The Commissioner of Labour notifies the CPI points every 1 April and 1 October, and the variable dearness allowance (cost of living allowance) is paid per point above the link point. About 70 scheduled employments; most have two zones (Zone I all municipal corporations, selection grade and special grade municipalities; Zone II rest of the state), some three. Rates are designation-based, mapped to skill bands (highly skilled / skilled / semi-skilled A and B / unskilled).
