Expected DA from January @ 42%

AICPIN 

The expected Dearness Allowance from January 2023 is 42% and it can be assumed as final based on AICPIN for December, 2022 which has been published on 31st January, 2023 by labour bureau.

Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (2016=100) for December, 2022 decreased by 0.2 points and stood at 132.3 points. 

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 : 

[125.1+125.0+126.0+127.7+129.0+129.2+129.9+130.2+131.3+132.5 + 132.5 + 132.3] x 2.88  / 12 =372.144

Hence, expected DA for January, 2023

= (372.144-261.4) /261.4 x 100 = 42.35

Odisha Government announces DA hike by 4% to its staff

AICPIN stood at 132.5 for October, 2022 : Expected DA @42% in January, 2023

The expected Dearness Allowance January 2023 is 42% and its may vary from upcoming AICPIN data.

The Indian government releases data about inflation and the expected Dearness Allowance percentage is calculated as a percentage of the current month Consumer Price Index (CPI). It is based on the assumption that the price of goods sold will increase in line with inflation.

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 : 

[125.7+125.4+125.1+125.0+126.0+127.7+129.0+129.2+129.9+130.2+131.3+132.5] x 2.88  / 12 = 368.88

Hence, expected DA for October, 2022

= (368.88-261.4) /261.4 x 100 = 41.12

DA Arrears of 18 months : No hope
