Dearness allowance (D.A.) is part of a person's salary. D.A. is calculated as a percent of the basic salary.

This amount is then added to the basic salary along with house rent allowance to get the total salary.

Rates vary as per rural/urban areas etc.

Pensioners and the family pensioners are granted D.A. against the price rise.

During the reemployment under Central or State Government, Government undertaking, Autonomous body or Local Body, they are not eligible to draw D.A., in which case D.A. is allowed in addition to fixed pay or time scale.

In other cases of reemployment D.A. is allowed subject to the limit of emoluments last drawn. D.A. is not allowed while the pensioner stays abroad and also in case of employees absorbed in public undertaking or bodies.

If the pensioner stayed abroad without reemployment, he shall be eligible to draw D.A. on pension.
