Probable Central D.A. from 1st January 2018
With
the increase of AICPIN number for October 2017 by two point, everybody is
waiting to know the probable DA from 1.1.2018.
As we know that data for November and December is required tocalculate the exact amount of D.A. payable from 1st January. These data will be made available on 31st December and 31st January.
If it is assumed that current level (287) is maintained in the next two months, there will be an increase of 2% D.A. / D.R. payable from 1st January 2018. The position can change only if the number drastically increases or decreases in the next two months.
So it can be predicted that there will be an increase of 3% D.A. / D.R. from 1st January 2018.
