How to calculate Dearness Allowance?

Formula to calculate Dearness Allowance for Central Government Employees after 1.1.2016

DA % = (Average of AICPIN for the past 12 months – 261.4) * 100 / 261.4

Example:
For April 2019 (AICPIN 312 Points)
12 Months AICPIN total = 3623
(289+291+301+301+301+302+302+301+307+307+309+312)
12 Months Average = 301.92 (=3623/12)
DA % = (301.92-261.4)*100/261.4 = 15.49%
Approx DA = 15%
