How to Calculate Salary Using the Pay Matrix

Total Monthly Salary = Basic Pay + DA + HRA + Other Allowances

Step-by-step calculation:

Determine the Pay Level: Identify your position's pay level (1 to 14) from the pay matrix.
Find the Basic Pay: Locate your basic pay in the matrix based on your level and stage (index).
Calculate DA: DA is a percentage of basic pay. As on 01.04.2017, DA was 4%.
Add HRA: House Rent Allowance (as per Bihar government rules).
Include Other Allowances: Transport, special, medical, and other applicable allowances.

Example: For Level 1 (basic pay ₹18,000), DA at 4% = ₹720. Total basic + DA = ₹18,720 (excluding HRA and other allowances).

Fitment Factor & Pay Fixation

The fitment factor for the Bihar Pay Matrix is 2.57, as per the 7th CPC. The existing basic pay under the 6th CPC is multiplied by 2.57, rounded off to the nearest rupee, and then located in the appropriate level of the pay matrix.

Normal Fitment Illustration:

Existing Pay Band: PB-1
Existing Grade Pay: 2400
Existing Basic Pay: ₹12,560
Upgraded Grade Pay: 2800
Pay for Fixation: ₹12,960 (10,160 + 2,800)
Multiplied by 2.57: ₹33,307.20 → ₹33,307
Level: Level 5 (corresponding to Grade Pay 2800)
Revised Pay: ₹33,900 (next higher cell in Level 5)

Important: Pay fixation is done as per Rule 6 of the Bihar Finance Department Resolution. The pay is fixed in the applicable Level by multiplying the existing basic pay by 2.57 and locating it in the pay matrix.

Important Points to Remember

Effective Date: Notional from 1 January 2016, actual payments from 1 April 2017.
Pay Matrix Levels: 14 levels (Level 1 to Level 14) corresponding to existing Grade Pays.
