With the Dearness Allowance (DA) currently set at 53% (amounting to Rs. 11,501), the salary structure is highly competitive. For Class Y cities (such as Tirupati), the House Rent Allowance (HRA) is calculated at 20% of the basic pay, yielding Rs. 4,340. Transport Allowance (TA) is structured at Rs. 1,800 plus DA on TA, totaling Rs. 2,754. This brings the Gross Monthly Salary to approximately Rs. 40,295. Deductions under the National Pension System (NPS) at 10% of Basic plus DA (Rs. 3,320), alongside minor contributions for CGHS and GIS, total roughly Rs. 3,600.
