7th CPC Pay Matrix Table
The 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Pay Matrix Table is a simplified and transparent system introduced by the Government of India for determining the pay of central government employees. It replaces the previous pay band and grade pay system. The matrix is a single table with horizontal levels representing the length of service (experience) and vertical index levels corresponding to functional hierarchy (pay level). It ensures uniformity, easy understanding, and predictable progression in salary, helping streamline pay revisions, promotions, and pension calculations
