For CPSEs following the 1987 pay scale, the increase in IDA works out to Rs 356 per point shift (for an increase of 178 points), resulting in a payable DA of Rs 17,812.

The order said that the payment on account of dearness allowance involving fractions of 50 paise and above may be rounded off to the next higher rupee and the fractions of less than 50 paise may be ignored.

All administrative ministries and departments have been instructed to inform CPSEs under their purview to implement the revised rates accordingly. The revision aims to offset inflationary pressure and maintain the real income of CPSE employees.
