The All-India CPI-IW for December, 2015 decreased by 1 point and pegged at 269. However, this month AICPIN most eagerly expected by all the central government employees. Because this is the Final month of last 12 Months AICPIN to determine the Dearness Allowance to be paid from January 2016

S.No Month AICPIN
1 January,2015 = 254
2 February,2015 = 253
3 March,2015 = 254
4 April,2015 = 256
5 May,2015 = 258
6 June,2015 = 261
7 July,2015 = 263
8 August,2015 = 264
9 September,2015 = 266
10 October,2015 = 269
11 November, 2015 = 270
12 December, 2015 = 269
AICPIN average = 261.41

As expected, the Percentage of DA from January 2016 will be raised to 125% from existing 119% with the increase of 6%

The AICPIN for the Month of December 2015 released by Labor bureau, put an end to all debates and assumptions over expected DA from January 2016. Last 12 Months AICPIN from January 2015 to December 2015 are required to calculate the rate of DA to be paid from January 2016. So now the exact rate of DA can be calculated after last 12 Months AICPIN are available.

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%.

The decision of enhancing the rate of DA from January 2016 will be declared after the approval Union cabinet in the first week of March 2016

New Delhi: All those central government employees unhappy with the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission on salary hike, may be waiting for the Labour Ministry to announce the All India Consumer Price Index or AICPIN (for Industrial workers) for the month of December in January.

On the basis of AICPIN, government announces the Dearness Allowance( DA) for Central Government employees. The DA is paid to Central Government employees to adjust the cost of living and to protect their Basic Pay on account of inflation.

After all its a matter of one’s monthly salary hikes! It is not unfair to hope that AICPIN for December is high, resulting in the DA higher than 125%, which the 7th CPC pegged for calculating the minimum pay determination and the fitment factor for the new pay structure.

The government reviews the DA every six months. The Cabinet, in September, had approved a proposal to hike dearness allowance by 6 percent to 119 percent of the basic pay, effective from July 1, 2015.

if the DA announced in January is higher than 125%, government will be compelled to revise the new salaries.

Since the 7th PC has already merged the DA with the new pay, government is unlikely to announce DA in January 2016 at all.

When the 6th Pay Commission’s recommendations were implemented from January 2006 onwards, the DA for the months of January 2006 to June 2006 was not paid. DA was issued only from the month of June 2006.

New Delhi: The recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission award to review salaries of central government employees, will be implemented in April and no separate DA will be announced, Finance Ministry sources said.

“The cabinet will give its nod to implement the Seventh Pay Commission award in April after some modification and it will be effective from January 1, 2016,” the sources added.

After receiving the Seventh Pay Commission report on November 19, the government had formed the implementation cell of the pay commission headed by ar Joint Secretary in Finance Ministry on November 20 last year.

With an eye on implementation of Pay Commission award, the government will not hike the dearness allowance (DA) to 1119% from existing 125%. The DA hike will be merged with the new pay as the Pay Commission made report, assuming that the rate of Dearness Allowance would be 125 percent at the time of implementation of the pay commission recommendation, i.e. on January 1.

Hence, the government has bound to implement the Seventh Pay Commission award in April, they confirmed.

The notification to put into effect the Seventh pay commission recommendation will be issued in April before the announcement of West Bengal, Assam, Kerala and Tamil Nadu states assemblies’ election in May 2016, which will benefit 50 lakh central government employees and 52 lakh pensioners including dependents, sources of Finance Ministry said Wednesday.

“The BJP led central government decided execution time of the pay commission’s award in April, which will also be possible pre-election “special packages” for West Bengal, Assam, Kerala and Tamil Nadu to win sufficient seats of states Assemblies polls, sources told our reporters.

The Seventh Pay Commission was set up by the UPA government in February 2014, The Commission headed by Justice A K Mathur submitted its 900-page final report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on November 19, recommending 23.55 per cent hike in salaries and allowances of Central government employees and pensioners.

The panel recommended a 14.27 per cent increase in basic pay, the lowest in 70 years. The previous 6th Pay Commission had recommended a 20 per cent hike, which the government doubled while implementing it in 2008.

The Seventh pay commission recommended fixing the highest basic salary at Rs 250,000 and the lowest at Rs 18,000and its increased the pay gap between the minimum and maximum from existing 1:12 to 1: 13.8

The government constitutes the Pay Commission almost every 10 years to revise the pay scale of its employees and pensioners, often these are adopted by states after some modifications. However, the Seventh Pay Commission suggested to discontinue the practice of appointing pay commissions in future.
