EXPECTED DA RISE FROM JULY 2015 (1-7-2015) FOR CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES

                    Now that 6% D.A. rise is ESTABLISHED for Central Govt.employees w.e.f. 1-1-2015 after declaration of All India Consumers price index AICPIN for December 2014, the estimation for rise in D.A. w.e.f. 1-7-2015 is a topic of hot discussion.
          Presently, AICPIN for December 2014 is declare which remained stationary  at 253 points.Thus with present scenario, the estimation of DA rise w.e.f. 1-7-2015 has become a complex exercise. For this purpose, we would consider folowing cases:

CASE-I:  There is no change in AICPIN for next 6 months : 

         Let us assume that for next 6 months i.e. January 2015 to June 2015, the AICPIN neither rises nor declines and remains constant at 253 points for all these months. The calculation of DA rise in this case indicates that, the DA rise would be 5% w.e.f. 1-7-2015.

CASE-II:  The AICPIN increases by one point every month for next 6 months:

The calculation of DA rise in this case  indicates that the DA rise would be 7% w.e.f. 1-7-2015.

CASE-III:  The AICPIN increases by TWO points every month for next 6 months:

The calculation of DA rise in this case  indicates that the DA rise would be 8% w.e.f. 1-7-2015.

CASE-IV:  The AICPIN increases alternatively by TWO points  and ONE point every month for next 6 months: 

The calculation of DA rise in this case  indicates that the DA rise would be 7% w.e.f. 1-7-2015.

CASE-V:  The AICPIN increases alternatively by ONE points  and TWO points every month for next 6 months: 

The calculation of DA rise in this case  indicates that the DA rise would be 7% w.e.f. 1-7-2015.

CASE-VI:  The AICPIN increases  by ONE,TWO AND THREE  points  respectively  for FIRST 3 MONTHS and again by ONE,TWO AND THREE  points  respectively for NEXT 3 MONTHS:

Let AICPIN increases to 254 points forJanuary 2015, 256 points for Februaryt 2015 and 259 points for March 2015. Then AICPIN rises to 260 points for April 2015, 262 points for May 2015 and 265 points for June 2015.
The calculation of DA rise in this case  indicates that the DA rise would be 8% w.e.f. 1-7-2015.

CASE-VII:  The AICPIN increases by THREE points every month for next 6 months::

The calculation of DA rise in this case indicates that the DA rise would be 10% w.e.f. 1-7-2015.

CONCLUSION:  By analysing above different situatios, we can conclude that minimum DA rise may be 5% and maximum 10% w.e.f. JULY 2015.  However effect of  decline in AICPIN is not considered at this stage.We will discuss the same also whenever such situation arises.

http://globalemployeesforum.blogspot.in/2014/07/7-da-rise-confirmed-from-july-2014-for.html


The AICPIN  for the month of MAY 2014 is declared by central government of India . There is increase by TWO points in AICPIN and pegged at 244 points Thus with present scenario, the estimation of DA rise w.e.f. 1-7-2014 i.e. July 2014 is further reviewed with the help of following cases:

CASE-I:  There is no change in AICPIN for the month of JUNE 2014.  

         Let us assume that for June 2014, the AICPIN neither rises nor declines and remains constant at 244 points for June 204.  In this case, the DA rise would be 7% w.e.f. 1-7-2014.

CASE-II:  The AICPIN increases by one point to 12 poins  for the month of   JUNE 2014.  

 In this case, the DA rise would remain at 7% w.e.f. 1-7-2014.

CASE-III:  The AICPIN increases by Thitreen (13) points the month of JUNE 2014. (which is more unlikely)  

 In this case, the DA rise would be8% w.e.f. 1-7-2014. But practically, this much steep rise in AICPIN in a single month is most unlikely.

CASE-IV:  The AICPIN declines  by ONE point for the month of JUNE 2014.  

In this case, the DA rise would be 7% w.e.f. 1-7-2014.

CASE-V:  The AICPIN declines  by TWO points  for the month of JUNE 2014 .  

 In this case, the DA rise would be 6% w.e.f. 1-7-2014.

CONCLUSION:  By analysing above different situations, we can conclude that minimum DA rise may be 6% and maximum 7% w.e.f. July 2014. The maximum possibility is 7% rise. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REACH 8% RISE.  The final position would be intimated after declaration of AICPIN for the month ofJune 2014, . However  from present scenerio, 7% DA rise is most likely w.e.f. July 2014.
