Under the implementation of the 7th CPC (Central Pay Commission), the basic pay for SSC CGL posts starts at ₹25,500 for Pay Level 4 and rises substantially depending on the post, pay level and place of posting. 

The salary structure varies significantly based on the pay level assigned to the post.
