AICPI index numbers are not released consecutively to calculate inflation for July. It has released only the numbers for january 2024. Full details are expected to be released soon. As per the recommendation of the 7th Pay Commission, once the dearness allowance reaches 50% it should be reduced to zero and the dearness allowance amount should be added to the basic pay. But this is not mandatory. So, some say that the next time the discount rate goes above 50%, it will be zeroed out.
