Salaries for SSC CGL posts are governed by the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) and are categorized into multiple Pay Levels, with the highest posts in Pay Level 8 and the lowest in Pay Level 4.

Post Example	Pay Level	Basic Pay (Entry)	Grade Pay (Pre-7th CPC)
Assistant Audit Officer (AAO)	Level-8	$₹47,600$	$₹4,800$
Inspector (Central Excise), ASO	Level-7	$₹44,900$	$₹4,600$
Divisional Accountant, JSO	Level-6	$₹35,400$	$₹4,200$
Auditor, Accountant	Level-5	$₹29,200$	$₹2,800$
Tax Assistant, UDC	Level-4	$₹25,500$	$₹2,400$

Key Allowances (in addition to Basic Pay):

Dearness Allowance (DA): Calculated as a percentage of Basic Pay, revised periodically.
House Rent Allowance (HRA): Varies based on the city classification: 27% (X cities - Metropolitan), 18% (Y cities - Large), or 9% (Z cities - Others) of Basic Pay.
Transport Allowance (TA): Varies based on the Pay Level and the class of city (Higher for X cities and Pay Levels 6 and above).

The final in-hand salary is the sum of Basic Pay and Allowances (DA, HRA, TA, etc.) minus statutory deductions (e.g., NPS, Income Tax).
