Tamil Nadu: OCTOBER INCREMENT -- PAY MATRIX

7th Pay Commission Pay Matrix specifically tailored for the October 2026 annual increment for Tamil Nadu state government employees and teachers. Government staff whose annual increment cycle falls on October 1st receive their revised basic pay according to this matrix.

Key Details of the Pay Matrix and Increment:

  • Increment Rate: Employees receive an annual financial progression of 3% on their basic pay.

  • Matrix Structure: The pay matrix consists of a "Horizontal Range" representing different pay levels (based on former grade pay) and a "Vertical Range" representing the steps of annual increments. Receiving an annual increment moves the employee one cell vertically downward within their current pay level.

  • Salary Scale: For Tamil Nadu government employees, the pay matrix comprises 32 levels. The minimum basic pay starts at ₹15,700 at Level-1, and the maximum basic pay reaches up to ₹2,25,000 at Level-32.

  • Fitment Factor: The 7th Pay Commission applied a uniform fitment factor of 2.57 to the 6th Pay Commission basic pay to calculate the revised basic salary.

For detailed tables and specific grade pay calculations, employees can track their exact revised gross pay, including Dearness Allowance (DA) and House Rent Allowance (HRA) adjustments for October.
