7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Compensation Structure

Junior Research Fellows (JRF) at IPRC, under ISRO/Department of Space, are governed by DST guidelines rather than standard 7th CPC Pay Matrix levels. The current fellowship is fixed at Rs 37,000 per month for the first two years, with an upgrade to Senior Research Fellow (SRF) at Rs 42,000 per month upon successful assessment. Dearness Allowance is not applicable to JRFs; however, House Rent Allowance (HRA) is provided based on the classification of the city of posting (X, Y, or Z) as per government norms. There is no standard Transport Allowance or NPS deduction applicable to fellowship positions, as these are contractual research roles. The gross monthly emolument includes the base fellowship plus applicable HRA. Net in-hand salary is typically the gross amount, as there are no mandatory statutory deductions like PF or NPS applicable to these specific research fellowships.

Statutory Reservation & Age Relaxation Guidelines

Recruitment at IPRC adheres to the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) guidelines regarding reservation. SC/ST candidates receive a 5-year age relaxation, while OBC-NCL candidates are granted 3 years. PwBD candidates are eligible for a 10-year age relaxation. The EWS category is provided a 10% vertical reservation in accordance with the 103rd Constitutional Amendment. While JRF positions are often project-specific, statutory rosters are maintained for institutional recruitment. Women candidates and those from reserved categories are frequently exempted from application fees where applicable. All relaxations are subject to the submission of valid, current-year certificates issued by competent authorities as per the prescribed government format.
