About DA and the 8th CPC
DA compensates for inflation and is revised twice a year based on AICPI-IW. When a Pay Commission revises basic pay, accumulated DA is typically absorbed into the new basic pay. In 2016, 14.29% of DA was merged before the 2.57 fitment factor was applied, and DA then restarted at 0%. Expect a similar reset after the 8th CPC is notified.
