The Fifth CPC had also recommended that
1. Dearness allowance equal to 50% of the basic pay should be converted as dearness pay each time the Consumer Price Index increased by 50% over the base index.
2. The dearness pay was to be counted as basic pay for all purposes, including retirement benefits.
3. The Government allowed merger of dearness allowance equal to 50% of the basic pay into dearness pay to be counted as pay for all purposes barring TA/DA, LTC and entitlement for Government housing w.e.f. 1.4.2004.
The Government merged 50% of the DA with basic pay w.e.f. 1.4.04 and the dearness allowance continued to be calculated with reference to the AICPI (IW) average as on 1st January 1996 of 306.33 without changing the base consequent to the merger.
