All India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers – CPI(IW)
for November 2018 remained stationary at 302, based on the DA
Calculation formula the DA as on November 2018 is 12.31%.
AICPIN for December 2018 is expected on 31st January 2019, even if the
AICPIN increase or reduce by 5 points, the DA for the January 2019 will
remain at 12%, which means increase of 3% DA is confirmed.
In case AICPIN for the month of December 2018 increase by 6 points i.e
308, then the DA will be 13.01%, so chances to get 4% increase in DA
from Jan 2019. but very less chance to get this increase in Dec 2018.
However as per the Index value 3 percent DA hike is confirmed, but we have to wait for the Dec 2018 AICPIN data to finalize.
