Finding DA in your Salary Slip
Many employees struggle to locate exactly where their DA is logged. It is always printed precisely under the "Earnings" or "Total Allowances" column on your official payslip.
It rests directly beneath your Basic Salary line-item since DA grows proportionately based on whatever that base basic figure is.
