How is dearness allowance determined?

How much is the AICPI-IW increasing?

According to data from the Labor Bureau’s website, it has been increasing since March.

The CPI-IW was recorded at 143 in March 2025, then 143.5 in April 2025. It then increased by 0.5 to 144 in May 2025.

What is dearness allowance?

To address rising inflation, every employee receives a dearness allowance along with their basic salary. This is revised twice a year. The amount of increase or decrease is determined based on current inflation. CPI-IW data is used to calculate this amount.

Before Rakshabandhan, the government may give a good news for central employees. According to a TOI report, it is being said that from July to December 2025, dearness allowance (DA) may increase by 3%. This means that what is currently 55% will increase to 58%. The government usually changes the dearness allowance twice a year and later makes an official announcement. Keep in mind, DA is given to government employees and DR (Dearness Relief) to people receiving pension.

DA may increase by up to 3%

The government increases DA (dearness allowance) twice a year so that the salary of the employees keeps increasing according to inflation. In January, DA was increased by 2% from 53% to 55%. According to a TOI report, now it can increase by another 3% based on the AICPI-IW (All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers) data of June. If calculated by the DA formula, it can be around 58.18%. After the government’s announcement, it is directly added to the salary. Usually this increase is announced before the festive season. This time too, it is likely that it will be announced around Diwali in October.

DA Hike: How much will the salary increase

The increase in dearness allowance has a direct impact on the salary of central employees and pension of pensioners. For example, if the basic salary of an employee is Rs 40,000 and DA increases from 55 per cent to 58 per cent, then their monthly DA amount will increase from Rs 22,000 to Rs 23,200. This increase will benefit more than one crore employees and pensioners of the country. This announcement is usually made around Diwali and this time too its official announcement is expected in October or November.

Actually, on this day, the Labor Bureau will release the data of CPI-IW (Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers) for June 2025, which directly determines the rate of Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief. Looking at the increase in CPI-IW of the last 3 months, it is possible that a 3% increase in DA will be implemented from July 2025. With this, DA will increase from 55% to 58%.

HS Tiwari, General Secretary of the All India Accounts Committee, said that the All India CPI-IW for May 2025 was 144.0, which is 0.5 points higher than April. Positive trends have also been seen in both March and April. The increase of 3 consecutive months has almost decided the DA hike. If it remains at 144 in June, then a 3 percent increase in dearness allowance will be implemented from July. However, the announcement of this increase is possible in the festive season of October.

Currently DA = 55%

Potential new DA = 58%

How much will be the difference in salary?

Suppose the basic salary of a central government employee is Rs 30,000 per month. At the current rate of 55%, he is getting DA of Rs 16,500 per month. When it increases to 58%, the DA will become Rs 17,400 per month. That means the employee will get a benefit of Rs 900 per month, that is, a benefit of Rs 10,800 annually.
