Pay Hierarchy Table for Pay Level 3: The ‘Pay Matrix Table’, proposed by the 7th pay commission, represents a clear and innovative approach to standardizing the pay structure for all central government employees. It streamlines the pay fixation process and considers various applicable allowances. In this regard, we have clarified the pay level of 3, including both the gross and net salary.

Level 3 in the Pay Matrix as per 7th CPC

The table outlining pay hierarchy consists of two elements – the “Horizontal range” which indicates pay levels, and the “Vertical range” which outlines the pay progression within each level. The progression involves a three percent annual financial increase between adjacent cells, although some stages may reflect a higher increase while others may show less than three percent. Our intention is to clarify the pay progression for all levels in the table.
