7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Compensation Structure

The Junior Research Fellow (JRF) position under the ANRF-sponsored project at IIT Indore (IITI) is governed by DST OM guidelines rather than standard 7th CPC pay levels. It carries a consolidated monthly fellowship of Rs. 37,000 for the first two years. Dearness Allowance (DA) is not applicable to fellowship positions. However, House Rent Allowance (HRA) is provided at 18% (Class Y city, Indore), amounting to Rs. 6,660, bringing the Gross Monthly Salary to Rs. 43,660. No Transport Allowance (TA) is admissible. Since this is a contractual research fellowship, standard NPS or Provident Fund (PF) deductions do not apply, resulting in an estimated in-hand net salary of Rs. 43,660 per month. This fellowship is exempt from professional tax in most states, though subject to income tax guidelines if applicable.

EWS candidates receive a 10% vertical reservation in shortlisting criteria where applicable. Furthermore, in line with central government norms, women candidates are exempted from paying application fees to encourage gender diversity in scientific research.
