Calculation Guide

How Bihar DA Arrears are Estimated

When a revised DA rate becomes effective from an earlier date, the difference between the old DA amount and revised DA amount may need to be calculated for the applicable period.

Old DA = Basic Pay × Old DA Rate ÷ 100
New DA = Basic Pay × New DA Rate ÷ 100
Monthly Difference = New DA − Old DA
Estimated Arrears = Monthly Difference × Number of Months
Example

DA Arrears Calculation Example

Basic Pay₹40,000
Old DA58%
New DA60%
Period4 Months

Old DA: ₹23,200

New DA: ₹24,000

Monthly Difference: ₹800

This is only a simple example. If Basic Pay changed during the arrears period, each salary period should be calculated separately.

Important

Basic Pay Can Change During the Arrears Period

This calculator assumes the same Basic Pay for every month entered. Actual arrears may differ if Basic Pay changed because of annual increment, promotion, pay fixation, retirement or another service event.

In such cases, calculate each Basic Pay period separately and add the results.

Increment

Basic Pay Revision

Annual increment during the arrears period can change the DA amount payable for later months.

Promotion

Pay Fixation

Promotion or revised pay fixation can require the arrears period to be split into different Basic Pay amounts.

Government Order

Payment Conditions

Effective date and actual payment instructions depend on the relevant Bihar Government order.

Official Verification

Verify the Arrears Order

Check the applicable Bihar Finance Department notification for the revised rate, effective date, eligibility and payment instructions before treating any estimate as payable arrears.
