Salary of a newly appointed Postal/Sorting Assistant (PA/SA)

Salary of a newly appointed Postal/Sorting Assistant (PA/SA)

Friends…we have been receiving many queries regarding the salary structure of a newly appointed PA/SA. In this post we are bring you the details on the same. Hope this helps you…

The salary structure of  Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistant (PA/SA) cadre in Department of Posts, Government of India is based on the following parameters:

B.P = Basic Pay

D.A = Dearness Allowance

H.R.A = House Rent Allowance

T.A = Travelling Allowance

The above parameters are used in calculating the total salary of a Postal/Sorting Assistant.

PA/SA cadre, as per sixth central pay commission which came into effect in 2006, is included in the Pay Scale of  5200-20200  with a grade pay of 2400. And the good news is that Finance Minister has already announced the setting up of seventh central pay commission and Justice Ashok Kumar Mathur has been appointed as commission and  it will come into effect in 2016!!!!

Calculation:

1)     Basic Pay (BP) = 9910 ( 7510 + 2400)

2)     Dearness Allowance = Dearness Allowance (DA) is given by the Government in every six months ie, in January and July every year. From January 2014 the Dearness Allowance is 100%. Thus the present DA is 100% of 9910 which works out to 9910.

3)     House Rent Allowance (HRA) = HRA is calculated based on the city where you are working. In India the cities have been classified into three categories as “X”, “Y” and “Z”.

                                   X' Cities - 30% HRA

States	Cities Classified as "X"
Andhra Pradesh	Hyderabad (UA)
Delhi	Delhi (UA)
Karnataka	Bangaluru (UA)
Mahrashtra	Greater Mumbai (UA)
Tamilnadu	Chennai (UA)
West Bengal	Kolkatta (UA)

                                                                  

                                                                    Y' Cities - 20% HRA 

States	Cities Classified as "Y"
Andhra Pradesh	Vijayawada (UA, Warangal, (UA), Vishkhapatnam (UA), Guntur
Assam	Guwahati (UA)
Bihar	Patna (UA)
Chandigarh	Chandigarh
Chattisgarh	Durg-Bhilai Nagar (UA), Raipur (UA)
Gujarat	Ahmedabad (UA), Rajkot (UA), Jamnagar (UA), Bhavnagar (UA), Vadodara (UA), Surat (UA)
Haryana	Faridabad*
Jammu & Kashmir	Srinagar (UA), Jammu (UA)
Jharkhand	Jamshedpur (UA), Dhanbad (UA), Ranchi (UA)
Karnataka	Belgaum (UA), Hubli-Dharwad, Mangalore (UA), Mysore (UA)
Kerala	Kozhikode (UA), Kochi (UA), Thiruvananthapuram (UA)
Madhya Pradesh	Gwalior (UA), Indore (UA), Bhopal (UA), Jabalpur (UA)
Maharashtra	Amravati, Nagpur (UA), Aurangabad (UA), Nashik (UA), Bhiwandi (UA), Pune (UA), Solapur, Kolhapur (UA)
Orissa	Cuttack (UA), Bhubaneswar (UA)
Punjab	Amritsar (UA), Jalandhar (UA), Ludihiana
Pondicherry	Pondicherry (UA)
Rajasthan	Bikaner, Jaipur, Jodhpur (UA), Kota (UA)
Tamilnadu	Salem (UA), Tiruppur (UA), Coimbatore (UA), Madurai (UA)
Uttarkhand	Dehradun (UA)
Uttar Pradesh	Moradabad, Meerut (UA), Ghaziabad*, Aligarh, Agra (Ua), Bareilly (UA), Lucknow (UA), Kanpur (UA), Allahabad (UA), Gorakhpur, Varanasi (UA)
West Bengal	Asansol (UA)

 Remaining cities –      Z' Cities - 10% HRA 

In X cities = 30 % of 9910 = 2973

In Y Cities = 20 % of 9910 = 1982

In Z Cities = 10 % of 9910 = 991

4)     Travelling Allowance = TA is fixed as Rs.800 + the DA % of 800. So at present TA is 800 + 100% of 800 = 1600.

Gross Salary works out to:

·        In X class cities salary will be = 9910+9910+2973+1600 = 24,393

·        In  Y class cities will be = 9910+9910+1982+1600 = 23,402

·        In Z class cities will be = 9910+9910+991+1600= 22,411

(Note: Deductions as applicable including New Pension Scheme (NPS) Subscription etc will be made from this).
