Expected DA/DR from Jan, 2025 @55% or @56%– All-India CPI-IW for the month of November, 2024 issued by Labour Bureau on 06.01.2025
The All-India CPI-IW (Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers) for November 2024 remained stationary at 144.5 points. This stability in the CPI-IW suggests a 3% increase in the existing rate, with the Dearness Allowance (DA) and Dearness Relief (DR) expected to reach 56% for Central Government employees and pensioners, effective from January 2025.
The absence of any increase or decrease in the CPI-IW this month creates two possible scenarios for the DA/DR adjustment from January 2025. If the CPI-IW index records a decrease of 0.6 points or more in the next month, the DA/DR rate from January 2025 will likely be 55%. Conversely, if the change is an increase or a decrease of up to 0.5 points, the expected DA/DR rate will remain at 56%.
Thus, a minor decrease of 0.6 points in next month’s CPI-IW could reduce the expected DA/DR rate to 55%. However, any positive change in the CPI-IW index in the next month would likely confirm the DA/DR rate at 56% from January 2025.
The DA/DR from Jan, 2025 table is as follows:-
