The total emoluments received in 2020 is Rs. 51400/- along with pay hike and allowances.

Basic pay on 01/01/2021 = 51400 + 51400* 3/100

= Rs. 52942/-     
          

The total emoluments received in 2021 is Rs. 52942/- along with pay hike upon previous year pay and allowances.  

Basic pay on 01/01/2022 = 52942 + 52942*3/100
