Know how to calculate your 7th CPC salary! 

The method to calculate your salary as per the 7th CPC is simple. The pay in the applicable Level in the Pay Matrix shall be the pay obtained by multiplying the existing basic pay by a factor of 2.57, rounded off to the nearest rupee and the figure so arrived at will be located in that Level in the Pay Matrix.

Note that if such an identical figure arrived after rounding- off corresponds to any Cell in the applicable Level of the Pay Matrix, the same shall be the pay. If no such Cell is available in the applicable Level, the pay shall be fixed at the immediate next higher Cell in that applicable Level of the Pay Matrix.

Let us say the Basic pay of an employee as on 1st January 2016 is Rs 20,500 in the Grade Pay Level 2 of the Pay Band 5200- 20200 (Highest salary in this pay band ). 

  New Pay = (Basic pay (as on 1st Jan 2016) x 2.57)+ All Allowances as per to the revised rates by the Government Cabinet decision. 

All you have to do is to multiply this with 2.57 fitment factor. Multiply basic pay by 2.57 fitment factor = Rs 20,500 x 2.57 = Rs 52,685. Your TA, HRA, medical allowances as applicable and according to the revised rates of allowances approved by the Government etc will be added to the amount of Rs 52,685.

As per a government document, the Pay Band is between RS 5200- Rs 20200 in case of employees. The Grade Pay prescribed under the guidelines are 1800, 1900, 2000, 2400, 2800. There are 5 levels in the Pay Matrix. In each level the salaries have been decided from the newly recruited class officer to higher positions in that level.
