It is already 2nd April today. Our comrades would have been waiting for the CHQ to give information regarding the expected IDA increase, to be paid w.e.f 01.04.2024. However, it is most surprising that the Labour Bureau has not released the Price Index numbers for the month of February 2024.  As a result, IDA increase w.e.f. 01.04.2024 could not be calculated. CHQ will inform the expected IDA increase, as and when the data is released by the Labour Bureau.
