Want to know about the starting salary of a Directly Recruited Postal Assistant ?

Dear readers,

I have received many mails and messages from new recruited PAs and PA aspirants asking the exact gross salary they will get after joining. That is why I' m writing this post. Hope you all like it

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 107% of Basic Pay (It will be 113% this month)

9910*107/100 = 10604

So DA is RS 10604/-

Total Pay (Basic Pay + DA) = 9910+10604 = RS 20514/-

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 3312/-    (ie,1600+(1600*DA%))

Other wise it is 800+(800*DA%) = RS 1656/-

Gross salary

i. X Class City PAs

9910+10604+2973+3312 = RS. 26799/-

ii.Y Class city PAs

9910+10604+1982+1656 = RS 24152/-

iii. Z Class city PAs

9910+10604+991+1656  = RS 23161/-
