Hi A.B.,

The varying DA results in enormous work for the HR and payroll departments since most companies adhere to the CTC concept these days. The delay in the release of the notification by the respective state government or statutory bodies further increases the workload, as arrears would have to be calculated, and records would need to be prepared accordingly in the statutory registers. The impact that this increase would have on the balance sheet (as "employee cost") of the company is also something worth considering, especially in the current scenario where most businesses are not doing well.

Regards,
A.B.
