The Rajasthan 7th Pay Commission pay structure comes from the Rajasthan Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2017. The rules apply from 1 January 2016. Revised pay was paid in cash from 1 October 2017. No arrears were paid for 2016, and arrears for January–September 2017 were paid in three instalments (RCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2017, rules 1, 23 and 24). Confirmed
Use the calculator below to convert your pre-2016 pay (pay band + grade pay) into 7th pay basic, then read on for the current DA, HRA and MACP rules.

Calculation Summary
Note on the calculator: the "Revised Basic Pay" line multiplies (basic pay + grade pay) by 2.57, as in the Rules. It does not then move the figure to the next cell of the pay matrix, so your actual pay may be slightly higher. The gross salary uses the current Rajasthan rates: DA 60% from 1 January 2026 and HRA of 20% (Y class) or 10% (other places). It excludes other allowances and deductions.

ACP and MACP pay fixation calculator for Rajasthan: how it works
Rajasthan employees get three financial upgrades at 9, 18 and 27 years of regular service. ACP applied from 1 January 2016 to 31 March 2023. MACP applies from 1 April 2023. Confirmed
| Point | ACP (1.1.2016 – 31.3.2023) | MACP (from 1.4.2023) |
|---|---|---|
| Years | 9, 18, 27 | 9, 18, 27 |
| Level you move to | Immediate next higher level (with exceptions: L-5/L-6 → L-8, L-8 → L-10, L-13 → L-15) | Level of the next promotion post in your cadre; fixed table if there is none |
| Pay fixation | Benefit as on promotion (amended 26.07.2023) | One increment in present level, then the next cell in the MACP level |
| Who is covered | Class IV, Ministerial, Subordinate, isolated posts up to Level 13 (not State services) | Also State Services; not above L-20, not RMHS/RMES officers under DACP |
Worked example from the rules
MACP from L-5 to L-8: basic ₹27,100 in L-5 → one increment = ₹27,900 → next cell in L-8 = ₹28,700. (Rule 14(8), Illustration (i))
Note: Rajasthan uses the next cell, not the equal cell. So even though L-8 also has ₹27,900, pay is fixed at ₹28,700. Central MACP uses the equal or next higher cell, which is different. Confirmed
| No promotion post? Your level | MACP level |
|---|---|
| L-1 / L-2 / L-3 / L-4 | L-2 / L-3 / L-4 / L-5 |
| L-5, L-6, L-7 | L-8 |
| L-8, L-9 | L-10 |
| L-10 | L-12 (next promotion in State Service) or L-11 |
| L-11 | L-12 |
| L-12 | L-14 |
| L-13, L-14 | L-15 |
Had ACP and now MACP gives a higher level? Your pay was re-fixed from 1 April 2023 at the equal or next cell of the MACP level. Official example: L-13 ₹58,000 → L-14 ₹59,500. You also had an option (within three months) to keep the ACP level if better. Confirmed

Rajasthan ACP and MACP: FAQs
After how many years is ACP/MACP given in Rajasthan?
At 9, 18 and 27 years of regular service. MACP replaced ACP from 1 April 2023.
How is pay fixed on MACP in Rajasthan?
One increment in your present pay level, then the next cell in the MACP pay level. Example: L-5 ₹27,100 → ₹27,900 → L-8 ₹28,700.
Which pay level do I get on MACP in Rajasthan?
The level of the next promotion post in your cadre. If there is no promotion post or you lack the qualification, a fixed table applies, for example L-5 to L-8.
Is the Rajasthan ACP the same as central MACP?
No. Central MACP is at 10/20/30 years to the next matrix level with the equal or next higher cell. Rajasthan uses 9/18/27 years and the next cell.
Does this calculator work out ACP/MACP pay?
The calculator above fixes 7th pay from your old pay band and grade pay. Use the rule and examples in this section for ACP/MACP; check the final figure with your DDO.
How the 7th pay fixation works (Rule 7)
- Existing basic pay = pay in the running pay band + grade pay, as on 1 January 2016 (or the date you switched to the revised structure).
- Multiply by 2.57 and round to the nearest rupee.
- Find your Level (the Level for your grade pay is in the Rules' schedule) and take the cell equal to that figure, or the next higher cell. If the first cell of the Level is higher, you get the first cell.
Worked example from the Rules: pay in pay band ₹8,160 + grade pay ₹2,400 (GP No. 9B) = ₹10,560. ₹10,560 × 2.57 = ₹27,139. GP 2400 (9B) maps to Level 7, and the next cell at or above ₹27,139 is ₹27,600 (RCS (RP) Rules, 2017, Rule 7, illustration). Confirmed
Rajasthan's grade pays and Levels (L-1 to L-24) are not the same as the central pay matrix, so use the schedule in the Rajasthan Rules rather than central tables.
Current DA, HRA and other rates
| Item | Current rule | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Dearness Allowance (7th pay) | 60% of basic pay from 1 Jan 2026 (was 58%) | Confirmed FD order, 23 Apr 2026 |
| DA arrears Jan–Apr 2026 | Credited to GPF (GPF / GPF-2004 / GPF-SAB); cash from May 2026 salary paid on 1 Jun 2026 | Confirmed same order |
| HRA, Y-class cities | 20% of basic pay from 1 Nov 2024 (16% → 18% → 20%) | Confirmed FD order, 30 Oct 2024 |
| HRA, Z-class (all other places) | 10% of basic pay from 1 Nov 2024 (8% → 9% → 10%) | Confirmed same order |
| Y-class cities | Bikaner (M.Corpn.), Jaipur (M.Corpn.), Jodhpur (UA), Kota (M.Corpn.), Ajmer (UA) | Confirmed HRA Rules, Rule 5 |
"Basic pay" for DA and HRA means pay in your Level of the pay matrix only, not special or personal pay. Rates as on 14 October 2026; check for a newer DA order before use.
Example: monthly pay at today's rates
Basic pay ₹27,600, posted in Jaipur (Y class): DA 60% = ₹16,560; HRA 20% = ₹5,520; basic + DA + HRA = ₹49,680 a month, before other allowances and deductions. In a Z-class town HRA would be ₹2,760 and the total ₹46,920. Estimate

Frequently asked questions
What is the current DA for Rajasthan government employees?
60% of basic pay from 1 January 2026 for employees under the 7th pay rules (FD order of 23 April 2026). Confirmed If the centre announces its July 2026 instalment, Rajasthan usually issues its own order afterwards, so check the Finance Department for anything newer.
From which date did the Rajasthan 7th pay apply?
From 1 January 2016 on paper (notional), with cash payment from 1 October 2017. No arrears were paid for 2016. Confirmed
What HRA do I get in Jaipur?
20% of basic pay, because Jaipur is a Y-class city. Places outside the five Y-class cities get 10%. Confirmed
Why does my pay slip differ from the calculator?
Common reasons: the calculator does not move your pay to the next matrix cell; its gross-salary line uses old example rates; increments, MACP and promotions since 2016 are not included; and allowances and deductions differ by post.
Is the 8th Pay Commission applicable to Rajasthan employees?
Not directly. The 8th CPC covers central government staff. States usually adopt central recommendations later, with changes. See 8th Pay Commission for state employees.
