D.A. is as under:-
1) The revised Basic Pay is linked with Bombay Consumer Price Index (1934
series) and thereafter for every Rise / Fall of 7 points in BCP Index the D.A. is being
paid at the rate of 0.115% to 0.100% of the proposed Basic Pay.
Existing Basic Pay Rate of D.A.
Rs.3550/- to Rs.4500/- 0.115% 3550 x 0.115% = 4.08
Rs.4501/- to Rs.5500/- 0.110% subject to minimum
