A simple calculation with an example of an employees’ basic salary is Rs. 37000 in the pay matrix pay level 5 and he is working in the metro city as per the classification of Transport Allowance. And the DA from 1.1.2020 is already declared 4% by the Govt. And we have assumed that the next two installments from 1.7.2020 and 1.1.2021 will be expected to hike by 3% each and the calculation will be as follows:

Administration: Further to my comments : For 17% of D.A. of Rs.3600/- should also be deducted.
Administration : You have calculated D.A. freezing this is to inform you that since the employee is not attended office in Lock down period in the month of April, 2020 the Transport Allowance of Rs.3,600/- mentioned it will not given orders already issued, so it should be reduced. (If an employee absent in the more than 15 days there orders it should not be given)
When the Nation is facing a pandemic like this,some sacrifice from the part of CG Employees / Pensioners is essential. No hues and cries please. It is my personal view. I m a pensioner getting lesser than what is calculated/ posted. Still I agree for 18 month’s DR in the interest of our Nation. After all the amount is meant for boosting health initiatives.
