Gross Salary for Newly Appointed Postal Assistant / Sorting Assistant / PA SBCO

Gross Salary = B.P  +  D.A  +  H.R.A  +  T.A

B.P = Basic Pay

D.A = Dearness Allowance

H.R.A = House Rent Allowance

T.A = Travelling Allowance

The above are used for calculating the total salary of a Postal/Sorting Assistant.PA/SA’s are included in the Pay Scale of  5200-20200  with a grade pay of 2400.

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 Jan 2013, the Dearness Allowance is 80%. Thus the present DA is 80% of 9910 which works out to 7928.

    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 = 30 % of 9910 = 2973

 Y' Cities - 20% HRA  = 20 % of 9910 = 1982

 Z' Cities - 10% HRA  = 10 % of 9910 = 991

4.)    Travelling Allowance = TA is fixed as Rs.800 + the DA % 

of 800. So at present TA is 800 + 80% of 800 = 1440.
