Frequently Asked Questions
As of January 2026, the Dearness Allowance (DA) for central government employees including KVS and NVS teachers is 53% of basic pay. State government rates vary by state.
Private school teacher salaries are set by school management and are not bound by the pay commission matrix. However, most states mandate that private schools pay at least the minimum wage or a percentage of government pay scales.
Common deductions include NPS (10% of Basic+DA), Income Tax (as per slab), Professional Tax (state-specific), and sometimes Group Insurance Scheme contributions.
DA is revised twice a year — in January and July. The revision is based on the All India Consumer Price Index (AICPI) average over the preceding 12 months.
