7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Compensation Structure

The Assistant Legal and Defense Counsel role under the Indore Authority typically aligns with Level 7 of the 7th CPC Pay Matrix, with an entry basic pay of 44,900 INR. At the current 53 percent Dearness Allowance (DA), the monthly DA component is 23,797 INR. For Class Y cities like Indore, HRA is calculated at 18 percent of basic pay, amounting to 8,082 INR. Including a Transport Allowance of 3,600 INR plus applicable DA on TA, the gross monthly salary approximates 80,800 INR. After mandatory NPS deductions of 10 percent of basic plus DA (6,870 INR) and professional tax, the estimated in-hand salary ranges between 72,000 and 73,500 INR.
