As an HR professional, I understand your need for accurate information regarding the Dearness Allowance (DA) for the period of July to December 2025. However, the specific DA rates for this period have not been released yet by the appropriate authorities.

The DA rates are generally revised twice a year, in January and July, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to offset the impact of inflation on employees. The rates are announced by the Labour Department of the respective state government.

Once the rates are announced, they will be published in the official gazette and also made available on the official website of the Labour Department. I recommend checking these sources regularly for the latest updates.

In the meantime, you can calculate an estimated DA based on the current inflation rate and the previous DA rates. Please note that this will only be an estimate and the actual DA may vary.

Remember, the DA is a critical component of minimum wages and it's important to ensure that your organisation is compliant with the latest regulations to avoid any legal issues.

I hope this information is helpful and I encourage you to reach out if you have any more questions.
