How will the calculation be done: Suppose your salary is Rs 18000, then your monthly bonus of 30 days can be around Rs 17,763. According to the calculation given by the government, it is 7000*30/30.4= Rs 17,763.15.
Let us tell you that the central employees are waiting for the DA for the second half of the year. It is believed that the government may increase DA by up to 4 percent for the half year from July to December. However, the official announcement is still awaited.
