Dear Shifali,

DA means Dearness Allowance, while VDA stands for Variable Dearness Allowance. Both of these components are included in the Salary Breakup.

Thank you.

Dearness Allowance (DA) and City Compensatory Allowance (CCA) are amounts payable to meet the cost of living in a particular city. For example, individuals residing in metros or Tier I/II cities receive a certain amount as DA/CCA per month because the cost of living is higher, or in other words, consumables are more expensive in those cities.
