8th CPC Level 10 Salary — Expected Pay, Fitment & Posts
Level 10 of the 7th CPC pay matrix starts at ₹56,100 basic pay. Typical posts at this level include entry-level Group A officers — IAS/IPS/IFS probationers, assistant professors, medical officers, officers on probation. At the consensus fitment factor of 1.92x, the new 8th CPC basic for a Level 10 employee at the entry cell works out to approximately ₹107,710 — before DA reset, HRA and allowances are added. Existing employees map to the nearest cell at or above their current pay, so most Level 10 staff with increments will land somewhat higher than the entry figure.
