Since the AICPIN for December 2015 came down by one point to 269 from the previous months 270 points, affected the DA rate reaching 126 %. It is expected that AICPIN for the Month of December will increase by 2 points and peg at 272 points. In that case, the average 12 months AICPIN will be 261.66. If this average applied in the formula to calculate the DA , the DA from January 2016 will be 126.04 with the increase of six percentage . Since December AICPIN decreased by 1 points the average AICPIN for the past 12 Months stands at 261.41 and this is the factor which restricted the DA rate with 5% increase.
DA = ( Avg of AICPIN for the past 12 months – 115.76)*100 /115.76
= (261.41666 -115.76)*100/115.76
=125.826%
According to the prescribed formula to calculate the percentage of DA, the exact rate of Dearness Allowance to paid from January 2016 is 125%.
