DA Calculation based on AICPIN of May 2010

DA Calculation based on AICPIN of May 2010

The expected All India Consumer Price Index number (AICPIN) for Industrial Workers Base 2001=100 for the month of May 2010 has been released by Statistical Department, Labour.

The AICPIN for the month of May 2010 is 172.

Based on AICPIN index, here we calculated DA percentage for 1st July 2010.

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 ? ?

As per above data, we got 35% dearness allowance for last time based on % of increase in AICPIN.

If the index value remains 172 in June 2010, then % of increase value is 44.91,

=June 10 % of Increase index value minus Jan 10 % of Increase index value

=44.91 (-) 35.7

=9.21

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

If the index remains 172 in June 10, there will be an increase of 9%

Last dearness allowance is 35% + 9% during this year.

So there is a chances to get 44% Dearness allowance from 1st July 2010 onwards

Date
From which Payable		 Rate (%) Increase (%)
1st Jan 2006 0 0
1st Jul 2006 2 2
1st Jan 2007 6 4
1st Jul 2007 9 3
1st Jan 2008 12 3
1st Jul 2008 16 4
1st Jan 2009 22 6
1st Jul 2009 27 5
1st Jan 2010 35 8
1st Jul 2010 ? ?

However we have to wait for the next month index to get clear idea for DA percentage.

Nirman Bhawan, Maulana Azad Road

To
Additional Directors / Joint Directors of all CGHS cities

Subject: Guidelines for referrals to CGHS empanelled hospitals in CGHS cities outside Delhi, where there are no Central Government hospitals.

Sir:

I am directed to state that it has come to notice that CGHS beneficiaries residing in cities covered by CGHS (outside of Delhi) are facing difficulties in getting services of specialists from State Government hospitals and they cannot avail services directly from private empanelled hospitals. After careful consideration of the ground realities, it has been decided to issue the following guidelines for strict compliance:

(1) CGHS beneficiaries must compulsorily be referred to polyclinics wherever set up by the CGHS;

(2) It posts of specialists are lying vacant in polyclinics, GDMOs, who are post graduates may be posted in polyclinics for consultation, and on the basis of the advice / opinion to be tendered by them, CMO i/c, AD / JDs may refer patients to private empanelled hospitals and diagnostic centres, according to the choice of the beneficiary;

(3) In those cities which do not have polyclinics and if GDMOs who are post graduates are available, their services as specialist may be utilised and patients may be referred to the dispensary in which such PG GDMOs are posted or if space is available in a centrally located dispensary, the PG GDMOs may be posted there;

(4) In the event of neither a specialist nor a PG GDMO is available in a city, CMO i/c shall make a provisional diagnosis and refer the patients to private empanelled hospital for specialists’ consultation;

(5) A referral from CGHS dispensary is required every the patient is advised any procedure for investigation;

(6) If any specific treatment / procedure is advised (except in emergency) by private empanelled hospital, it must be counter-signed by CMO i/c before the services are availed, to check possible misuse;

(7) No permission is required in case of emergency, where a beneficiary can avail treatment in a private empanelled hospital, as per existing instructions;

(8) The beneficiary will have to go back to the dispensary where his / her card registered for collection of medicines prescribed by the specialist of the private empanelled hospital. No indent of such medicines will be made, for which similar drugs with same generic formulation available in the dispensary will be supplied, as per standing instructions;

(9) Beneficiaries can purchase prescribed medicines for 3 (three) days only from open market, which shall be reimbursed by the CGHS / Ministry / Department, as the case may be . For requirement of medicines beyond three days, medicines will have to be procured from the dispensaries; and

(10) Once a diagnosis and treatment has been advised by the specialist, doctors in dispensaries may follow up the case instead of referring back after the specific period of the prescription gets exhausted. They have to use their own clinical judgement for follow-up and adjust the dose schedules, if required.

This issues with the approval of Director General of Health Services.

Yours faithfully

(R.Ravi)
Deputy Secretary to the Government of India
