What is Dearness Allowance?
Dearness allowance is such money, which is given to government employees to improve their cost of living. This money is given so that even after rising inflation, there is no difference in the standard of living of the employee. This money is given to government employees, public sector employees and pensioners. It started during the Second World War. At that time, this money was given to the soldiers apart from the salary for food and other facilities. At that time it was called Food Dearness Allowance or Dearness Food Allowance. Dearness Allowance was first introduced in India in 1972 from Mumbai. After this, the Central Government started giving dearness allowance to all the government employees.
Change happens every 6 months
Dearness allowance is given to improve the standard of living and food of the employees. This allowance is given to government employees, pensioners and public sector employees. Dearness allowance is given so that even after rising inflation, the employees do not face any problem in living their lives. Usually the Dearness Allowance is changed every 6 months, in January and July.
DA is different
Dearness allowance is given on the basis of the salary of the employees. Dearness allowance is different for government employees working in urban, semi-urban and rural areas. Dearness Allowance is calculated on the basic salary. A formula has been fixed for calculating dearness allowance, which is determined by the consumer price index or CPI.
This formula is used
Percentage of Dearness Allowance = Average of CPI for the last 12 months – 115.76. Now the amount that comes will be divided by 115.76. The score that will come will be multiplied by 100.
