Expected DA/DR from Jul, 2025 @ 58% – All-India CPI-IW for the month of May, 2025 issued by Labour Bureau dated 30.06.2025
The All-India CPI-IW for May 2025 increased by 0.5 points and stood at 144.0 (one hundred forty-four). Following three consecutive months of decline, this rise in the last three 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 58.08% for the fifth month. The CPI-IW index for the remaining one month 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 steps.
अखिल भारतीय CPI-IW मई 2025 के लिए 0.5 अंक बढ़कर 144.0 (एक सौ चौवालिस) पर पहुंच गया। तीन लगातार महीनों की गिरावट के बाद, CPI-IW के पिछले तीन महीनों में इस वृद्धि से संकेत मिलता है कि जुलाई 2025 से केंद्रीय सरकारी कर्मचारियों और पेंशनरों के लिए अपेक्षित महंगाई भत्ता/महंगाई राहत (DA/DR) पांचवें महीने के लिए 58.08% होने की संभावना है। शेष एक महीने के लिए CPI-IW सूचकांक जुलाई 2025 के लिए DA/DR का निश्चित आंकड़ा प्रदान करेगा। वर्तमान में, DA/DR में आधे वार्षिक वृद्धि की अपेक्षाओं के साथ, गणना प्रक्रिया अपने अंतिम चरण में है।
