Wage Revision and Dearness Allowance (DA) Calculation
Considering the living cost and all, wage revision is being done once in five or ten years. However, inflation rises day by day, and subsequently, the value of money decreases. To compensate for this, we have to wait until the next wage revision, which is not practical. That is why the DA is introduced.
The devaluation of money can be assessed through the Wholesale Price Index and the All India Consumer Price Index, etc. The difference between these two is that the price variation of all commodities is taken into account for the Wholesale Price Index. However, the All India Consumer Price Index is based on a particular consumer, viz. Industrial Worker, and even on some specified commodities and services called the "Basket of Goods."
Based on the All India Consumer Price Index, Industrial DA is paid; it varies in quarters commencing from January, April, July, and October. For January, the AICPI will be the average of the previous September, October, and November. Similarly, for April, it will be December, January, and February; for July, it will be March, April, and May; and for October, it will be June, July, and August, respectively.
When the money devaluation is fully compensated, it is called full DA neutralization. The formula for full DA neutralization is (Total points - Base points) / Base points (in percentage). The AICPI was introduced in India in 1960 and revised in 1982 and 2001. AICPI of 2001 x 4.63 gives us AICPI of 1982, and AICPI of 1982 x 4.93 gives us AICPI of 1960. For DA calculation, AICPI of 1960 is accepted as the base.
Now in India, mainly two-term wage settlements exist: Wage Settlements of 1.1.1997 and 1.1.2007. The base point in 1.1.1997 is 1708, and in 1.1.2007 is 2884.
I shall quote one example, i.e., the calculation of AICPI for July '10. This is equivalent to the average of the previous March, April, and May, which is recorded as 170, 170, and 172 (Base year 2001). Multiply with 4.63 and round, we get 787, 787, and 796 (Base year 1982). Multiply by 4.93 and round, we get 3880, 3880, and 3924 (Base year 1960). Find the average of these 3 and round, we get 3895.
DA for 1.1.97 scale: Total points - 3895, Base points - 1708, Total - Base = 2187. % is 2187/1708 x 100 = 128.0 (Correct to one decimal).
DA for 1.1.2007 scale: Total points - 3895, Base points - 2884, Total - Base = 1011. % is 1011/2884 x 100 = 35.1 (Correct to one decimal).
I shall insert an Excel sheet for IDA calculation w.e.f 1.10.2008. You may extend the rows further (as necessary) and just enter the 3 indexes towards the year 2001 in green color columns. The results will appear in yellow, and red is used for static information.
