minutes.

The salary structure of a
Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistant (PA/SA) is based on the following
parameters:
B.P = Basic Pay
D.A = Dearness Allowance
H.R.A = House Rent Allowance
T.A = Travelling Allowance
The above are used for calculating the total salary of a
Postal/Sorting Assistant
PA/SA’s are included in the Pay
Scale of 5200-20200 with a grade pay of 2400.
Calculation:
1. Basic Pay (BP) = 9910 (7510 +
2400)
2. Dearness Allowance = Dearness
Allowance (DA) is given by the Government in every six months ie, in January
and July every year. From Jan 2013, the Dearness Allowance is 80%. Thus the
present DA is 80% of 9910 which works out to 7928.
3) House Rent Allowance (HRA) =
HRA is calculated based on the city where you are working. In India the cities
have been classified into three categories as “X”, “Y” and “Z”.
