How to Calculate Night Duty Allowance
Formula to Calculate NDA
The approved formula to calculate NDA is
Night Duty Allowance (NDA) = [ (Basic Pay + Dearness Allowance) / 200 ]
Check here how to calculate NDA in detail
Example :
Basic Pay : 20300
Current DA : 17% = 3451
No of NDA Hrs : 80 Mins. (8 Hrs)
NDA = [(20300+3451) / 200]
NDA = 120 per hour
For 8 Hours = 120 x 8
Total NDA Per Day = Rs. 960
