Entry Gross Pay Calculation of Postal Assistant / Sorting Assistant

Entry pay in the revised pay structure for direct recruits appointed on or after 01.01.2006 is RS 9910/-

Now let us add DA (Dearness Allowance) which is currently 119% of Basic Pay (From July 2015)

9910*107/100 = 11793 So DA is RS 11793/- Total Pay (Basic Pay + DA) = 9910+11793 = RS 21703/-

Now HRA (House Rent Allowance) is to be added with BP which is different according to your city

For top metros (X Class) HRA is 30% of BP For Middle class cities (Y Class) HRA is 20% of BP For other cities (Z Class) HRA is 10% of BP

If you are posted in Mumbai Metro or other Metros, Your HRA will be RS 2973/- (ie. 9910*30/100)

Now let us calculate TA (Travelling Allowance) If you are from A1 Category city your HRA is RS 3504/- (ie,1600+(1600*DA%)) Other wise it is 800+(800*DA%) = RS 1752/-

Salary / Other Financial Facilities for Newly Recruited PA / SA

Salary structure of a PA/SA

The salary structure of a Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistant (PA/SA) 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 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.
