How West Bengal DA Arrears are Calculated
A simplified DA arrears estimate can be calculated by finding the difference between the revised DA rate and the earlier DA rate, applying that difference to Basic Pay, and multiplying by the applicable number of months.
Example Calculation
Suppose an employee has a Basic Pay of ₹40,000 and DA changes from 14% to 18% for 6 months.
Basic Pay: ₹40,000
Old DA Rate: 14%
New DA Rate: 18%
Difference: 4%
Monthly Difference: ₹1,600
6-Month Estimated Arrears: ₹9,600
Why Actual DA Arrears May Differ
A simple calculator assumes the same Basic Pay throughout the selected period. Actual arrears can differ if Basic Pay changed because of annual increment, promotion, pay fixation, retirement or other service events.
Government orders can also specify the exact eligible period, payment method, employee category and other conditions.
