Slab and rate calculation for DR of bank pensioners from Aug 2021 to Jan 2022:

  1. Jun 2021 AICPIN – 121.7 x 2.88 x 4.63 x 4.93 = 8000.39
  2. May 2021 AICPIN – 120.6 x 2.88 x 4.63 x 4.93 = 7928.07
  3. Apr 2021 AICPIN – 120.1 x 2.88 x 4.63 x 4.93 = 7895.20

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:
