Calculation of dearness allowance The amount of dearness allowance is calculated on the basis of multiplying the current rate of DA and basic salary. Suppose your basic salary is Rs 29,000 and DA is 42 per cent, then your DA formula will be (42x 29200)/100. Similarly, dearness relief is also calculated for pensioners.
According to the rules of the Income Tax Department, tax has to be paid on the dearness allowance. While filing ITR, people have to give complete information after dearness allowance.
