Dearness Allowance from January 2013 for Central Government Employees and Pensioners
Dearness Allowance for Central Government employees will be estimated twice in a year based on the movements in the AICPI for Industrial workers. The Fifth Central Pay Commission had adopted the AICPI (IW) using the 1982 series for estimation of DA. The Government has developed a new series with base 2001, with effect from January 2006. It is possible to generate the back data series with base 2001, with the help of the stipulated linking factor of 4.63. The 2001 series has an extended coverage of 78 centers compared to the 70 centers in the 1982 series.
The Commission, therefore, recommends that the AICPI (IW) with base 2001 may, henceforth, be used for the purpose of calculating DA till it gets revised. The base year should be revised as frequently as feasible. So with the base of 2001=100 the AICPI Number for Industrial Workers has been arrived every month.
So the past twelve months (starting from January 2012 to December 2012) AICPIN –IW average has to be worked out to find the Rate of Dearness Allowance to be paid from January 2013 to the Central government employees using the following formula
Dearness Allowance with effect from January 2013 = (Average of AICPI-IW for the last 12 months( from Jan 2012 to Dec 2012) – 115.76)X100/115.76
AICPIN – IW from January 2012 released by Labour Bureau ,Government of India
| Month & Year | AICPI Number for Industrial Workers |
| January 2012 | 198 |
| February 2012 | 199 |
| March 2012 | 201 |
| April 2012 | 205 |
| May 2012 | 206 |
| June 2012 | 208 |
| July 2012 | 212 |
| August 2012 | 214 |
| September 2012 | 215 |
| October 2012 | To be released |
| November 2012 | To be released |
| December 2012 | To be released |
We can assume with the above data that the AICPI Number for Industrial Workers for the remaining three months will be around 215 only, as there is no any abnormal fluctuation in AICPI for the last three months .
If it is so, the expected Dearness Allowance likely to be paid with effect from January 2013 will be 80%.

I worked in govt. Of India from 1972 and retired in April, 2008. I feel that I am deprived of MACP benefit though I completed 36years of service. Date of implementation of MACP should be from 1.1.2006 as the pay scales and other provisions are implemented. Also I feel MACP is renamed structure of AC P only. I request the National Anamolies Committee to look into the matter and persons like me.
Employees are in frustration mood to hear the news about Dearness allowance..!
Why this much delay to declare.
More than one crore employees are waiting for this news..!

sir,
i am working as a deputy chief ticket inspector in indian railways,posted at sc ,south central railway.
Every year staff are being added to ticket checking cadre from various other cadres after medical decategorisation.
now the medically decategorised staff are given pay protection and as well are included as per their basic and post in their earlier cadre and hence effecting the seniority of the existing staff who are serving in the ticket checking cadre.
now many have directly overtaken hundereds of staff in the seniority list.
could you please clarify on this and provide necessary orders or circulars if available.
is it true that medically decategoised staff when inducted into a new cadre are treated as surplus staff and if yes they should be placed in the bottom seniority in the existing list of the new cadre.
please clarify
regards,
