The recruitment at IIT Bombay for non-academic positions typically follows the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Pay Matrix. For a Level 6 post (e.g., Junior Engineer or Superintendent), the entry basic pay is 35,400 INR. With the current Dearness Allowance (DA) at 53%, the DA component amounts to 18,762 INR. Mumbai is classified as a Class X city, entitling employees to a House Rent Allowance (HRA) of 30% of the basic pay, totaling 10,620 INR. The Transport Allowance (TA) for higher TPTA cities is 3,600 INR plus DA on TA (1,908 INR), equaling 5,508 INR. Consequently, the Gross Monthly Salary reaches approximately 70,290 INR. After statutory deductions such as the National Pension System (NPS) contribution (10% of Basic + DA, approx. 5,416 INR) and professional tax, the estimated in-hand net salary is approximately 64,000 INR. Future transitions to the 8th CPC are expected to further enhance these figures through revised fitment factors.
