This detailed report explains the HP Govt Pay Matrix Table, Pay Levels for different posts, and the complete DA Rate Chart up to 2026 for Himachal Pradesh Government employees and pensioners.

What is the HP Government Pay Matrix Table?

The Pay Matrix Table is a simplified salary structure where each post is assigned a specific Pay Level. Every Pay Level contains progressive salary cells that correspond to annual increments. The HP Government has adopted this system to make pay fixation, promotion, and salary progression more systematic and transparent.

The key components of the HP Pay Matrix include:

  • Pay Level (PL)
  • Basic Pay
  • Annual Increment
  • Promotion Pay Fixation
  • Pension and Retirement Benefits

What is the HP Government Pay Matrix Table?

The HP Government Pay Matrix Table is a structured salary chart introduced after the 7th Pay Commission. It organizes salaries into Pay Levels, making pay fixation, increments, and promotions transparent and uniform across Himachal Pradesh Government departments.

How many Pay Levels exist under the HP pay structure?

Himachal Pradesh follows Pay Levels 1 to 20+, covering all categories of government employees—from Class-IV staff to Class-I officers and senior administrative positions.

How often is DA revised for HP Government employees?

Dearness Allowance (DA) is revised twice every year, following the Central Government schedule:
1st January
1st July
These revisions help compensate employees and pensioners for inflation.

Do HP Government pensioners receive DA?

Yes. Pensioners in Himachal Pradesh receive Dearness Relief (DR), which is always equal to the DA percentage given to serving state government employees. DR is applied to basic pension and family pension.

HP Govt Pay Matrix Examples (With Detailed Calculations)

The following examples are taken from the Himachal Pradesh Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2022 and illustrate how pay is fixed for various categories of government employees. These examples simplify the rules for easy understanding.

Example 1: Pay Fixation Without Re-Revision 2012 (Factor 2.59)

This illustration applies to employees whose pay band and grade pay were not re-revised under the 2012 rules.

StepDescriptionResult
1Existing Pay BandPB-5 (₹37,400 – ₹67,000)
2Existing Grade Pay₹8,700
3Level as per 2022 RulesLevel-28
4Existing Basic Pay (31.12.2015)₹55,040
5Multiply by factor 2.59₹1,42,553.60 (rounded: ₹1,42,554)
6Nearest Pay Matrix CellLevel-28 → next cell
7Revised Pay in Matrix₹1,42,700

Example 2: Pay Fixation With Re-Revision 2012 (Method-1: Factor 2.25)

For employees who were granted higher PB/GP under Re-Revision 2012, the following method applies:

  • Multiply existing basic pay (as on 31.12.2015) by 2.25
  • Round off to nearest rupee
  • Fit into the nearest or next higher cell in the applicable Pay Level
  • Revised pay becomes effective from 01.01.2016

Example 3: Pay Fixation Ignoring Re-Revision 2012 (Method-2: Factor 2.59)

This beneficial method recalculates pay by ignoring the impact of Re-Revision 2012:

  • Fix notional pay under 2009 Rules (without 2012 benefit)
  • Multiply the notional basic pay by 2.59
  • Fit into the nearest or next higher Pay Matrix cell
  • Employee may choose whichever method (2.25 or 2.59) gives higher pay

Example 4: Pay Fixation for Employees Who Joined After 01.01.2016

For employees recruited between 01.01.2016 and 03.01.2022:

  • Take the Basic Pay on the date of joining
  • Multiply by 2.59
  • Fit into the appropriate Pay Matrix cell
  • Revised pay cannot be less than the first cell of the applicable level

Example 5: Promotion Pay Fixation (Option-1: From Date of Promotion)

When the employee opts for pay fixation from the date of promotion:

  • Add one increment in the current Pay Level
  • Move to the next higher Level and fit into the nearest higher cell
  • Next increment allowed after 12 months

Example 6: Promotion Pay Fixation (Option-2: From Next Increment Date)

This option is often more beneficial. Steps include:

  • From promotion date → place employee at immediate next higher cell
  • On increment date → apply two increments (annual + promotional)
  • Fit into the nearest cell in the higher Level
  • Next increment after 12 months from re-fixation date

Example 7: Annual Increment (3%)

All Himachal Pradesh Government employees receive an annual increment of 3%. This is represented by movement to the next vertical cell in the Pay Matrix.

Employees at the last cell of their Level are not eligible for further increments.

Example 8: Stepping-Up of Pay (Senior vs. Junior)

If a junior employee receives higher pay than a senior after revision, stepping-up is allowed when:

  • Both employees belong to the same cadre
  • Both hold identical posts
  • Pay anomaly is caused by the application of 2022 Pay Rules

This ensures that the senior employee gets the same pay cell as the junior.
