DSSSB TGT Salary: Level 7 Pay, DA at 60%, HRA and In-Hand Estimate

ProSyllabus is an independent study site. We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board, the Directorate of Education or the New Delhi Municipal Council. Every rule below is quoted or summarised from their published documents, and every sum or ratio is labelled as our own arithmetic. We print no candidate names or roll numbers.

Each post entry has one line on pay: "44,900 - 1,42,400/- (Pay Level - 7), Group: 'B' (Non-Ministerial, Non-Gazetted)". That is the whole official statement of pay in Advertisement 02/2024. It is identical for the Directorate of Education and NDMC, for men and women, and for all eight subjects. The Drawing Teacher, who shares the advertisement, is in the same level. The advertisement gives no allowance rates, no probation period and no pension rule, and DSSSB, which recruits, is not the employer: those come from the user department's rules and from Delhi Government and central orders. The table below separates what the printed line establishes from what it does not.

Take the entry basic of Rs 44,900. Dearness allowance at 60 per cent is Rs 26,940. House rent allowance is a percentage of basic: 30 per cent (Rs 13,470) in an X-class city, 20 per cent (Rs 8,980) in a Y-class city and 10 per cent (Rs 4,490) in a Z-class city, rates that apply once DA crosses 50 per cent under the Department of Expenditure order of 7 July 2017. Transport allowance for Levels 3 to 8 is reported as Rs 3,600 plus DA in the higher-TPTA cities and Rs 1,800 plus DA elsewhere; we did not check whether Delhi is on the higher-TPTA list, and we did not open the Delhi order on HRA classes. The table adds the three combinations up so you can see the spread; the calculator below lets you choose.

Dearness allowance is the biggest allowance by far: in the X-class case DA adds 60 per cent of basic, which is more than HRA and transport together. It moves twice a year. The latest rate in an official document we could read is 60 per cent from 1 January 2026, from the Department of Expenditure order of 22 April 2026 (an increase from 58 per cent); the 1 July 2026 revision had not been issued in anything we could open by 7 October 2026. When it is, every figure on this page that includes DA moves.

At the entry basic, one percentage point of DA is Rs 449 on basic and Rs 36 on the Rs 3,600 transport allowance, so Rs 485 in the X-class case (our arithmetic). The table shows a what-if for the gross at a few DA rates. These are not forecasts: they are the same formula at different DA values, so you can see the direction of the next revision when it is announced.

One note on HRA: the 30, 20 and 10 per cent rates were set by the 2017 order for the point at which DA crosses 50 per cent. They do not change with each DA step, so a DA move leaves HRA where it is. That is why the table above changes only the DA lines.

The advertisement states no deduction, so any in-hand figure rests on assumptions about your terms. The common deductions on a government teacher's pay slip are a pension contribution, medical or health-scheme contribution, any group insurance, professional tax where it applies, and income tax. We have not read the Delhi Government or DoE rules on which pension scheme applies to a teacher appointed under this advertisement, and we do not assert one. If you are under a defined-contribution scheme in which the employee pays 10 per cent of basic plus DA, the entry deduction would be Rs 7,184 a month (10 per cent of Rs 44,900 plus Rs 26,940, our arithmetic), which would take the X-class gross of Rs 91,070 to about Rs 83,886 before medical, any other deduction and tax. That is an illustration of the arithmetic, not a statement that the deduction applies to you; the calculator below starts with zero deductions so you enter your own.
