The central government revises the salary for industrial workers on the basis of the All India Consumer Price Index. The central government assesses inflation every 6 months and on this basis the increase in dearness allowance is announced. It is known that dearness allowance is effective from January 1 or July 1. But often it is announced only after two or three months. For the increase in dearness allowance of January 2025, the government will calculate on the basis of July-December 2024 data.
