Frequently Asked Questions (Pay Fixation)

Pay fixation determines how your salary changes after promotion, increment or Pay Commission revision. Understanding the rules helps estimate your future salary accurately.

What is pay fixation?

Pay fixation is the process of determining revised salary when an employee gets a promotion, increment or when a new Pay Commission is implemented.

How is pay fixed after promotion?

On promotion, the basic pay is first increased by one increment in the current level and then placed in the next higher pay level at the nearest higher cell.

What is the formula for pay fixation?

Pay fixation generally follows this rule: apply one increment in the current level, then move to the next pay level and select the nearest higher basic pay in the pay matrix.

How will pay fixation work in 8th CPC?

In the 8th CPC, pay fixation is expected to be based on a fitment factor applied to 7th CPC basic pay, followed by placement in the revised pay matrix.

What is the role of fitment factor in pay fixation?

Fitment factor multiplies the existing basic pay to determine revised pay under the new Pay Commission. It directly impacts the final salary.

What is the difference between increment and promotion in pay fixation?

Increment increases salary within the same level, while promotion moves the employee to a higher pay level with a revised salary.

How many increments are given during promotion?

Typically, one increment is granted in the current level before moving to the higher level during promotion.

Does pay fixation affect allowances like DA and HRA?

Yes, allowances such as DA and HRA are calculated as a percentage of basic pay, so any increase in basic pay through fixation increases these allowances.

Can I calculate pay fixation for both 7th and 8th CPC?

Yes, this calculator helps estimate pay fixation under current 7th CPC rules as well as projected 8th CPC scenarios using different fitment factors.

Is this pay fixation calculator accurate?

The calculator provides a close estimate based on standard rules, but actual fixation may vary depending on department rules and official government orders.
