What is the formula for calculating DA for central government employees?
Between January and July, the Dearness Allowance is amended twice a year. The Dearness Allowance is computed by multiplying the current Dearness Allowance rate by the central government employee’s base wage. For example, a basic salary of Rs. 18,000 multiplied by 21% becomes Rs. 3780.

What is the formula for calculating DA for Central Government employees?
Dearness Allowance = (Average AICPIN over the previous 12 months – Fitment Factor) x 100 / Fitment Factor
