DA RATES TABLE (D.A. RATES TABLE)
The ‘Dearness Allowance Rates Table’ is a statistical data sheet for Central Government employees, pensioners, and family pensioners. The compilation of the percentage of Dearness Allowance for the period from January to June and July to December every year.
In general view, Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) both are the same! D.A. and D.R. are primary allowances paid every month along with their salary and pension to existing employees and retired pensioners respectively. The amount of Dearness allowance is calculated on the basic salary. The amount of DR is calculated on the basic pension.
DA is declared twice a year for compensating the price hike of essential commodities. The calculation of additional DA is based on CPI (IW) BY 2016 as per the recommendations of the 7th pay commission.
The rate of current Dearness Allowance is 38 percent of the basic pay with effect from 1st July 2022.

Dearness allowance (DA) is calculated on the percentage fixed by the Central Government from time to time as per the calculation method prescribed by the pay commission. The percentage of basic pay is Dearness Allowance.
The formula for calculating DA is given below and the method of calculation is common for the 5th CPC DA, 6th CPC DA, and 7th CPC DA. The linking factor is given below for calculating the percentage of DA. The linking factor is nothing but the average of 12 months of All India Consumer Price Index numbers from Jan 2015 to Dec 2015.
Percentage of Dearness Allowance = (Average of AICPIN for the past 12 months – Fitment Linking Factor) x 100 / Fitment Linking Factor

How much total DA is given to central govt employees since Jan, 2016 till July 2017?
Sir,
The Notional pay calculations in respect of Pre 2006 Pensioners seems to be OK. But I have a difference of opinion in respect of Post 2006 and pre 2016 pensioners who have retired from Jan 1015 till June 2015. They have invariably completed 6 months or above after their last increment viz july 2014.
Their Notional Pay should be increased by one increment and not thier last pay drawn. These benefits have been neutralised in respect of Pre 2006 retirees/official retired/died after july 1,2015.
DA TABLE IS VERY INFORMATIVE.PL GO ON PUBLISHING.
Thanks to The Chief Minister
D A table is very much informative
