T
he above indices from Jan 2012 to Sept 2012, require special mention
here as Calculation of expected Dearness Allowance for central
government employees, Central Government Pensioners and central
government family pensioners with effect from 1st January 2013 need
these indices.
The expected Dearness Allowance with effect from January 2013
To calculate Dearness Allowance with effect from January 2013 we require AICPI (IW) for previous 12 months.
Dearness Allowance with effect from 1st January every year | (Average of AICPI-IW for the months from January to December of previous year – 115.76)X100/115.76 |
Dearness Allowance with effect from 1st July every year | (Average of AICPI-IW for the months from July of previous year to June of this year – 115.76)X100/115.76 |
115.76 is a factor which converts 1982 series AICPI (IW) (Base 1982=100), which was applicable prior to 6CPC to 2001 series AICPIW (Base 2001=100). In turn, This is arrived at by dividing the 1982 series AICPI by a linking factor which is 4.63 (536/4.63=115.76) |
To estimate the Dearness Allowance that Central Government Staffs and Pensioners will be getting with effect from 1st January 2013 based
on AICPI-IW, we will consider following 4 Scenario
Scenario 1 (No Inflation) | Scenario 2 ( Inflation contained) | Scenario 3(Same inflationary trend) | Scenario 4 (More inflation) | |
Month | AICPI-IW | AICPI-IW | AICPI-IW | AICPI-IW |
Jan 2012 | 198 | 198 | 198 | 198 |
Feb 2012 | 199 | 199 | 199 | 199 |
Mar 2012 | 201 | 201 | 201 | 201 |
Apr 2012 | 205 | 205 | 205 | 205 |
May 2012 | 206 | 206 | 206 | 206 |
Jun 2012 | 208 | 208 | 208 | 208 |
Jul 2012 | 212 | 212 | 212 | 212 |
Aug 2012 | 214 | 214 | 214 | 214 |
Sep 2012 | 215 | 215 | 215 | 215 |
Oct 2012 (expected) | 215 | 210 | 216 | 217 |
Nov 2012 (expected) | 215 | 210 | 217 | 219 |
Dec 2012 (expected) | 215 | 210 | 218 | 221 |
Expected DA | 80% | 79% | 80% | 81% |
Scenario 1:
If we assume that there is no inflation from October 2012 and the
AICPI-IW remains at 215 for the months of October, November and December
2012, the expected DA for the Central Government Employees and
pensioners will be 80%, which is 8% more than the present 72%
Scenario 2:
If we assume that the inflation will be contained in the coming
months and consequently AICPI-IW will be 210 for months from October
2012 to December 2012. Then based on following indices from January 2012
to December 2012 we get estimated DA of 79% with effect from January
2013, which is 7% more than the present 72%
Scenario 3:
If we assume that the nominal inflationary trend to continue in the
coming months and consequently AICPI – IW increases 1 point each for
the months from October 2012 to December 2012. Then expected DA will be
80% with effect from 1st January 2013, which is 8% more than the present
72%
Scenario 4:
If assume that inflation is more in the coming months and
consequently AICPI-IW for the months from October 2012 to December 2012
increased two points each. Then expected DA will be 81% with effect from
1st January 2013, which is 9% more than the present 72%.
we may get DA of 80% with effect from 1st January 2012 if we have
same inflationary trend continues or even if we have no further
inflation in the coming months:
Based on the pattern we assume the chances for likely happening of
scenario 1 and 3 are more. So, we may get DA of 80% with effect from 1st
January 2012. The possibility of happening of scenario 4 is very less
but we can not overrule the same in this inflationary trend. In that
case we may get an additional DA of 9% with effect from 1st January
2013.
