7th CPC DA Calculation : 
7TH CPC PAY SCALE CALCULATOR FROM 1.1.2016
What are the 7th CPC’s Recommendations Regarding Dearness Allowance?
Dearness Allowance is one of the important issues that the Pay Commission deals with.
The calculation method that was recommended by the 6th Pay Commission was radically different from the ones suggested by all the previous Pay Commissions.
Dearness Allowance, which was increasing by 1 or 2% until the 5th Pay Commission suddenly shot up to double-digit numbers. Until the 5th CPC, the All India Consumer Price Index Number for Industrial Workers 1982 = 100 was used for calculating dearness allowance. From the 6th Pay Commission onwards, CPI (IW) 2001 = 100 was used for calculating the DA.
There was another crucial change that the 6th CPC made. it recommended that the Reference Base Index be changed from 306.33. As a result, 115.76 became the new Reference Base Index from 01.01.2006 onwards.
The report says…
The Commission assuming that the rate of Dearness Allowance would be 125 percent at the time of implementation of the new pay.
The Dearness Allowance (DA) is paid to Central Government employees to adjust the cost of living and to protect their Basic Pay from erosion in the real value on account of inflation. Presently, DA is based on the All India Consumer Price Index (Industrial Workers).
The JCM-Staff Side has suggested that the existing formula for the calculation of DA may continue.
Analysis and Recommendations
The VI CPC had recommended that the National Statistical Commission may be asked to explore the possibility of a specific survey covering government employees exclusively, so as to construct a consumption basked representative of government employees and formulate a separate index. This has, however, not been done.
Keeping in mind that the present formulation of DA has worked well over the years, and there are no demands for its alteration, the Commission recommends continuance of the existing formula and methodology for calculating the Dearness Allowance.
The prices of all items have been sourced from Labor Bureau, Shimla. These prices are used in the calculation of the CPI (IW) and subsequently the calculation of Dearness Allowance. In the current exercise the prices of all items are for the period July 2014-June 2015 and have been used in the calculation of DA at 119 percent operative from 01.07.2015.

Sir this month onwards how much DA give it to anyone
Dilbagh Rai says
[26/10, 2:05 pm] Dilbagh Rai: Dear Sirs, I would like to bring it to your kind notice that recently the government have increased D.A. of employees by 1%. for those who get revised pay. And 3% for those who do not get revised pay. I calculated that my unrevised pension was 18215 , and that way I would have got Rs.547/-as d.a. but now my revised pension is 46813 and at the rate of 1% of d.a. I shall get 468 only I.e.a loss of Rs.79/- app. Hence that a revised pay or pension receiver gets less instalment every time inspite of the
fact that he got raise in basic pay and pension. It has been happening right from the first instalment of d.a. after revision. Isn’t it a fraud on all employees and retirees?
Similarly from 1.7.16 till today we have got 5%d.a. that on 46813 I get 2340 whereas on18215 I would have got 14% that is 2550. Now please calculate the exact loss . That is 210 till1.7.17 0nly.
It is requested that the issue may be raised at proper forum of Central gov’t. The injustice done must be got undone by getting the fitment formula revised and also getting the D.A. calculation formula rectified accordingly.

Vijay Kumar Gupta says
I think, New DA from 01.07.2016 will be 2% as the calculation worked out it as 2.90% as detailed below:
Step 1- Average of 12 months (Jul 15 to June 16) to index is 269
Step 2-Average of 12 months (Jan 15 to Dec 15) is 269.42 which will be base index as on 01.01.2016 as per approval by Govt.
Step 3- formula has been used only by changing base index (earlier it was 115.75 and now it may be treated as 261.42) as under
(269-261.42) X 100/261.42 and it will come as 2.90
It means that New DA as per 7th CPC would be 2%,if my presumption is correct.
If any other opinion, please write us

rajagopal says
for the D.A from 01-07-2016, the factor 261.4 is not correct. I think it is arrived as 115.76* 2.25 = 260.46. So it should be 260.46 only. The 12 months average in CPI-IW is 269. Now the D.A = (269-260.46) *100 / 260.46 = 854/260.46 = 3.2788144. So, the D.A from july 2016 should be 3%
K N Katyal Retd Dir(IMD) says
Whatever base pt/ reference is fixed for DA as on 1/1/2016, DA increased be considered up to first decimal place, otherwise loss will occure to cg employees. Suppose there is 7.3% increase on pre revised salary, corresponding inc in revised salary would be around 2.8% . Leaving fraction 0.8% in revised salary will be large amount compare to 0.3% of 7.3 in old salary. Should it not be considered up to first decimal place.
Example
DA on pre rev salary say Rs 10000/ will be Rs700/ if 7% DA increases
Corresponding revised salary Rs 25700/will have DA of Rs 514/ if corresponding ins is 2%
RAMAN. says
125% D.R. is not taken into account while fixing the revised pension as on 1.1.2016. if the present basic pension is multiplied by 2.57 without adding the D.R of 125% is nothing but an increase of 1.32 % only. ie. after 10 years of revision only meager increase will come to the effect. As recommended by earlier pay commission 100% DR should have been merged with the basic pension and then to be multiplied by 2.57%. Otherwise it is nothing.
