DA from January 2015 will be 113% as AICPI-IW
for November 2014, remains at 253 for the 4th consecutive month
All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial
Workers (AICPI-IW) is at 253 for the past 4 months from August 2014 to November
2014.
This trend is in line with Scenario 1
discussed in our earlier article on estimation of Central Government Employees
DA from January 2015. While we have Actual AICPI for November 2014 now, which
is exactly the same as in Scenario 1, even for increase of this index up to 262
in December 2014, DA from January 2015 will be 113%
Scenario 2 and Scenario 3 discussed in the
previous article are unlikely as those were estimated on the basis of decreased
and increased AICPI-IW respectively for the month of November 2014
Consequently, DA from January 2015 applicable
to central government employees is estimated to be 113 %
