AICPI (IW) for June-2012 released, DA from July-2012 will be 72%.

AICPI (IW) (All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers on Base 2001=100) for the month of June 2012, has been published by Government today. AICPI (IW) has increased from 206 to 208.

The Dearness Allowance payable to Central Government Employees and Pensioners is determined based on All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers. After implementation of sixth pay commission, AICPI (IW) (Base 2001=100) is used to determine DA. DA for Central Government Employees and Pensioners has to be reviewed twice annually and revision if any would be payable with effect from 1st January and 1st July every year.

How to calculate DA from AICPI (IW)?






To calculate Dearness Allowance we require AICPI (IW) for previous 12 months.
Dearness Allowance with effect from 1st January every year
(Average of AICPI-IW for the months from January to December of previous year – 115.76)X100/115.76
Dearness Allowance with effect from 1st July every year
(Average of AICPI-IW for the months from July of previous year to June of this year – 115.76)X100/115.76
115.76 is a factor which converts 1982 series AICPI (IW) (Base 1982=100), which was applicable prior to 6CPC to 2001 series AICPIW (Base 2001=100). In turn, This is arrived at by dividing the 1982 series AICPI by a linking factor which is 4.63 (536/4.63=115.76)

Calculation of DA with effect from 1st July 2012:




So we have all the data for calculating Dearness Allowanance with effect from 1st July 2012 now.

= 72.41
Rounded to 72
