Dearness Allowance (DA) is a cost of living adjustment allowance paid to government employees, pensioners, and others as per the recommendations of the Seventh Central Pay Commission. The main purpose of DA is to mitigate the impact of inflation on government employees’ incomes. Dearness allowance for central government employees is calculated as a percentage of their basic pay. The percentage is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and is reviewed every quarter. Currently, the DA is calculated based on the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (AICPI-IW). The AICPI-IW is released by the Labour Bureau, Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India.
The rates of DA are usually announced every six months. Dearness Allowance is calculated as a percentage of an employee’s basic salary. To calculate your Dearness Allowance, simply multiply your basic salary by the Dearness Allowance percentage. For example, if your basic salary is Rs. 18,000 and the Dearness Allowance percentage is 38%, your Dearness Allowance would be Rs. 6840.
