How Odisha Government Salary is Calculated

Calculating your Odisha government salary involves more than just your basic pay. Here's a complete guide to understanding every component of your monthly in-hand salary.

Salary Formula

Gross Salary = Basic Pay + DA (58%) + HRA (If applicable)
Net Salary = Gross Salary − NPS (10% of Basic+DA) − Professional Tax (If applicable) − Other Deductions (like GIS, Water tax, LIC premium, HBA Adavance deductions etc.)

Example Calculation

For a Level 9, Cell 1 employee (Basic: ₹35,400) in Bhubaneswar , not in govt quarters:

• Basic Pay: ₹35,400
• DA @ 58%: ₹20,532
• HRA @ 16% : ₹6,372
• Gross: ₹61,596
• NPS (10% of Basic+DA): ₹6159
• Net In-Hand: ~₹55,437/month

Salary Breakdown (Basic, DA, HRA, NPS)

DA contributes the single largest allowance — at 58%, it adds more than half the basic pay to your gross. HRA is the second biggest allowance for employees not in government accommodation. NPS is the biggest deduction at 10% of Basic+DA, but remember — both you and the government contribute to your retirement corpus.

Step 1 — Find Your Basic Pay

Your basic pay is determined by your Pay Level (1 to 17) and Cell Number in the 7th CPC Pay Matrix. The Cell Number increases by 1 on annual increment. Example: Level 9, Cell 1 = ₹35,400 will be after increment Level-9, cell 2,₹36,500

Step 2 — Add Dearness Allowance (DA 58%)

The Dearness Allowance for Odisha government employees is currently 58% of Basic Pay. DA is revised twice a year — January and July — based on AICPI-IW data. Odisha follows central government DA rates.

Step 3 — Add House Rent Allowance (HRA)

Present HRA Rates are 16/12/8/4 % as per the place of posting. You can check your HRA percentage here. HRA is not applicable if you live in government quarters.

Step 4 — Subtract NPS Deduction
