Dearness Allowance expectation from July 2012

As per AICPIN data, DA would be 7% from July 2012. Central Government increased 7% Dearness Allowance from January 2012, so we have 65% in total from Jan 2012 onwards, now it would be 65%+7%=72% from July 2012. So we can expect announcement from the Government to increase of 7% Dearness Allowance from July 2012 onwards. But this announcement will come only after August 2012. However we have to wait for Government order for final confirmation.
