The All India Consumer Price Index Numbers (AICPIN) for May 2024 plays a vital role in calculating the Dearness Allowance (DA) for Central Government employees, pensioners, and family pensioners. The 7th pay commission has outlined a specific formula that relies heavily on the AICPIN.
The government announces DA increments twice a year, on January 1st and July 1st. The DA percentage is calculated until June and applies from July to December, while the December calculation determines the DA percentage for the following year's January to June period.
To understand the DA computation process, we'll explore the monthly AICPIN variations and their direct impact on the final figures.
