Calculation of your Basic Pay after MACP or regular promotion using Pay matrix by 7th CPC

Suppose, Ms. ABC, who, after having been fixed in the Pay Matrix, is drawing a Basic Pay of Rs 28,700 in Level 4. She is upgraded to Level 5 (either regular promotion or through MACP). Then her salary will be fixed in the following manner: 

1. She will first be given one increment in her current Level 4 (to Rs 29,600 in this case). 
2. Then she will be placed in the Level 5 at a Level equal to or next higher compared to Rs 29,600, which comes to Rs 30,100 in this case.
