Expected DA on 1.1.2016 is Over – Ends with 6% Hike at 125%
Expected DA ends with a 6percentage hike at 125%; Labour Bureau releases the much-awaited AICPIN stats of December
The AICPIN statistics points for the month of December 2015 has been released by Labour Bureau. The index is one point decreased and ends with 269.
The AICPIN points for the months of July 2015 till December 2015, has concluded with some ups and downs. The AICPIN points that started at 263 on July and it has ended with 269 on an average of 261.4 points (254, 253, 254, 256, 258, 261, 263, 264, 266, 269, 270, and 269).
Since all the AICPIN points required for calculating the DA for the months of July to December have been released, the additional Dearness Allowance, which will be issued from the month of January 2016, has been decided. It will be implemented only after the central cabinet gives its approval.
The final instalment of the DA, to be issued as per the recommendations of the 6th Pay Commission, will see an increase of 6 percent and end at 125%. With this, it concludes its 10-year-long journey.
Starting from January 2006, Dearness Allowance was revised 20 times based on the method recommended by the 6th Pay Commission. It began at zero on 01.01.2006, and increased, step by step, to 125 percent by 01.01.2016. In other words, there was an average increase of 6.25 % each time.
Since the final instalment of DA percent and the 2.57 Fitment Factor, recommended by the 7th Pay Commission, are closely related to each other, there is tremendous curiosity to know about it.
It is surprising that the 7th Pay Commission had very accurately predicted the rise.
Based on the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, the basic pay of all the Central Government employees will be calculated, with effect from 01.01.2016.
There will be no dearness allowance for the six months starting from January to June 2016. The first instalment of the Dearness Allowance will be issued from July onwards.
The 7th Pay Commission has not recommended any changes in the DA calculation method. Therefore, the method implemented by the 6th Pay Commission will be used.
Based on the AICPIN points of January to June 2016, the additional DA will be calculated and will be given as the first instalment of the new DA.
It is being said that only after seeing the report submitted by the 13-member Empowered Committee constituted by the centre will the government decide on implementing the 7th Pay Commission reports.

As per 1st Order of ACP:-
ACP shouldn’t be granted to those employees who are promoted.
So, logically MACP shouldn’t be granted to them who granted ACP also.
AND THERE SHOULD BE A OPTION BETWEEN ACP & MACP otherwise some categories will get double benefit and govt. will be losser.

I do not see any surprise in the VII CPC predicting D A. Probably the statistics might have been worked out to make C P C prediction more respectable.
