The Calculation of DRA 2026 @15% Federal Employees is very simple but not easily auto-calculated. The rates of DRA-2026 will be on the basic pay as on 30-06-2022. The details are as follows:
Calculation of DRA 2026 @15% Federal Employees
The federal employees will likely to get the Disparity Reduction Allowance 2026 @ 15% on the basic pay as on 30-06-2022. They are already getting three DRAs that are also on the basic pay of the Revised Basic Pay Scales 2017. The details of previous DRAs are as follows:
- DRA-2021 @ 25% on the basic pay as on 01-03-2021
- DRA-2022 @ 15% on the basic pay as on 01-03-2022
- DRA-2025 @ 30% on the basic pay as on 30-06-2022
Total DRA = 70%
If we look at all the above, Disparity Reduction Allowances are on the basis of the Revised Pay Scales 2022. Now, as per the summary, the new DRA-2025 is also on the basic pay as on 30-06-2022, just before the introduction of revised basic pay scales 2022.
Calculation Formula DRA-2026
The calculation formula for DRA-2026 is simple. Just check at your pay slip the Adhoc Relief Allowance 2022 amount. The amount of ARA-2022 will be the amount of DRA-2026
DRA-2026 = ARA-2022
The rate of Ad hoc Relief Allowance is based on the basic pay as on 30-06-2022, and DRA-2026 will also be based on the basic pay as on 30-06-2022.
Wrong Calculations
I have seen that many people on social media either used calculators based on the revised basic pay scales 2026 or calculated using the initial 2017 basic pay scales. It is not so. The exact value of the DRA-2026 is the amount of ARA-2022.
