The calculators provided hereuner are updated on 04.11.24 on the basis of Govt declared CPI for the month of Jul'24 to Sep'24 with the assumptions of CPI for the next 3 months. Govt has changed the Consumer Price base year from 2001=100 to 2016=100 for Industrial Workers from Oct 2020
Please note - The pensioner's DA slabs that would become payable for the period from Feb'25 to Jul'25 will be computed on the DA that becomes payable to working bank employees in Nov'24 + the DA would become payable in Feb'25 to them (in other words CPI released / to be releases for the months of Jul'24 to Dec'24)
We are providing calculations of expected DA to be payable from Feb'25 below on 2 assumptions in 2 calculators as mentioned hereunder. In view of ongoing recent rise in price of dilay need items / commodities it is too early to predict the actual inflation or CPI index for the coming months. However keeping in view of the present situation the assumptions are made as under for the next 5 months
(the increase of CPI points are much higher to be expected in coming months in view of recent increase in prices of generally each and every daily needs items, however on a conservative approach we assume as below on seeing the CPI for the month of April 2021)
Pensioners expected DA payable from Feb'25 to Jul'25 - calculated here on the basis of CPI released + assumptions of CPI to be released for the remaining months :-
DA released for bankers in Nov'22 (i.e. 30 slabs) + computation of expected DA on the basis of CPI releasd / to be released for the months of Oct'22-Dec'22
1. On assumptions that there would be an increase of average of 0.60 points each month in CPI in the next 3 months, as it is too early to premume the CPI for the these months at this stage keeping in view of the present geopolitical situation and the rate of inflation is being faced by us. It is a big concern that there is on going regular rise in prices of commonly required items / commodities of daily needs whcih is making month over month difficult to survise falling interest income of pensioners on their deposits. On this assumption of CPI the expected (tentatively) increase in DA Slabs would come to 57 slabs from Feb'25 for the retirees upto 31.10.2022 and for the retirees after 01.11.2022 it comes to 20.65%
