DA CALCULATION SHEET DA CALCULATION SHEET WITH INPUTS OF CPI(I-W) BASE YEAR 2001=100 We are proud to be the first to formulate the DA Table. We are aware of the fact that a number of you are very keen on learning how to calculate the Dearness Allowance. Hence, we created this table. At a stage, we ourselves were surprised by the response that it had received. Let us see, in detail, how DA is calculated. The calculations are very easy.

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.

Brief note on the discussions took place in the 30th meeting of the National Council, held on 23.04.2014 - BSNL Employees Union (1) Lesser standards of evaluation for the JAO and JTO exams. The Staff Side made a strong appeal to the Management, to review the JAO and JTO exams that had taken place, by adopting lesser standards of evaluation. The vehement, lengthy and detailed arguments of the Staff Side to grant grace marks, were however not accepted by the Management. As regards taking remedial measures in respect of question papers with discrepancies, it was agreed that the Recruitment Branch will issue a letter to all the CGMs, as has been done in the case of MP and AP circles, for taking necessary remedial action. (2) Regular promotion to officiating JTOs. Management replied that a provision is already made in the New Recruitment Rules for the absorption of all the 1500 officiating JTOs. The RR will soon go for the approval of the Management Committee.
