100% D.A from January 2014 – Some Allowances and Advances Rise by 25%
100% D.A from January 2014 – Some Allowances and Advances Rise by 25% The Fifth Central Pay Commission had recommended uniform neutralization of DA at 100% to employees at all levels and increase in DA calculation too, according to the 12 monthly average of AICPIN for Industrial Workers (1982=100) as on 1st January 1996, of 306.33. The Linking Factor of 303.33 has now changed to 115.76. This was calculated as 4.63 in the 4th CPC. It was due to this change that the Dearness Allowance has increased in recent years. The 6th Pay Commission had promptly calculated it and said that the true impact of price rise and inflation would only then be known. It was also mentioned in the recommendations made by the 6th CPC that each time the Dearness Allowance touched 50%, certain Allowances and Advances should also be raised by 25%.
