The Unified Pay and Determination Framework (UPDF) salary structure 2022 is a major overhaul of the existing salary structure of the Central Government, which was last revised in 2006. This new salary structure, which is likely to come into effect from April 1, 2022, is an important step taken by the Government of India to ensure uniformity in salaries across the Central Government. The main objective of the new salary structure is to provide better pay and benefits to the Central Government employees, while ensuring that the salary structure remains competitive and market-linked.
Under the UPDF salary structure 2022, the Central Government has classified its employees into four major categories, namely Group A, Group B, Group C, and Group D. Each of these categories has a different salary grade and scale, which will be applicable to all the Central Government employees.
Group A employees will be the highest-paid category and will get the highest salary grade and scale. Group A employees will be entitled to the highest pay scale, which will range from Rs. 1,44,200 to Rs. 2,09,200 per month. Group A employees will also be eligible for various allowances, such as house rent allowance, dearness allowance, city compensatory allowance, and other special allowances.
Group B employees will have a salary grade and scale ranging from Rs. 78,800 to Rs. 1,44,200 per month. Group B employees will also be entitled to various allowances, such as house rent allowance, dearness allowance, and city compensatory allowance.
Group C employees will be entitled to a salary grade and scale ranging from Rs. 56,000 to Rs. 78,800 per month. Group C employees will also be eligible for various allowances, such as house rent allowance, dearness allowance, and city compensatory allowance.
Group D employees will be entitled to the lowest salary grade and scale, which will range from Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 56,000 per month. Group D employees will also be eligible for various allowances, such as house rent allowance, dearness allowance, and city compensatory allowance.
In addition to the above-mentioned salary structure, the Central Government has also introduced a new category of employees called the C-level employees. C-level employees will be entitled to the highest pay scale and will be eligible for various allowances, such as house rent allowance, dearness allowance, and city compensatory allowance.
The UPDF salary structure 2022 is expected to bring in a much-needed parity in the salaries of the Central Government employees, while ensuring that the salary structure remains competitive and market-linked. This new salary structure is likely to come into effect from April 1, 2022 and will be applicable to all the Central Government employees.
