How this 8th CPC pay matrix is built
The 7th CPC pay matrix has 19 levels. Each level starts at an entry pay and every cell above it is 3% higher, rounded to the nearest ₹100. To project the 8th CPC matrix, we multiply each cell by the fitment factor and round again to the nearest ₹100, just as the 7th CPC did with 2.57.
When the real matrix is published, the commission may merge levels (the NC-JCM has proposed this), change the increment rate or add cells. We will update this page as soon as official figures are out.
