And based on the consecutive 3 months, means 1 quarter, calculation of average is done to find slabs, and then DA percentage rate, which may be more or less than the previous quarter DA rate.

As per 11th BPS, how to calculate slabs and DA of bank employees? What is the formula of slab and DA calculation of bank workmen and officers?

AICPIN calculation for slabs and DA rate of bankers:

  1. Jun 2022 AICPIN – 129.2 x 2.88 x 4.63 x 4.93 = 8493.43
  2. May 2022 AICPIN – 129 x 2.88 x 4.63 x 4.93 = 8480.28
  3. Apr 2022 AICPIN – 127.7 x 2.88 x 4.63 x 4.93 = 8394.82

In terms of 11th bipartite settlement BPS/Joint Notes, 6352 points of DA was merged with the ‘pay’ and DA rate was fixed at 0.07 % per DA slab. So, the calculation of Bank DA is:

  • Average of the quarter (Apr, May, Jun) = 8456
  • Number of DA slabs = (8456 – 6352) / 4 = 526 slabs
  • DA rate effective from 01.08.2022 = 36.82% (0.07 % of 526)

AICPIN calculation for slabs and DA rate of bankers:

  3. Apr 2022 AICPIN – 127.7 x 2.88 x 4.63 x 4.93 = 8394.82

In terms of X BPS/Joint Notes, 4440 points of DA was merged with the ‘pay’ and DA rate was fixed at 0.1 % per DA slab. So, the calculation of Bank DA is:
