Basic, gross and take-home pay
The lower pay-matrix figure does not include every allowance and the upper figure is not the starting salary of every appointee. Gross pay includes admissible allowances; take-home pay follows applicable deductions. Department, posting, accommodation and individual circumstances affect the calculation.
Use the appointing department’s applicable orders and appointment documents for an actual calculation. This page does not reuse stale allowance percentages or present an unsupported city-wise net-pay table.
Compare the exact post
JE Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Telecom and IMD Scientific Assistant do not share one qualification route simply because the notice places them at the same pay level. Some departments require relevant experience for diploma candidates, while IMD has an amended degree/subject requirement.
Compare eligibility, duties and posting implications alongside pay before expressing preferences. The post-wise eligibility guide links the qualification table and IMD addendum.
