Likely Dearness Allowance for July 2011 for Central Employees

   Though it is very early to predict the D.A. for July 2011 at this point of time, we are being flooded by queries in this relation. It may be realized that D.A. is complete based on arithmetical calculation on All India CPI (IW) (Base 2001=100), the data for the entire six months is required to calculate the installment of D.A. payable. The labour bureau has released the figure for Jan, Feb and March as 188, 185 and 185 respectively. We are yet to know the figures of April, May and June. If we assume that there is no further increase or decrease in the numbers {maintains the current level for the next 3 months}, the D. A will be 7% from July 2011. It is again reminded that it is only an assumption, the correct figure will be uploaded as soon as data available.
