Employee unions demand a Rs 69,000 basic pay. We can calculate the salary using this basic pay and a 64 percent DA.
- Assumed basic pay: Rs 69,000
- 64% DA: Rs 44,160
- Basic travel allowance for metro cities: Rs 3,600 64% DA portion on TA: Rs 2,304
- Total travel allowance: Rs 5,904
We add these three main components:
Rs 69,000 + Rs 44,160 + Rs 5,904 = Rs 1,19,064.
The basic pay, DA, and TA add up to Rs 1,19,064 per month in this assumption. Employees will also get HRA and other allowances.
The 8th Pay Commission has not confirmed this salary amount yet. The final rules will decide how the new pay panel merges the DA with the basic pay.
