What is a Pay Matrix Level?
After the 7th Pay Commission, the old “Pay Band + Grade Pay” system was replaced by a Pay Matrix, which assigns a level to each job. For example:
- Excise Constable is in Level 4 of the pay matrix.
Each level in the matrix has a starting basic pay and then increases in fixed steps (called “increments”) over time.
Pay Level 4 Means:
- Basic Pay starts at ₹25,500
- Maximum can go up to ₹81,100 (as per service length and promotions)
- On top of this basic pay, you get allowances like:
- DA (Dearness Allowance)
- HRA (House Rent Allowance)
- TA (Travel Allowance)
- Risk or uniform allowance (if applicable)
So your in-hand salary will be more than the basic pay — typically ₹30,000–₹35,000 per month to start, depending on posting location and allowances.
Old vs New Format
| Term | Old Format | New Format (Post 7th CPC) |
|---|---|---|
| Pay Band | ₹5200–20200 | Replaced by Pay Matrix |
| Grade Pay | ₹1,900 | Covered in Level 4 matrix |
| Pay Matrix Level | Not used | Level 4 |
| Starting Basic Salary | Not fixed | ₹25,500 |
Here is a simplified Pay Matrix Chart (7th Pay Commission) showing basic pay for different Pay Levels, including Level 4 used for the Excise Constable (ABA25) post in Chhattisgarh:
