What did the Assam Pay Revision change?

How is revised pay fixed?
Revised pay fixation depends on the employee's existing pay, applicable pay band, grade pay, revised scale and the specific provisions of the Assam Services (Revision of Pay) Rules, 2017.
Employees should verify their exact fixation from their department, pay fixation statement or the applicable Government order because individual cases may differ.
Pay Band, Grade Pay and Revised Scale
Assam's revised pay structure uses revised pay bands and grade pay corresponding to different posts and services.
The exact revised scale depends on the post, cadre and previous pay scale applicable to the employee.

Revised Basic Pay is important because several salary components are calculated with reference to Basic Pay.
Depending on applicable rules, an employee's salary may include:
| Basic Pay | Revised pay according to applicable pay rules |
|---|---|
| Dearness Allowance | Calculated using the applicable DA rate |
| HRA | Subject to applicable Government rules |
| Other Allowances | Depends on post, department and eligibility |
| Deductions | May include pension contribution, tax and other applicable deductions |
Dearness Allowance after pay revision
Dearness Allowance is revised separately from Basic Pay through Finance Department orders.
The applicable DA rate should always be checked from the latest official Government order rather than assuming that the pay revision itself fixes the current DA rate.

Pensioners should verify revised pension, Dearness Relief and other retirement benefits from the relevant Assam Government pension notification.
