1. There has been a widespread media reporting that the Central Government Employees/ Pensioners are entitled to get DA / DR of 27% or 28% with effect from 01.01 2021. This report, to my mind, appears to be baseless.
2. BASIC DATA: (i) The All-India CPI-IW for November, 2020 stood at 119.90 with base 100 as on January 01, 2016 as 100. Assuming that it may rise by 0.5% during the month of December 2020, the AICPI-IW may rise to 120.40 or say 120.
(ii) The date of implementation of 7th CPC was 01.01.2016.
3. (a) DA/DR PAYABLE WITH EFFECT 01.01.2021: 20%. The decision of the Central Government initially enhancing DA/DR from 17% to 21% with effect from 01.01.2020 and later freezing the increase might be based on wrong data.
[Explanation: If cost of certain consumer goods costing Rs.100/- as on 01.01.1916 cost Rs.120 as on 01.01.2021, the price rise is just 20% and not 27% or 28% ]
