Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is the current DA rate for WB Employees?
A: Effective from 1st April 2026, the Dearness Allowance (DA) for West Bengal State Government employees is 22%. Our calculator defaults to this new rate but allows you to modify it manually if needed.
Q: How does the 10/20 Years Benefit work?
A: Instead of moving one step down the pay matrix like a normal yearly increment, eligible employees completing 10 or 20 years of continuous satisfactory service move two steps down the pay matrix, resulting in a higher financial benefit.
Q: Is HRA calculated on the old or new basic pay?
A: House Rent Allowance (12%) is always calculated on your revised (new) basic pay after the increment is applied, subject to a maximum ceiling of ₹12,000 per month.
Example Scenario for Pensioners (April 2026 Update)
Suppose you’re a pensioner calculating a step-up benefit, with a current basic pension (pay) of ₹17,000. You opt for a normal increment calculation, No HRA (as pensioners do not receive House Rent Allowance), normal MA (₹500), no NPA, and zero GPF deduction. The calculator will instantly show:
