For Example.
The scale of an employee is Rs 5200-20200 & grade pay Rs 1800
Now coming to your question,
Basic pay = 5200-3%-20200
Grade pay =1800
It means your salary will be calculated as
(Basic + grade pay)+DA+HRA+MA (Misc. Allowance)
Presently, DA is around 110%, HRA may vary from 10% to 30% and MA can vary widely.
Here I'm assuming DA=110% HRA=20% MA=40%
Gross monthly salary
= (5200+1800)+(7000*1.10)+(7000*0.2)+(7000*0.4)
= 18900
Your net salary (that is your in hand salary) will be a little less due to PPF and other deductions. It is about 15-20% roughly. So net salary will be around Rs.16000 per month.
In this way grade pay is uesd. Hope you are clear.
