Level 6
First Cell Basic Pay: ₹22,700
An employee's actual Basic Pay does not necessarily remain at the first cell. It depends on the applicable matrix cell after pay fixation and increments.
From Pay Matrix to Salary
The Pay Matrix determines Basic Pay. Eligible allowances and deductions are then applied separately to determine gross and take-home salary.
