Working it out…

How this is worked out

We place your basic pay on its stage in the 12th BPS scale, move it up one stage for JAIIB and two for CAIIB, and work out the whole month’s pay both ways: basic, Special Allowance, DA at 31.33% (November 2026 to January 2027), the Learning or Transport Allowance, and HRA. The difference is what the exam adds.

For the total until 60, both paths move up one stage a year until the top of the scale; officers who reach the top with JAIIB/CAIIB then get PQP. DA is held at today’s rate, so the real total will be higher as DA rises.

12th BPS pay scales used. Clerical ₹24,050 to ₹64,480 (20 stages). Scale I ₹48,480 to ₹85,920; Scale II ₹64,820 to ₹93,960; Scale III ₹85,920 to ₹1,05,280; Scale IV ₹1,02,300 to ₹1,20,940; Scale V ₹1,20,940 to ₹1,35,020; Scale VI ₹1,40,500 to ₹1,56,500; Scale VII ₹1,56,500 to ₹1,73,860.

Questions bankers ask

How many increments do I get for JAIIB and CAIIB?

From 1 November 2022 (12th Bipartite Settlement and 9th Joint Note), both clerks and officers get one increment for passing JAIIB and two increments for passing CAIIB. Before that, CAIIB gave one increment.

Is the increment just the step in basic pay?

No. A higher basic also raises your Special Allowance (26.50% to 31.50% of basic, by scale), the DA on both, HRA, PF and, for NPS members, the bank’s 14% share. That is why the monthly gain is larger than the increment amount itself.

What if I am already at the top of my scale?

An increment cannot be added beyond the top. Officers then get Professional Qualification Pay: ₹1,370 a month (PQP-I), and with CAIIB ₹3,425 (PQP-II) and ₹5,480 (PQP-III) in later years. If you qualify after reaching the top, the first instalment starts from the date you qualify.

Do I lose the increments on promotion?

No. On promotion your JAIIB/CAIIB increments are taken out to fix your pay in the higher scale, and then added back in the new scale. The benefit carries forward. Try the promotion pay calculator.

From when is the increment paid?

Generally from the date the result is declared or as your bank’s circular states, once you submit the certificate. Check your bank’s HR circular for the exact date of effect.
