Dear Sirs,
Dearness Allowance for Workmen and Officer Employees in banks for the months of August, September & October 2019 under X BPS/ Joint Note dated 25.5.2015

The average CPI of the above is 7167.33 and accordingly the number of DA slabs is 681 (7167.33-4440 = 2723.33/4= 681 slabs). In the last Quarter, payment of DA was at 645 slabs. Hence, there is an increase in DA slabs of 36, i.e. 681 slabs for payment of DA for the quarter August, September & October 2019.
