Hello everyone

Good Day!

I’m working in a private Leather Tannery situated in Tamil Nadu.
Kindly refer the attached Go. (2D) No.98 Dt. 08-11-2022.
It is mentioned, for calculation of dearness allowance, the base shall be taken as 176 (base 2001=100) being the average of All India Consumer Price Index Number for the year 2010. For further raise of one point over and above 176 points, an increase of ₹.1.12 (Rupee one and twelve paise only) shall be paid per day.
I have collected some of data from website
The current base year for the CPI series is 2012. However, the base year for the CPI (Industrial Workers) series is 2016 (w.e.f Sep’2020).
The link factor for the new series (2016=100) to the old series (2001=100) is 2.88
Average CPI-IW for the year 2023 is 134.73 (Refer attached cpi data).
How to calculate DA based on the G.O? What is the DA amount ?

Thanks!

Best Regards
Shameem

If you do not have CPI of base 2001=100, and the available data is pertaining to 2016=100 and the linking factor is 2.88, multiply the CPI of 2016 base, ie, 134.72 by 2.88 to get the CPI of 2001 base. Then it will be Rs 387.99. Now if the VDA is Rs 1.12 per point over 176 points, then find out how many points will earn DA. That is 387.99 minus 176, equal to 211.99. The DA per day will be 211.99 multiplied by 1.12 or Rs 190. 87 or Rs 191.

(The Minimum Wages as applicable to Tanneries is under revision and the one attached by you is only a preliminary notification. When the revised VDA for all scheduled industries was released, the DA for Tanneries and leather manufacturers were not included but a mention was given in the GO dated 27-02-2023 that the DA will be notified along with revised minimum wages.)
