How to read this comparison

The left card is your real, notified 7th CPC position including current DA. Every right-hand scenario multiplies basic by an assumed factor and resets DA to zero — mirroring what implementation day looks like structurally. The gap between low and high scenarios tells you how much genuinely remains unknown.

How the calculation works

Scenario basic = round to ₹10 of (current basic × factor); delta = scenario − today's basic+DA baseline

  1. Pick your level and cell for the official column.
  2. Toggle which factor scenarios to display.
  3. Read deltas against the basic-plus-DA baseline.
  4. Return after the report lands — this page will switch to notified numbers.

Worked example

Level 10 stage 1 draws ₹56,100 plus ₹33,660 DA today. At parity factor 2.57 the projection is ₹1,44,180 with DA at zero — richer in basic, structurally identical on day one.

What this estimate does not include

  • Allowances such as HRA slabs and TA bands will be re-notified separately and are not projected.
  • Pension, gratuity and NPS impacts depend on rules not yet published.
  • Factor presets include stakeholder demands that are not government policy.

Use the result as a planning estimate, not as personalized financial, tax, legal, or investment advice.
