The salary of central employees is made by adding the pay matrix, fitment factor, dearness allowance, HRA and travel allowance. At present, there will be an increase in the salary of Level-3 employees.
Dearness allowance of central employees has increased. With the increase in dearness allowance, there is also a difference in the total gross salary. Pay matrix has been made according to every department in the 7th Pay Commission. There are different pay scale levels in the pay matrix. The salary of all of them is different.
The 7th Pay Commission was implemented for government employees from January 1, 2016, after that their salary structure changed. The gross salary has increased by about 14% in the new pay scale. However, after this, the Modi government started adding DA to it as well, due to which there was a further difference in salary. Any employee can calculate his salary according to his pay matrix.
Compared to the 6th Pay Commission, there was a big advantage in the 7th Pay Commission-
The basic pay at the entry level in the sixth pay scale was Rs 7000 (pay band 5200+grade pay 1800). At the same time, DA was available at 125%, which means DA was more than basic.
Including the rest of the allowances and deductions, the employee used to get Rs 14,757 a month. But, after the implementation of the 7th pay scale, there was a big increase in the monthly gross pay. DA was revised to zero again. At present, the employees are getting 38% dearness allowance, which has been implemented from July 2022.

Whereas, at Level 18, it is Rs 2.5 lakh per month. This arrangement is applicable from 1 January 2016.
