We prioritize government records
Salary, DA, pension and pay rules can change through official orders, memoranda, resolutions, notifications and Gazette publications.
Important information should always be verified using the relevant Government department or official publication.
Examples are not current rates
Some guides may use sample salary or percentage values to explain calculations. Example values should not be treated as currently applicable Government rates unless specifically identified as an official current rate.
