DA Calculation
---------------------------------------
Percentage of Dearness Allowance
= (Average of AICPIN for the past 12 months – Fitment Linking Factor) x 100 / Fitment Linking Factor
Average AICPIN for last twelve months :
[ 329 + 330 + 332 + 336 + 338 + (118.1 + 119.5 + 119.9 + 118.8 + 118.2 + 119.0 + 119.6) x 2.88 ] / 12 = 338.7
Hence, expected DA for April, 2021
= (338.7 - 261.4) /261.4 x 100 = 29.57
