  • Pay Level and Grade Pay: The 7th CPC pay matrix categorizes employees into pay levels and assigns a corresponding grade pay.
  • Basic Pay: This is the pre-revised basic pay you received as of December 31st, 2015.
  • Fitment Factor: The 7th CPC multiplied the basic pay by a factor (currently 2.57) to arrive at the revised basic pay.
  • Dearness Allowance (DA): This is a cost-of-living adjustment added to the basic pay, and the percentage is periodically revised by the government.
  • House Rent Allowance (HRA): This allowance depends on the city you work in and your pay level.
