1. Complete Guide to Salary Terms in English & Telugu (జీతం పదాల పూర్తి వివరణ)
Every Andhra Pradesh government employee's monthly salary statement is divided into two main sections: Gross Earnings (స్థూల ఆదాయం) and Deductions (మినహాయింపులు). Below is the detailed meaning and calculation formula for every term used in the calculator, explained in both English and Telugu.
A. Earnings Components (ఆదాయ వివరాలు — Gross Salary)
English: Basic Pay is the fixed core salary assigned to your post under the AP 11th Pay Revision Commission (PRC) Master Scale, ranging from ₹20,000 (Stage 1) to ₹1,79,000 (Stage 83). Every year, employees receive one annual increment moving them to the next stage.
English: Dearness Allowance (DA) is a cost-of-living adjustment allowance paid to government employees to offset inflation. It is revised twice a year (January and July) and calculated as a direct percentage of your Basic Pay.
English: HRA is paid based on the geographical population slab of your workplace location (Rural: 10%, Mandal/Municipality: 12%, District HQ: 16%, Metro/Specified Cities: 24%). Under AP 11th PRC rules, 16% HRA is capped at ₹17,000 and 24% HRA is capped at ₹25,000.
English: Gross Salary is the total monthly earnings before any mandatory government deductions or taxes are subtracted. It combines Basic Pay, DA, HRA, and any special allowances (like FTA, Special Pay, or PH Allowance).
B. Deductions Components (కోతలు / మినహాయింపుల వివరాలు)
English: Employees appointed on or after September 1, 2004 are covered under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS / NPS), where exactly 10% of (Basic Pay + DA) is deducted monthly, and the government matches an equal 10%. Employees appointed prior to 01-09-2004 subscribe to GPF (General Provident Fund).
English: Andhra Pradesh Government Life Insurance (APGLI) is a mandatory life insurance cum savings scheme for state employees. Subscription slabs are fixed based on your current Basic Pay band, though employees can voluntarily enhance their premium up to 20% of Basic Pay.
English: Group Insurance Scheme (GIS) provides low-cost insurance cover and a savings fund to state employees. The calculator automatically updates your GIS unit contribution (₹15, ₹30, ₹60, or ₹120) whenever you change your Basic Pay stage.
English: Employee Health Scheme (EHS) provides cashless medical treatment to AP government employees and their dependent family members across network hospitals. The monthly deduction is either ₹225 or ₹300 depending on your Basic Pay slab.
English: Professional Tax is a state-level tax levied on salaried individuals based on monthly Gross Salary. In Andhra Pradesh, Gross Salary up to ₹15,000 is exempt (₹0), ₹15,001 to ₹20,000 attracts ₹150, and above ₹20,000 attracts ₹200 per month.
English: Net Salary is the final amount credited directly to your bank account on the 1st of every month after subtracting all mandatory deductions (CPS/GPF, PT, APGLI, GIS, EHS, Income Tax, and Society/Bank Loans) from your Gross Salary.
