1. What is the 7th Pay Commission?

The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) is a panel constituted by the Government of India to review and recommend changes to the salary structure of central government employees. The recommendations were implemented from January 1, 2016, and many state governments including Karnataka have adopted similar structures.

2. How Salary is Calculated

The salary calculation under 7th Pay Commission involves:

\[ \text{New Basic Pay} = (\text{Pay in Pay Band} + \text{Grade Pay}) \times 2.57 \] \[ \text{Total Salary} = \text{New Basic Pay} + \text{DA} + \text{HRA} + \text{Transport Allowance} + \text{Other Allowances} \]

Where:

2.57 — Multiplication factor recommended by 7th CPC
DA — Dearness Allowance (percentage of basic pay)
HRA — House Rent Allowance (percentage based on city class)

3. Components of Salary

Basic Pay: The fundamental component of salary which determines other allowances.
Dearness Allowance (DA): Cost of living adjustment allowance paid to government employees.
House Rent Allowance (HRA): Depends on city classification (X, Y, or Z).

Other Allowances: May include special duty allowances, medical allowances, etc.
