Expected DA/DR from July 2026 @ 63%– All-India CPI-IW for the month of April, 2026 issued by Labour Bureau on 29.05.2026
The All-India CPI-IW for April 2026 increased by 0.8 points and stands at 149.9 (one hundred forty-nine point nine). This change in the CPI-IW marks the progress of the calculation for the expected DA/DR from July 2026 for Central Government employees and pensioners, with the calculation point reaching 65.54% in the fourth month. The CPI-IW indices for the remaining two months will determine the exact DA/DR figure for July 2026.
If the CPI-IW remains stationary (no change) for the next two months, the DA/DR from July 2026 is projected to reach 63%.
अप्रैल 2026 के लिए अखिल भारतीय औद्योगिक श्रमिक उपभोक्ता मूल्य सूचकांक (CPI-IW) में 0.8 अंक की वृद्धि हुई है और यह 149.9 (एक सौ उनचास दशमलव नौ) पर पहुँच गया है। CPI-IW में यह परिवर्तन केंद्र सरकार के कर्मचारियों और पेंशनभोगियों के लिए जुलाई 2026 से अपेक्षित महंगाई भत्ते/महंगाई राहत (DA/DR) की गणना की प्रगति को दर्शाता है, जिसमें चौथे महीने में गणना बिंदु 65.54% तक पहुँच गया है। शेष दो महीनों के CPI-IW सूचकांक जुलाई 2026 के लिए सटीक DA/DR के आंकड़े का निर्धारण करेंगे।
यदि अगले दो महीनों तक CPI-IW स्थिर रहता है (कोई परिवर्तन नहीं होता है), तो जुलाई 2026 से DA/DR के 63% तक पहुँचने का अनुमान है।
The DA/DR from July, 2026 table is as follows:-
