If you are currently in government job,  you must be aware about how to read pay scale. But for people who are looking for the government job, reading pay scale can be quite intimidating.

Though this is not that difficult once you know the procedure.  Lets take one example to understand this:

10,000 – 470/6-12820-500/3-14320-560/7-18240

Lets take it step by step:

1. Your initial salary will be 1000 Rs per month.
2. After one year, you will get an increment of 470 Rs every year for 6 years.  So after first year, your salary  will be 10000 + 470 = 10470 Rs per month.  After second year, your salary will be 10470 + 470 = 10940 Rs per month and so on.
3. So after 6 years, your salary will become 12820 per month.
4. Then you will get an increment of 500 Rs per year for 3 years.
5. So after these 3 years, you salary will become 14320  Rs. per month
6. Then increment of 560 Rs per year for 7 years
7. After these 7 years, your salary will be 18240 Rs per month.

So in general, it will 16 years for your salary to reach 18240 Rs per month.  Though this is minimum salary, you can get more depending on your performance or if you get promoted.
