Ms. Shruti Sharma, working as Assistant Director in the Department of Economic Affairs, Delhi was drawing basic pay of Rs. 67,000 in pay matrix Level 10 w.e.f. 1.1.2023 with DNI on 1.7.2023.
She was promoted to the post of Deputy Director in pay matrix Level 11 w.e.f. 1.7.2023 retrospectively vide Office Order No. Estt.II/2023 dated 01.04.2024.
She opted to get her pay fixed from the date of next increment and his pay was fixed at the rate of Rupees 71,800 per month with date of next increment on 01.01.2024.
2. Rates of allowances:
(i) Dearness allowance @ 46% from 1.7.2023 to 31.12 2023 and @ 50% from 1.1.2024 onwards.
(ii) H R A @ 30% of basic pay.
(iii) Transport allowance @ Rs. 7,200 p.m. plus dearness allowance as admissible.
3. Calculate the net amount of arrear of pay and allowances from 1.7.2023 to 31.03.2024 payable to Ms. Shruti Sharma by preparing a due and drawn statement on MS-Excel and record the requisite certificate as required to be recorded on the arrear bill by the D.D.O.
Answer:
Certificate:
🎯 Situation:
Ms. Shruti Sharma was promoted on 01.07.2023
Her DNI (Date of Next Increment) was also 01.07.2023
She opted to have her pay fixed from the date of next increment, which is 01.07.2023
✅ What the Rules Say (Rule 13 of CCS Revised Pay Rules, 2016):
When promotion and DNI fall on the same date (e.g., 01.07.2023), the officer can opt for pay fixation under FR 22(I)(a)(1) from that same date — and is eligible for the increment first in the lower post, then fixation in the higher post.
🔁 So the steps are:
Grant increment in Level 10 (from ₹67,000 → ₹69,010 approx.)
Then fix pay in Level 11 at the next cell equal to or above ₹69,010
👉 In this case, the next cell is ₹71,800 in Level 11.Date of next increment (DNI) shifts to 01.01.2024 — as per Rule 10
✅ Summary:
Her pay was correctly fixed on 01.07.2023 at ₹71,800
Her next increment date shifts to 01.01.2024 (after 6 months) as per rule
This is rule-compliant and correct as per GOI orders
✅ Step 1: Set Up Headers for the Due & Drawn Statement
In a new sheet or starting from a new section, set up the following headers:
Cell = What to Type
A1 = Month
B1 = Pay Level
C1 = Basic Pay
D1 = Dearness Allowance (DA)
E1 = HRA
F1 = Transport Allowance
G1 = Total Pay (Due)
H1 = Total Pay (Drawn)
I1 = Arrear
These columns will help us compare what was due (based on revised pay) and what was actually drawn (based on old pay), and finally calculate the arrears.
✅ Step 2: Enter Month-wise Data Rows
We'll begin by entering months from July 2023 to March 2024.
In Cells A2 to A10, type:
Cell = What to Type
A2 = July 2023
A3 = August 2023
A4 = September 2023
A5 = October 2023
A6 = November 2023
A7 = December 2023
A8 = January 2024
A9 = February 2024
A10 = March 2024
🧮 Excel Entries for July 2023 (Row 2 as an example):
✅ Step 3: Corrected Row for July 2023 (Row 2)
Cell = What to Enter (Formula / Value) = Description
B2 = 11 = Pay Level (Revised)
C2 = 71800 = Basic Pay (Due)
D2 = =C2*46% = DA @ 46%
E2 = =C2*30% = HRA @ 30%
F2 = =7200 + 7200*46% or =7200*1.46 = TA with DA
G2 = =C2+D2+E2+F2 = Total Pay (Due)
H2 = =67000 + 67000*46% + 67000*30% + 7200*1.46 = Total Pay (Drawn) on old pay
I2 = =G2-H2 = Arrear
✅ Step 4: Fill Data for January to March 2024 (DA @ 50%)
Now for Rows 8 to 10 (Jan, Feb, Mar 2024), use the same structure — just update DA from 46% to 50%.
Let’s use Row 8 (January 2024) as an example:
Cell = What to Enter = Description
B8 = 11 = Pay Level (Revised)
C8 = 71800 = Basic Pay (Due)
D8 = =C8*50% or =C8*0.50 = DA @ 50%
E8 = =C8*30% = HRA @ 30%
F8 = =7200*1.50 or =7200 + 7200*50% = TA with DA
G8 = =C8+D8+E8+F8 = Total Pay (Due)
H8 = =67000 + 67000*50% + 67000*30% + 7200*1.50 = Total Pay (Drawn) on old pay
I8 = =G8-H8
Arrear
✅ Now, drag the formulas from Row 8 down to Row 10 (for Feb and Mar 2024).
✅ Step 5: Total Arrear & Certificate for DDO
➤ Total Arrear Calculation
In any empty cell (say I11), type:
Cell = What to Type = Purpose
I11 = =SUM(I2:I10) = This gives total arrear from July 2023 to March 2024
➤ DDO Certificate (as per format)
Scroll down to any empty row (say Row 13 or below) and type this in Cell A13 (merge across columns if needed):
Certified that the arrear amount of ₹__________ (as per above due & drawn statement) has been drawn correctly and is admissible under rules.

🏠 STEP 4: HRA Calculation (Exemption under Section 10(13A))
We’ll calculate least of the following three:
Actual HRA received
Rent paid – 10% of salary
50% of salary (for metro city like Delhi)
For now, add just input data here:
| A9 | HRA Paid | B9: =9000 | C9: =12 | D9: =B9*C9 = ₹1,08,000 |
💰 STEP 5: Add Other Income Components
Row = Cell A = Cell D
10 = Entertainment Allowance = =8000
11 = Medical Reimbursement = =20000
12 = Interest from Savings Account = =12000
🧾 STEP 6: Gross Income
| A13 | Gross Salary + Other Income
| D13 | =D4 + D8 + D9 + D10 + D11 + D12
📉 STEP 7: Deductions (80C, 80D, etc.) Section (Row 15 onwards)
We'll start a new section from Row 15 onward:
Row 15:
| A15 | Deductions under Chapter VI-A | Leave B–C blank |
Section 80C:
| A16 | NSC | D16: =25000 | | A17 | Tuition Fee (₹4000×12) | D17: =4000*12 | | A18 | Housing Loan Principal | D18: =50000 | | A19 | NPS Extra Contribution | D19: =25000 | | A20 | 80C Subtotal (Max ₹1.5L) | D20: =MIN(D16+D17+D18+D19,150000) |

| A28 | Total Deductions | D28: =D20+D21+D22+D23+D24+D25+D26+D27 |
📌 STEP 9: Net Taxable Income
| A30 | Net Taxable Income | D30: =D13-D28 |
🧮 STEP 11: Create Tax Slabs Section (Start from Row 32)
Row = Cell A = Cell D (Formula / Value)
32 = Tax Slab Calculation = (leave blank)
33 = Income up to ₹2,50,000 = =MIN(D30,250000)
34 = Income ₹2,50,001 – ₹5,00,000 = =IF(D30>250000, MIN(D30-250000,250000), 0)
35 = Income ₹5,00,001 – ₹10,00,000 = =IF(D30>500000, MIN(D30-500000,500000), 0)
36 = Income above ₹10,00,000 = =IF(D30>1000000, D30-1000000, 0)
🧾 STEP 12: Apply Tax Rates
Row = Cell A = Cell E (Tax)
33 = @0% = =D33*0
34 = @5% = =D34*5%
35 = @20% = =D35*20%
36 = @30% = =D36*30%
37 = Total Tax Before Rebate = =E33+E34+E35+E36
🎁 STEP 13: Rebate under Section 87A (If Income ≤ ₹5,00,000)
| A38 | Rebate u/s 87A (Max ₹12,500) |
| D38 | =IF(D30<=500000, MIN(12500,E37), 0)
💰 STEP 14: Tax Payable After Rebate
| A39 | Tax After Rebate |
| D39 | =E37-D38
🔢 STEP 15: Add 4% Health & Education Cess
| A40 | Cess @ 4% | D40: =D39*4% | | A41 | Total Tax Payable | D41: =D39+D40 |
✅ What’s Covered:
Accurate monthly salary breakup with DA changes & DNI.
Allowances (HRA, Entertainment, Medical, etc.)
HRA exemption structure as per Rule 2A (to be applied after calculating salary).
All relevant deductions:
80C (with ₹1.5 lakh cap)
80D (medical + CGHS)
80DD (disabled dependent)
80E (education loan)
80G (PM relief fund)
80TTA (savings interest)
House loan interest deduction under Section 24(b) (₹75,000)
Rebate u/s 87A included (up to ₹12,500 for income ≤ ₹5 lakh)
Tax slab calculation with correct rates:
0% up to ₹2.5 lakh
5% from ₹2.5 to ₹5 lakh
20% from ₹5 to ₹10 lakh
30% above ₹10 lakh
Health & Education Cess @ 4%
🔍 You just need to double-check one thing manually:
For HRA exemption under Section 10(13A), we need to compute least of the following:
Actual HRA received = ₹9,000 × 12 = ₹1,08,000
Rent paid – 10% of Salary (Basic + DA)
50% of Salary (since posted in Delhi)
To apply that accurately, you may want to create a small HRA section separately in the Excel sheet (I can help with that too).
