Expected Dearness Allowance (DA) from July 2010 -> 10% ?

Today Labour Bureau, released AICPIN for the month of June 2010, we all are waiting for this index value for long time to calculate dearness allowance from July 2010 onwards.

The AICPIN for the month of June 2010 is 174

Month All India Index % of increase
Nov-08 148 21.44
Dec-08 147 22.38
Jan-09 148 23.39
Feb-09 148 24.32
Mar-09 148 25.12
Apr-09 150 25.98
May-09 151 26.84
Jun-09 153 27.78
Jul-09 160 29
Aug-09 162 30.23
Sep-09 163 31.45
Oct-09 165 32.67
Nov-09 168 34.11
Dec-09 169 35.7
Jan-10 172 37.43
Feb-10 170 39.01
Mar-10 170 40.59
Apr-10 170 42.03
May-10 172 43.54
Jun-10 174 45.06

Based on AICPIN index, here we calculated DA percentage from 1st July 2010 onwards

As per index value, % of increase for June 2010 is 45.06, so it will be 45% dearness allowance from July 2010 onwards for central government employees.

How to calculate % of increase ?

Here is the simple formula for calculate increase percentage for AICPIN

=> DA = (Average of AICPIN for the past 12 months – 115.76)*100/115.76

Last time Dearness Allowance is 35% and this time will be 45%, so there is a chance for 10% increase in DA from July 2010 onwards.
