The All-India CPI-IW for November, 2023 increased by 0.7 points and stood at 139.1 (one hundred thirty nine point one). On 1-month percentage change, it increased by 0.51 per cent with respect to previous month whereas it remained stationary between corresponding months a year ago.
The DA for Central Government Employees was earlier calculated based on the consumer price index with the base year 2001. The Central Government replaced it with a new consumer price index with the base year 2016 to calculate the DA from September 2020.
Based on the current calculation, expected D.A. from January stands to 49.68% with the release of AICPIN data. One more month's data is awaited, i,e. December 2023 which will be made available in the last day of January 2024.
If the current trend continues, it can be predicted that central D.A. will reach 50% from January 2024 and in addition to 4% increase in Dearness Allowance there will be hefty hike in HRA also.
