Basic Pay on implementation of 7th Pay Commission recommendations.

In other words, DA on 7th CPC Pay with effect from 1st January 2016 will be reset to 0%.

New DA Calculation Formula based on CPI (IW) after 7th Pay Commission implementation will be as follows.

Dearness Allowance payable with effect from 7th CPC Basic Pay

= (Avg of CPI-IW for the past 12 months – Average of CPI-IW recorded in 2015)*100/(Average of CPI-IW recorded in 2015)

Like wise the latest DA Estimation, i.e DA from  July 2019 is as follows

Consumer Price Index from July 2018 to June 2019 is as follows.

Month	Actual AICPI-IW
Jul-2018	301
Aug-2018	301
Sep-2018	301
Oct-2018	302
Nov-2018	302
Dec-2018	301
Jan-2019	307
Feb-2019	307
Mar-2019	309
Apr-2019	312
May-2019	314
Jun-2019	316

 

 

Calculation of DA using the above data is as follows:

DA with effect from 1st July 2019	= [ (301+301+301+302+302+301+307+307+309+312+314+316)/12]-(261.4)X100/261.4
	= 17 % (increase of 5% from the DA of 9% w.e.f July 2019)
