How to calculate DR of bank pensioners? What is the formula of DR calculation of bank pensioners? Example:

Slab and rate calculation for DR of bank pensioners from Aug 2022 to Jan 2023:

  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

For those pensioners, who retired after 01.11.2017, 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 DR is:

  • Average of the quarter (Apr, May, Jun) = 8456
  • Number of DA slabs = (8456 – 6352) / 4 = 526 slabs
  • DA, DR rate effective from 01.08.2022 = 36.82% (0.07 % of 526), formula applicable for those pensioners, who retired on or after 01.11.2017.
