A salary slip (also called payslip or pay stub) is a monthly document from your employer detailing how your salary is calculated. It shows every earning component (Basic Pay, DA, HRA, allowances) and every deduction (PF/NPS, income tax, professional tax) with the resulting net pay. Salary slips are essential for loan applications, visa processing, tax filing, and as proof of employment.
Understand the standard rates, slabs, and calculation rules defined by the Finance Department of the Government of Rajasthan for state employees under the 7th Pay Commission (Revised Pay Rules, 2017).

Q2: How is HRA calculated for employees in Rajasthan?

Q3: What is the difference between GPF and NPS schemes?

Q4: Can I voluntary deduct more State Insurance (SI) premium?
A: Yes, the Rajasthan government allows state employees to opt for up to two steps higher SI deduction rates above their standard monthly premium slabs.
Q5: What is Professional Tax?

This page is an independent educational resource to help Rajasthan government employees — including teachers, clerks, officers, and other state servants — understand how their monthly salary is structured, calculated, and disbursed under the 7th Pay Commission (Revised Pay Rules, 2017). Every component of the salary slip is explained in detail below.
The 7th Pay Commission, implemented in Rajasthan with effect from 01 January 2016, replaced the earlier Grade Pay system with a simplified Pay Matrix. The matrix has 24 Pay Levels (Level 1 to Level 24), each representing a different grade or category of employment. Within each level, there are 40 progressive cells. An employee's Basic Pay is the value of the cell they occupy in their respective level.
Each year, employees are granted an Annual Increment of approximately 3%, which moves them up by one cell in the pay matrix. This ensures a structured and predictable annual raise for all state government servants. The minimum Basic Pay in the matrix starts at ₹17,700 (Level 1, Cell 1), while the highest goes up to ₹2,25,000+ (Level 24 senior positions).
Dearness Allowance (DA) is a cost-of-living adjustment paid to government employees to offset the impact of inflation. It is calculated as a percentage of the Basic Pay and revised twice a year — in January and July — based on the All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI) for Industrial Workers.
| Effective From | DA Rate (%) | Increment |
|---|---|---|
| 01 July 2021 | 28% | +3% |
| 01 January 2022 | 34% | +6% |
| 01 July 2022 | 38% | +4% |
| 01 January 2023 | 42% | +4% |
| 01 July 2023 | 46% | +4% |
| 01 January 2024 | 50% | +4% |
| 01 July 2024 | 53% | +3% |
| 01 January 2025 | 55% | +2% |
| 01 July 2025 | 58% | +3% |
| 01 January 2026 | 60% (Current) | +2% |
At the current rate, an employee with a Basic Pay of ₹44,300 receives DA of ₹26,580/month (60% of ₹44,300). DA is fully taxable under income tax rules.
HRA is granted to government employees to help cover rental accommodation costs. In Rajasthan, cities are classified into two categories for HRA purposes:
Note: HRA is tax-exempt up to a certain limit under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act. Employees living in their own house or provided government accommodation are generally not entitled to HRA.
Rajasthan government employees fall under one of two retirement savings schemes depending on their date of appointment:
From a tax perspective, NPS contributions by employees are eligible for deduction under Section 80CCD(1) of the Income Tax Act, up to 10% of Basic + DA. Additional voluntary contributions up to ₹50,000 can claim deductions under Section 80CCD(1B).
The Rajasthan State Insurance scheme is a compulsory group insurance scheme for all state government employees. A fixed monthly premium is deducted from salary, and in return, employees (and their dependents) are covered for life insurance, accident insurance, and retirement benefits. Premium rates are slab-based on Basic Pay and employees can voluntarily opt for up to 2 higher premium slabs for enhanced coverage.
The Rajasthan Government Health Scheme (RGHS) provides cashless medical treatment to all state government employees and their dependent family members at empanelled hospitals across Rajasthan. A monthly contribution (based on a slab linked to Basic Pay) is deducted from salary. Under RGHS, employees can avail OPD, IPD, specialist consultations, surgeries, and chronic disease treatment without upfront payment at approved hospitals.
Let's calculate the approximate take-home salary for a Lecturer (Pay Level 12, Basic Pay ₹44,300) posted in Jaipur (20% HRA city) under the GPF scheme:
| Component | Formula | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Pay | Fixed (Level 12, Cell 1) | 44,300 |
| DA @ 60% | 44,300 × 60% | 26,580 |
| HRA @ 20% (Jaipur) | 44,300 × 20% | 8,860 |
| Gross Salary | Basic + DA + HRA | 79,740 |
| GPF Deduction | Slab for ₹38,501–₹54,000 | −2,850 |
| SI Premium | Slab for ₹28,501–₹46,500 | −2,200 |
| RGHS | Slab for ₹33,501–₹54,000 | −658 |
| Approx. In-Hand | Gross − Deductions | 74,032 |
* This is an illustrative estimate. Actual salary may vary based on Income Tax deductions, LIC premiums, loan installments, or other custom deductions applicable to the individual employee.
Government employees are subject to Income Tax (TDS) deducted at source by the Drawing & Disbursing Officer (DDO). Key exemptions and deductions available include:
Employees should consult a tax professional or submit their investment declarations to the DDO each financial year to optimise their TDS deductions and avoid excess or short deductions.
