How to Calculate IDA (Industrial Dearness Allowance) for 2nd PRC
How to calculate IDA, Well, Calculation of PSU IDA rates is not really a tough job to do, and you should know that IDA rate revision is based on the All India Consumer Price Index Numbers.
Usually after second pay revision with effect from 01.01.2007, the base index has also been revised to 01.01.2007, which is 126.33, so to know the IDA increase rate, we will need to figure out the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers [CPI(IW)] for the previous three months.
Also, for the IDA revision w.e.f. 1st January, CPI numbers of September, November, December is required, and from 01/04, January, February and March CPI numbers required , where as 1st July of a year, the CPI of March, April, and May are required, and for IDA revision from 1st October, CPI of June, July and August are required, and so on, Once you have the average CPI of the last three months, you will need to use this below formula to calculate Industrial DA rates for PSU, and this formula is:
IDA Calculation Formula for 2nd PRC employee
- New IDA rate = (Average CPI – Base Index) * 100
- Base Index = 126.33
- Increase in IDA rate = New IDA rate – Old IDA rate
- For Example:
- If CPI for March 2020 is 326, April 2020 is 329 and May 2020 expecting is 334, and the average CPI is 329.66, then the calculation would be
- [(329.66 – 126.33) / 126.33] * 100 = 160.95(170)
- For Example:
Expecting IDA Rates from 01.10.2020 for 2nd PRC PSU Employees
| CPI Month | Index Number | Status | % of DA Increase from October 20 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mar20 | 330 | Expecting | |
| Apr20 | 330 | Expecting | |
| May20 | 330 | Expecting | -1.8 |
