Is the increased DA (twice in a year) payable to the employee getting lower than the DA announced, or does it have to be paid irrespective of the DA he/she is receiving? Is there a limit to whom it has to be paid.

Dear Vivek,
The government declares DA twice a year (in Jan & Jul) for government employees and pensioners, and it is not applicable for any private companies. For private companies, it will be considered once during the appraisal time. For worker-level wages, the increase will be calculated by the Cost Price Index (CPI) Points as per the Minimum Wages Act by the appropriate government.
If you provide more clarity in your query, our members will respond with the correct information.

Thank you, Bhaskar.
Let me clarify my query by taking two employee Basic and Dearness Allowance bifurcation only:
Case-1: Basic 2800/- and DA is 1500/-
Case-2: Basic=2800 and DA is 2000/-
Now, suppose as per Labour Law, the minimum DA for any employee has been revised from 1500 to 1700, i.e., an increase of Rs. 200.
Will this increase of Rs. 200 in DA be payable to both the employees or to Case 1 employee only as he was getting lower DA as per the revised DA.

Dear Vivek,
Now, the government has declared DA for government employees, and it is not applicable to any companies or workers. For workers, there will not be any increase in DA. The wages for workers will be governed by the Minimum Wages Act, which is fixed by the appropriate government, taking into account the Cost of Living Index of the workplace (Zone I or A (City or Urban), Zone II or B (Semi-Urban), and Zone III or C (Rural)) for Unskilled, Semiskilled, Skilled, and High-skilled categories.
The increase will be communicated by the government from time to time, and we have to implement the same by increasing the wages. Whatever the government fixes as wages includes Basic and DA, but we should not bifurcate for the purpose of PF deduction.

Dear Bhasker,
I couldn't understand what you wanted to say when you mentioned, "But we should not bifurcate for the purpose of PF Deduction." For PF, we consider basic + DA total. That's why I have mentioned two cases.
