7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Compensation Structure
Recruitment at IISER Pune for Level 6 (Group B) positions follows the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) structure. The entry basic pay is set at 35,400. With the current Dearness Allowance (DA) at 53%, the DA component amounts to 18,762. Pune is classified as a Class X city for House Rent Allowance (HRA), entitling employees to 30% of the basic pay, which is 10,620. The Transport Allowance (TA) for this level is 3,600 plus DA on TA (1,908), totaling 5,508. Consequently, the Gross Monthly Salary reaches approximately 70,290. After mandatory deductions including the National Pension System (NPS) contribution (10% of Basic + DA, roughly 5,416) and professional tax, the estimated in-hand net salary is approximately 64,000. While the 8th CPC is yet to be formally implemented, future projections suggest a significant upward revision in the fitment factor, potentially enhancing the basic pay and overall emoluments for the cadre.

IISER Pune adheres to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) Office Memorandums regarding vertical and horizontal reservations. Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) receive a 5-year age relaxation, while Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL) receive 3 years. Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) are eligible for a 10-year relaxation. A 10% vertical reservation is implemented for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS).
