Employees progress vertically by one cell (~3% annual growth) under Rule 10 on either 1st January or 1st July upon completing 6 months qualifying service.
Allowances (DA, HRA, TA)
Dearness Allowance (DA at 53%) is indexed biannually to the CPI-IW. HRA is classified by city population (30% X, 20% Y, 10% Z). Transport Allowance covers commutes.
