AICPIN for May 2024: DA and DR Calculation for CG Employees & Pensioners
The All India Consumer Price Index Numbers (AICPIN) play a crucial role in determining the Dearness Allowance for Central Government employees, pensioners, and family pensioners. This essential index, known as AICPIN, serves as the cornerstone for calculating the Dearness Allowance, which is a significant component of the compensation received by these individuals. The calculation methodology is intricately defined within the framework recommended by the 7th pay commission, ensuring a fair and transparent evaluation process.
The Dearness Allowance hike is typically announced by the central government twice a year, effective from the 1st of January and the 1st of July. The calculation for the DA increment between January to June is based on the finalized All India Consumer Price Index Numbers figures for the month of June, determining the percentage increase that will be applicable for this period. Similarly, the DA calculation for the period from July to December is based on the AICPIN data concluded in December. This comprehensive system ensures that the adjustments in Dearness Allowance align with the fluctuations in the cost of living, as reflected by the All India Consumer Price Index Numbers.
