Method of Calculation of Dearness Allowance and Expected DA Increase from Jan 2014

Calculation of DA(Dearness Allowance) Rates

  • DA rates for Government employees are to be announced half yearly which will be applicable from first January and First July.
  • On implementation of Sixth Pay Commission recommendations with effect from 01.01.2006 a new method of calculation of DA (dearness allowance) rates is adopted by Central (including Railways) and State Governments.
  • DA rates are fixed on the basis of All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI) for industrial workers with Base year as 2001.

Method of Calculation

DA is calculated using the following formulae:

Dearness Allowance = (Avg of AICPI for the past 12 months - 115.76)*100/115.76

(Fractions are ignored)

 

The figure 115.76 signifies the average of Price Index from Jan 2005 to Dec 2005.

 

Example: To calculate Jan 2014 DA rate Price index average from Jan 2013 to Dec 2013 is taken.

 

AICPI data for Jan 2013 to Dec 2013 as per Labour Bureau, Department Statistics, Government of India website is as follows:

Average

232.66

 (November and December indexes are not actuals, based only on average for calculation purposes)

Dearness allowance (01.01.2013)=( 232.66-115.76)*100/115.76=100.009

DA  (after ignoring fraction)=100 %

So Rate of DA expected from 01.01.2014 is 100 %

The rate of increase will be 10% (90% to 100%).

Sir, 
 
 I have been selected as SSE/Drg (Civil)GP. 4600/- through RRB/CDG. I was JE/Drg (Civil) GP. 4200/- since 6.7.1990. I was in GP. 4600/- MACP since Jul., 2011. I want to know whether I must have to complete one year training or it is not necessary as I have already passed out training as JE/Drg and 2 years service of GP 4600/- .
My second question is that I had applied with NOC from Deptt. So what type of leaves can I take during the training period. Whether child care leave can be availed during training period. My only daughter is 9 years old with 100% disability.

You can be given exemption from training only if your Department head think so. He has to take into consideration the training content and job nature.

You will be eligible for all leaves of a regualr employee. But  your traning may be extended if you take long leave. this may affect seniority.

Thanks a lot for the reply and wish you a very very happy and prosperous New Year full of laughter, peace and good health. 

Sir, 

   I have been selected against the panel of construction deptt. under Dy.CE/D/CAO/DLI. I want to know that the Deptt. head will be the competent authority i.e. CE/G, NR/HQ/Baroda House, NDLS or anyone else to whom I should apply for exemption of training. On 7th Jan, 2014 training of two months will be completed which is going under SSE/Drg under SR. DEN/C/UMB. So plz guide me to whom I should apply for exemtion. During this training period what will be my designation whether SSE/Drg or JE/Drg. Thanks again!
