Dear Sir/ Madam,
Dearness Allowance for Workmen and Officer Employees in banks for the months of August, September, and October 2025 under XI BPS/ 8TH Joint Note dated 11.11.2020
The confirmed All India Average Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (Base 1960= 100) for the quarter ended June 2025 are as follows:-
| April 2025 | 9433.49 |
| May 2025 | 9466.36 |
| June 2025 | 9532.10 |
The average CPI of the above is 9480.00 and accordingly the number of DA slabs are 782 (9480 – 6352 = 3128/4 = 782 slabs). The last average quarterly CPI was 782. Hence, there is no change in DA for the months of August, September, and October 2025.
In terms of clause 7 of the 11th Bipartite Settlement dated 11.11.2020 and clause 3 of the Joint Note dated 11.11.2020, the rate of Dearness Allowance payable to Workmen and Officer employees for the months of August, September, and October 2025 shall be 54.74% of ‘pay’. While arriving at dearness allowance payable, decimals from third place may please be ignored.
Yours faithfully,
