West Bengal 7th State Pay Commission
The Government of West Bengal constituted the 7th State Pay Commission in July 2026. The Commission is currently carrying out its review and consultation-related work.
What Employees Should Know
A final fitment factor, revised Pay Matrix, revised minimum Basic Pay, pension revision method and implementation date have not yet been officially announced.
Any salary figures or fitment-factor claims circulating without an official Commission recommendation and Government order should be treated only as estimates or speculation.

Confirmed Information and Details Still Awaited
This distinction is important because the constitution of a Pay Commission does not automatically implement a new salary structure.
Commission Constituted
The West Bengal 7th State Pay Commission was officially constituted in July 2026.
Members Appointed
A Chairperson, two members and a Member Secretary have been appointed to the Commission.
Official Portal Available
A dedicated official portal is available for notices, documents, questionnaires and Commission-related information.
Consultation Underway
The Commission has started its review and stakeholder consultation-related process.
Final Fitment Factor
No final fitment factor should currently be treated as officially announced.
Revised Pay Matrix
A final revised Pay Matrix and minimum Basic Pay are still awaited.
Implementation Date
The final effective date and implementation schedule have not yet been notified.
Pension Revision
The final pension fitment method and revised pension structure are yet to be decided.
ROPA 2019 Remains Relevant
Until revised pay rules are formally notified, the existing West Bengal pay structure under the applicable ROPA 2019 rules continues to remain relevant for current salary calculations.
The constitution of the 7th State Pay Commission does not immediately replace ROPA 2019. A future revision will require Commission recommendations, a Government decision and official implementation orders.
