As per AICPIN data, DA would be 8% from January 2013. Central Government increased 7% Dearness Allowance from July 2012, so we have 72% in total from July 2012 onwards, now it would be 72%+8%=80% from January 2013. So we can expect announcement from the Government to increase of 8% Dearness Allowance from January 2013 onwards. However we have to wait for Government order for final confirmation.
