WB Arrear DA Calculator: The long wait for West Bengal State Government employees is finally over. The Finance Department, Government of West Bengal, has recently issued Notification No. 996-F(P2) dated 13th March, 2026, announcing the payment of Dearness Allowance (DA) arrears in multiple phases.

For the 1st Phase, the arrear Dearness Allowance will be calculated for the period from January, 2016 to December, 2019. However, calculating your exact due amount manually can be quite complex, especially if you have to account for promotions, increments, or retirement dates.

To make this process completely hassle-free, we have developed the WB Govt DA Arrear Calculator (Phase 1)!

Why Use Our DA Arrear Calculator?

Our custom calculator is built strictly according to the guidelines provided in the recent Finance Department notification. Here is how it helps you:

• Pinpoint Accuracy: Easily calculate your exact DA arrears for the designated period (Jan 2016 to Dec 2019) based on your Basic Pay.
• Instalment Breakdown: As per the official order, the calculated arrear will be paid in two equal instalments: the 1st instalment in March, 2026 and the 2nd instalment in September, 2026. The calculator automatically splits your total amount to show exactly how much you will receive in each phase.
• Handles Promotions & Retirement: If you received a promotion or pay revision, or if you retired during this period, simply input the dates. The tool automatically adjusts the calculations for you.
• Downloadable PDF Report: Generate and download a complete, itemized calculation sheet in PDF format for your personal records.

Important Rules for DA Arrear Payment:

Before you calculate, keep these official disbursement rules in mind:

• For Group A, B, and C Employees: Your DA arrears will be credited directly into your respective General Provident Fund (GPF) Accounts. Please note that these funds cannot be withdrawn or used for calculating admissible advances until the completion of 24 months from the date of credit (unless in cases of superannuation, retirement, death, or resignation).
• For Group D Employees: The arrears will be credited in cash directly into your respective Bank Accounts.

How to Use the Calculator:

Using the tool is incredibly simple. Just select your joining status, enter your Basic Pay as of 1st January 2016 (or your joining date, if later), and add any promotions you received between 2016 and 2019. Click the “Calculate Arrear DA” button, and your detailed month-wise breakdown will appear instantly!
