Frequently asked questions
How often does DA change?
Central government DA is typically revised twice a year (January and July), based on inflation data. Always use the rate from your latest official pay circular.
Does this apply to private-sector salaries?
DA as a distinct component is mainly used in government, PSU and some organised-sector jobs. Most private-sector CTC structures don't break it out separately.
