AICPIN Points on the Ascent Again! Previously, it was announced that the AICPIN points for the month of April will be released on the 30th. But the Labour Bureau and PIB didn’t release the statistics of AICPIN on that day. Instead of releasing the detailed information transparently in their official websites, the departments chose to unveil the number with an air of secrecy. We had managed to find the number and had published them. Countless people had benefitted from it (Press Release given below).

Expected Dearness Allowance from July 2014 for Central Govt Employees and Pensioners... Expected DA- Status, as of March 2014 Expected Dearness Allowance from July 2014 : This time there is a considerable slackening in the pace of the expected DA. It looks as if there are plenty of reasons for it. As of March, the AICPIN has increased by one point and is at 239. The rapid increase in Consumer Price Index (IW) has been brought under control now. Election is believed to be one of the reasons for it. Since price rise and inflation are under control, there is not much of an increase in All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers. With a fall in the prices of essential commodities, the AICPIN points have actually reduced.

Expected DA from July 14 - Looks like the curiosity surrounding the expected DA is fast receding..! One of the possible reasons for the dampening interest could be the fact that unlike last time, there is not going to be a DA hike. Although it is very well known that the hike is based on price rise and inflation, it probably feels to them as if something was lost. This time there is no double-digit increase. It is only going to be a single-digit hike. At the most, one can expect an increase of 7%. That too is not for sure. All that depends on the soon to be announced AICPIN points for balance months. After announcing the second additional DA for the year 2014, there are only two instalments left. With the instalments of January 2015 and July 2015, the 6th CPC comes to a close. The next additional DA will be based on the 7th CPC.

There are plenty of advantages and benefits in giving your own interpretation on a topic that millions are interested in. It helps a great deal in creating consensus opinion.

The contribution of social media in the current protests being conducted by LDCs and UDCs is worth taking note of. There is no denial to the fact that revolutionary new opinions expressed on social media have been useful for many in many different ways. There is also no doubt in the fact that members of the unions, associations, and federations continue to watch the social media. You can bet that in the near future almost all these leaders of unions and associ...

EXPECTED DEARNESS ALLOWANCE FROM JULY 2014 This is the first thing that all Central and State Government employees alike would eagerly like to know! We are the first to calculate and write about ‘Expected DA’. We have been meticulously doing this task for the past five years. Without fail, we publish all the relevant information pertaining to DA, which is given twice every year (January 1, and July 1). It is our practice to calculate these numbers on the basis of certain indicators. Dearness Allowance is calculated entirely on the basis of price rise and inflation. Of utmost importance for the calculation is the AICPIN (All India Consumer Price Index). Labour Bureau, a Government agency releases these figures each month.

EXPECTED DA FROM JULY 2014 CALCULATOR We have been waiting eagerly for the announcement of 50% DA merger and interim relief for quite some time now, but still no announcement about it has come out! This is really disappointing. As you know, we got the 50% DA merger(5th paycommission) and interim relief(2nd to 4th paycommission) in the last pay commission to compensate for the increased commodity prices and economic burden. So our present expectation cannot be unreasonable. We only get our DA to manage the price rise of essential commodities. As of now it has reached 100% raise and some allowances are expected to rise only by 25%. When this is the case, calculating the DA rise in the coming July 2014 is somewhat difficult. As of now, the announcement of only one month’s AICPIN has come out. In the coming five months, we will get a complete picture of the AICPIN value. Only after that we can calculate the DA rise accurately.
