Dear Sirs,
Dearness Allowance for Workmen and Officer Employees in banks for the months of August, September & October 2018 under X BPS/ Joint Note dated 25.5.2015
The confirmed All India Average Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers (Base1960=100) for the quarter ended June 2018 are as follows:-

The average CPI of the above is 6604.29 and accordingly the number of DA slabs is 541 (6604.29-4440 = 2164.29/4= 541 slabs). In the last Quarter, payment of DA was at 529 slabs. Hence, there is an increase in DA slabs of 12, i.e. 541 slabs for payment of DA for the quarter August, September & October 2018.
