The All-India CPI-IW for November, 2020 increased by 0.4 points and stood at 119.9 (one hundred nineteen and point nine).

The next issue of CPI-IW for the month of December, 2020 will be released on Friday 29th January, 2021. The same will also be available on the office website www.labourbureaunew.gov.in


N.B. Dearness Allowance for Central Government Employees was continued to be calculated after implementation of 7th Pay Commission based on consumer price index with Base 2001=100 till August 2020. 

From the month of September 2020, Govt replaced CPI with base 2001=100 with new consumer price index with base 2016=100.
Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI - IW) from January, 2016 is given below. 

After July 2019, Government Order for Dearness Allowance Rate for Central Government Employees was not issued on account of DA Freeze announced by Government till July 2021.

Expected DA as on 1st December, 2020 is 27% as per usual calculation. Similarly, it is expected to increase more by July, 2021. But no arrears will be paid to the Government employees for this freezing period.
