Expected DA/DR from Jul, 2025 – All-India CPI-IW for the month of Apr, 2025

 Expected DA/DR from Jul, 2025 – All-India CPI-IW for the month of Apr, 2025

The All-India CPI-IW for April 2025 increased by 0.5 points, standing at 143.5 (one hundred forty-three point five). Following three consecutive months of decline, this rise in the last two months of the CPI-IW indicates that the expected Dearness Allowance/Dearness Relief (DA/DR) for Central Government Employees and Pensioners from July 2025 is projected to be 57.95% for the fourth month. The CPI-IW index for the remaining two months will provide the definitive figure for DA/DR for July 2025. Currently, the calculation process, along with expectations for the half-yearly increase in DA/DR, is in its final two steps.

अप्रैल 2025 के लिए अखिल भारतीय CPI-IW में 0.5 अंक की वृद्धि हुई, जो 143.5 (एक सौ तिरपन दशमलव पांच) पर खड़ा है। लगातार तीन महीनों की गिरावट के बाद, CPI-IW में पिछले दो महीनों में हुई इस वृद्धि से यह संकेत मिलता है कि जुलाई 2025 से केंद्रीय सरकारी कर्मचारियों और पेंशनरों के लिए अपेक्षित महंगाई भत्ता/महंगाई राहत (DA/DR) चौथे महीने के लिए 57.95% होने का अनुमान है। शेष दो महीनों के लिए CPI-IW सूचकांक जुलाई 2025 के लिए DA/DR का निश्चित आंकड़ा प्रदान करेगा। वर्तमान में, DA/DR में आधी वार्षिक वृद्धि की अपेक्षाओं के साथ-साथ गणना प्रक्रिया अपने अंतिम दो चरणों में है।
