What is the Gujarat Government Pay Matrix?
The Gujarat Government Pay Matrix is a structured salary framework adopted by the Gujarat state government based on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay Commission. It was implemented through the Gujarat Civil Services (Revision of Pay) Rules, 2016, which were notified by the Finance Department, Government of Gujarat.
The pay matrix replaced the earlier system of pay bands and grade pay with a unified structure consisting of 14 pay levels (Level 1 to Level 14), rationalized from the existing pay scales. Each level corresponds to a specific position or grade, with a defined entry pay and annual increment structure.
The revised pay structure came into effect notionally from 1 January 2016. Scroll up to view the full PDF for the complete pay matrix with all levels and stages.

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, revised periodically by the government.
- Add HRA: House Rent Allowance (as per Gujarat government rules).
- Include Other Allowances: Transport, special, medical, and other applicable allowances.
Fitment Factor & Pay Fixation
The fitment factor for the Gujarat 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 (10,160 + 2,400)
- Multiplied by 2.57: ₹12,560 × 2.57 = ₹32,279.20 → ₹32,279
- Level: Level 4 (corresponding to Grade Pay 2400)
- Revised Pay: ₹32,300 (next higher cell in Level 4)
