Tripura government employees
Tripura has its own pay structure: the 'Tripura State Pay Matrix 2018' (21 levels) under the Tripura State Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2017, as amended in 2018. On an Expert Committee's advice the revision took effect from 1 October 2018, raising the fitment factor generally to 2.57, with adjustments to keep parity with the 7th CPC; minimum pay is Rs 18,000 (Finance Department notification No. F.7(2)-FIN(PC)/2018, 11 October 2018).

DA for Tripura government employees: 44% from 1 October 2026. Source 3% was added to the 41% that applied from 1 April 2026 (memorandum of 16 March 2026). Tripura releases DA on its own dates (1 April and 1 October). It is paid on Tripura's own pay matrix, so it cannot be compared directly with the central 60%. Tripura pays DA on its own pay scales, so this rate cannot be compared with the central rate.
Order: Finance Department Memorandum No. F.5(1)-FIN(PC)/2021/931-1130 dated 7 Oct 2026: a further 3%, taking DA from 41% to 44% of basic pay w.e.f. 1.10.2026
Next pay revision for state employees: We found no official order on a new pay commission for Tripura employees. News reports say the Finance Minister told the Assembly on 27 August 2026 that preparations to form a pay commission had begun.
Central government employees in Tripura
Central staff get the same pay matrix and DA everywhere. HRA and transport allowance depend on the city of the office:
No city in Tripura is in the X or Y list, so central government HRA here is the Z rate: 10% of basic pay today (at least ₹1,800).
