7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Compensation Structure

The Accountant position on a contractual basis at the National Institute of Social Defence (NISD) is aligned with the Level 6 pay scale of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC). The equivalent entry basic pay is set at Rs. 35,400 per month. With the current Dearness Allowance (DA) calculated at 53% (Rs. 18,762), House Rent Allowance (HRA) for Class X cities at 30% (Rs. 10,620), and Transport Allowance (TA) of Rs. 3,600 plus DA on TA (Rs. 5,508), the estimated gross monthly salary amounts to Rs. 70,290.

This structured compensation ensures parity with regular central government cadres while maintaining contractual flexibility.
