Base year 2201=100 is wrong. Every one copied this information from one source, and it should be read as 2001=100.
Already we are getting 16% it means 6% increase.

I think this rate of increasing in DA is not sufficient for any one because it is much less than the increase in the price of all daily uses things.But what can we do we have to think or we have to decrease our a few needs.

6% da is a good hike but the govt should tax the DA after all it is a compensation for the hike in food articles and etc.if the govt can control prices we dont want any da at all

As per labourbureau.nic.in, the av price indeax for the year 2008 is 141.66.multiply it with 4.63 & divide by 306.4, we get
2.14 ie 11% DA in the old scale. The Da in the new scale will be 11*1.5/2.26 ie 7%.

As per latest data on CPI upto June’09, the 12 monthly average has gone up by 6%, so DA increase should be 6%.
August 6th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
As per CPI data upto June’09, the 12 monthly average has gone up by 6pts. and therefore the DA increase should be 6%.

govt. employees ka DA 1% bhadaba chahiya because govt. par bahut load parega. eska garib admi per asar parega.because govt. garib admi ko koi help nanhi de sakegi. govt. employee ko to pahle hi bahoot salary mil rahi hai.
govt. ko des ke garib admi ki taraph bhi dekhana chahiya.

Expected DA which is shown above is not sufficient govt has to take big decision on this topic and also for each and every welfare.
August 28th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
As a govt employee i want to say that the govt have to do more for people welfare before seeing the inflation rate
September 4th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
In my view presently the prices of every commodity are running towards sky unchecked and it will be better for Govt. to check the prices as DA can not solve the problem. Life is getting difficult for common man including govt. employees on lower and medium level. Also DA should not be taxed upto a certain level.
September 7th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Please tell me what is the DA for july 2009.
