7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Compensation Structure

The cancelled recruitment for the Maharashtra State Human Rights Commission (MSHRC) was positioned at Level S-14 of the Maharashtra Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, equivalent to Level 7 of the 7th CPC (Entry Basic Pay of INR 44,900). Had the recruitment proceeded, the gross monthly salary would have incorporated Dearness Allowance (DA) at the current 53% rate (INR 23,797), House Rent Allowance (HRA) for Class X cities at 30% (INR 13,470), and Transport Allowance (TA) of INR 3,600 plus DA thereon (INR 5,508). This would culminate in a Gross Monthly Salary of approximately INR 87,675. After statutory deductions, including the National Pension System (NPS) contribution of 10% of Basic plus DA (INR 6,870) and Professional Tax (INR 200), the estimated net in-hand salary would have been INR 80,605. Due to the official cancellation of this recruitment cycle, these pay structures remain suspended for the current fiscal year.

Statutory Reservation & Age Relaxation Guidelines

In accordance with the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) and State Government guidelines, the original recruitment incorporated statutory reservations: SC/ST (5 years age relaxation), OBC (3 years), and PwBD (10 years), alongside a 10% vertical quota for EWS. Following the official cancellation of the recruitment by the MSHRC Authority, all reserved category candidates, including women who were granted fee concessions, are entitled to a full 100% refund of their application fees. The cancellation process strictly adheres to non-discriminatory administrative protocols, ensuring that refund processing is prioritized equally across all social and vertical reservation categories.
