RK SAHNI WRITES

Dear Shri Jain,

For calculating DA Slabs quarterly average of CPI for Industrial Workers is taken into account. The monthly CPIIW is announced by Labour Bureau,Shimla on the last working of the following month eg the monthly CPI for Sept.,2013 was released on 31.10.2013. The same is available after 4.00PM on the said date.

You can get the CPI by calling 0177-2653157/58.

Calculation of Qly Avg.:
Jul 2013 235
Aug 237
Sept 238
Total 710
Avg. =710/3

This CPI is on base of 2000. We are paid on the basis of
Cpi at Base= 1960. So this avg is converted by multiplying this avg. by 4.63 and 4.93.
Thus The average is arrived as under:-

710/3*4.63*4.93=5402.12967
From the above average we have to deduct the qly avg.
at which the DA slabs were released wef 01.08.2013.
Thus
5402-5208=194
This is to be divided by 4 as one slab of DA is for 4 points increase in CPI.

Thus No. of DA Slabs= 194/4=48.5 ie 48 slabs wef 01.11.2013 for in service employees.
Thus you can calculate DA Slabs for yourself.
