Understanding the Comparison

This tool uses the latest ROPA 2019 pay matrix data to calculate estimated salaries. While the basic pay is fixed per level, the actual in-hand salary may vary based on:

  • Location (HRA): West Bengal follows a flat 12% HRA, but other states may vary based on city category (X, Y, Z).
  • Deductions: GPF/NPS contributions and Professional Tax are calculated as per standard state government norms.
  • Allowances: Specific departments (like Police) may have additional allowances like Ration or Uniform allowance not shown in the general comparison.
