How is DA calculated for bank employees? (12th BPS)
Under the 12th Bipartite Settlement (effective 1 November 2022, signed 8 March 2024, valid till 31 October 2027), DA is calculated as:
DA % = Quarterly Average AICPIN (Base 2016 = 100) − 123.03
The link point of 123.03 is the CPI baseline above which DA is calculated. For every 0.01-point movement in the quarterly CPI average, DA changes by 0.01% of pay.

- Basic Pay
- Special Allowance
- Professional Qualification Pay (PQP) / Graduation Pay
