We have to take the assumed value for CPI-IW only for June 2015. It is found that even for increase of 6 points in June 2015 from the existing CPI of 258, DA from July 2015 will be 119%. Only when CPI is increased to 265 from the existing level of 258, DA from July 2015 will be increased to 120%.

DA from Jul 2015	[(252+253+253+253+253+253+254+253+254+256+258+265)-115.76]*100/115.76
=	120% (7% increase in DA from July 2015)

On the lower side, we found that only when Consumer Price Index fell down to 250 i.e when CPI (IW) is getting decreased by 8 Points, Central Government Employees DA from July 2015 will be fixed at 118%.

DA from Jul 2015	[(252+253+253+253+253+253+254+253+254+256+258+250)-115.76]*100/115.76
=	118 % (5% increase in DA from July 2015)

From the above, it is clear that chances for decrease of 8 Points in CPI in a single month  or increase of 7 points in same period are very remote. So, we can very well conclude that DA from July 2015 will be 119%.
