Frequently asked questions

How is DA arrears calculated?
DA arrears = Basic pay × (New DA % − Old DA %) × number of months. For example ₹35,400 × 3% × 3 months = ₹3,186.
Is tax charged on arrears?
Yes, arrears are taxed in the year you receive them. If this pushes you into a higher slab, you can claim relief under Section 89(1) by filing Form 10E before your return.
Is PF deducted on arrears?
Usually yes, on the Basic + DA part. Some employers apply the ₹15,000 PF wage ceiling. Untick PF if your employer does not deduct it.
Does HRA change when DA changes?
For Central Government staff, HRA is linked to basic pay, and the rate went up when DA crossed 50%. Enter your HRA % only if it changed.
