Basic Pay (BP)                     – Rs.5000/-

Pay element @ 30% of BP – Rs.1500/-

New Basic Pay (Total)        – Rs.6500/-

Dearness Allowance (DA) – Rs.7735 (119% of New Basic Pay)

Leave Salary Per day          – 6500+7735/30 (New Basic Pay + DA/30)

DA has been calculated @ 119% as per prevailing rates and is variable as per rates applicable on that day the leave salary is calculated.

These instructions may be adhered to scrupulously and uniformly by all the Divisions/Units and payment of arrears, if any, may also be made accordingly.
