January 2025 DA Calculator (55% Confirmed!)Non Practicing Allowance: 7th Pay Commission Recommendations
As per the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, new rates of Non Practicing Allowance (NPA) for doctors have been announced. The NPA, which is an allowance granted to medical professionals who do not practice medicine, will now be equivalent to 20 percent of their Basic Pay. This recommendation by the Commission is aimed at recognizing the importance of medical professionals in the healthcare system and providing them with adequate compensation for their services. With this new announcement, doctors can expect a significant increase in their earnings, thereby improving their standard of living.
Non-Practising Allowance
As per the notification that was issued on May 18th, 1962, an amendment was made in Fundamental Rules No. 9 (25), which resulted in Non-Practising Allowance being granted to doctors in lieu of their private practice. This allowance was introduced as a means of compensating doctors for the loss of income that they would have otherwise incurred if they were not allowed to practice privately. The allowance is granted to doctors who are employed in government hospitals and healthcare centres, and it is calculated based on their salary and the number of years that they have been in service. This policy has helped to ensure that doctors are incentivized to provide high-quality care to their patients, without having to worry about the financial implications of not being able to practice privately.
Rate of Non-Practicing Allowance
According to the revised rates of Non-Practicing Allowance for Doctors as per 7th Pay Commission, doctors will receive an allowance that is equal to 20 percent of their Basic Pay. This allowance is given to doctors who do not engage in any private practice outside of their regular work hours, and it is intended to compensate them for their dedication to their profession and their commitment to providing healthcare services to the public.
NPA in 6th CPC 25% of Basic Pay
Non Practicing Allowance (NPA), at the rate of 25 percent of Basic Pay, is paid to medical doctors occupying posts for which minimum qualification of a medical degree is prescribed. There are demands to raise this allowance to 40 percent of Basic Pay.
7th CPC Analysis and Recommendations
The VI CPC had included a detailed rationale for the grant of NPA in its recommendations. Most of the reasons are still valid and there is no need to reiterate them here.
However, in line with our general approach of rationalizing the percentage based allowances by a factor of 0.8, we recommend that NPA should be paid at the rate of 20 percent of Basic Pay, subject to the condition that Basic Pay + NPA should not exceed the average of Apex Level and the level of Cabinet Secretary.
Currently, in the case of those drawing either NPA or MSP or both, the amounts of NPA/MSP are included with the Basic Pay and HRA is being paid as a percentage of the total amount.
The Commission recommends that HRA should be calculated as a percentage of Basic Pay only and that add-ons like NPA, MSP, etc. should not be included while working out HRA. (7th CPC Report para 8.7.16).

on 1 July 2021 I was getting BP 109100+20% NPA, DA, HRA and other allowances in level 12
My promotion to next was due from 19.07.2021 in level 13
Please inform regarding my pay fixation in level 13 after promotion.
It is also requested kindly provide the calculation sheet of fixation
If you are not got 4th upgradations of basic pay, give increment option from January 22 then 112400 in MATRIX LEVEL 12 & from January increment as on 1-1-2023 as 123100 in MATRIX LEVEL 13.
Sir, if opt your suggestion. it will gives me a huge loss, b,cos the pay fixation on my date of promotion will be 123100 and in July 2022 I got next cell.
My colleagues (non medico)-biochemistry) in the same institute was getting in 2021 91400 and got the promotion. the salary has been fixed at 123100.
He was 5 cell behind to me but after promotion the cell of me and him become same.
He got the the increment of Rs. 31700 in his basic salary while I am getting on Rs. 14000 in my basic salary..
It is huge difference in the increment of basic salary. simultaneously he also come in the same cell on the promotion.
Since you got the increment before promotion you will be get promotional increment only on 7/23 you’re getting 6 months earlier it will be useful at the time of retirement benefits. If your retirement is in between January to June you will not get retirement benefits of last increment.
NPA should be treated as pay in all service matter except seniority calculation of allotment of quarter. we hope govt will allow DA&HRA on NPA.this is required to be mentained for the shake of DOCTORS considering their devotion to the field of health management.
One should not have capping of pay, as npa is a special pay for doctors who works round the clock in stringent and in very hard to reach areas. And also NPA is a part pay should be calculated for with basics for all purposes till pension benefits
Government doctors should get 50%n.P.a to and other benifits otherwise doctors will not take any job in central government.
oh really how many officers do night duties ???? without any leave on Saturday or Sunday ?
Stop praising doctors unnecessarily. All other govt officers nd officials are also working hard in their respective departments.
Kindly make npa as optional. Otherwise include it in basic. How jealous people sitting in upper position about doctor salary.
In private sector doctor are paid very high. That’s the reason nobody wants to serve government.
On an average a government doctor will see 70 patients per day some times even more. Just calculate 100 rupees per patient(consultation fee in private minimum 200 rupees) amount ll be more than 2 lakhs.
That’s the reason government doctors frustrated. The people treat government doctors like slaves. They scold n beat doctors.
Doctors are under tremendous tension and stress. They are prone to get comorbid illness early compared to other people because of stress. Don’t be a business man in extracting work from government doctors. Kindly pay to the work wat they do. We are not begging for it. It’s our rites kindly provide wat we deserve.
Calculate the number of hours nd see the working conditions under which a doctor has to work
Then decide NPA
DOCTOR are least paid according to their hardship
On one hand the basic pay is hiked on the other hand allowance which is part of basic pay i.e NPA is reduced. Means a part of the basic pay is being reduced by 20%.
And very contradictory is that part of basic pay will not be taken into consideration while calculating HRA.
NPA is paid to doctors only. And this shows biased attitude of beurocrats against doctors.
Civil services personnel get so many allowances which no one else in service gets. Thereis never a cut in that .
How can the commission reduce the basic pay of doctors….
Doctors are selected after competition and then study minimum 6 to…… years continuously. For this they spend lot of money and time, thereafter they are on call for 24 hrs., govt. should look in favor of them also .
i am agreed , doctor himself see and managed the patient.he is responsible for his management not like other profession he spend lots of time in medical college as compared to other.every one know that .today we are survived and happiness is all due to dedicated doctor.
Top most students become doctors, left out become all other including, secretaries, politician and in the end they want all the facilities for themself including free vehicle for fetching their families and servants. No facility for doctors, no vehicle for doctors, no good accomodation, no servant, when they r doing night duties and emergencies because they are not beaurocrates. Even a 12th pass DSP after promotion get cook in police deptt.
Why do people hat doctors? If a doctor is superspecialist he needs to study a minimum of 11-12 years if he is good at his job & you people want them to serve why the senior most specialist should not draw the pay more than the cabinet secretary.
