Notes : 1.AICPI for industrial worker Base 2001 is available from Jan. 2006 onward only, therefore as recommended by pay commission back data from July 2005 to Dec 2005 is generated on 2001 series by carryingout back calculation on 1982 series ( by dividing linking factor 4.63) for calculating the 12 monthly average from July 2005 to June 2006 ( for applicable DA as on 01.07.2006). 2. AICPI 1982 series and 2001 series the 12 monthly average index is coming almost same but since in the gazzeted notification base index as on 01.01.2006 is taken as 115.76 by using linking factor 4.63 on AICPI 182 series index 536 as 0n 01.01.2006 insteed of 116 as given in pay commission report errta, the 12 % DA, effective from 01.01.2008 is now coming 13 %. This is the only change coming in DA calculation after gazzetted notification.
