DA from January 2019 – CPI for the month of July 2018 witnessed unprecedented
10 point increase – Highest monthly increase in CPI index (Base 2001=100) witnessed earlier was 7 points in the month of July 2009
Will it impact DA from January 2019 payable to Central Government Employees ?
Govt has released All India Consumer Price Index (Industrial workers) for the Month of July 2018. It could be seen that increase in CPI is 10 Points which is unprecedented in the recent years
Historical data reveals that out of consumer price index for the period from 2005 to June 2018, highest monthly increase in the index was recorded in the month of July 2009 which was 7 Points.
As Dearness Allowance with effect from January 2019 applicable to Central Government Employees depends on Consumer Price Index from January 2018 to December 2018, extraordinary increase in CPI in one month may not impact much on DA from January 2019. However, if this inflationary trend continues, quantum of Dearness Allowance payable with effect from January 2019 will be at higher side
We have attempted to estimate the DA from January 2019 for Central Government Employees and Pensioners based on assumed Consumer Price Index for the months from August 2018 to December 2018.
