What counts as "business days": Monday-Friday, excluding national holidays. Messages sent on weekends or holidays will be addressed on the next business day.
Save time (yours and ours) by checking these resources first:
Most calculators have accompanying guides or help text explaining how they work, what inputs are required, and how to interpret results. Click the information icon or "How it works" link on the calculator page.

If calculator matches official formula but not your actual pay, the issue is with your department's implementation, not our calculator.
✅ Be Specific: "HRA calculator shows Rs. 28,800 but my pay slip shows Rs. 27,000" is better than "HRA calculator is wrong."
✅ Include Details: State your employment type (central/state govt, ministry/department, Group A/B/C), pay level, basic pay, and any special circumstances.
✅ Provide Context: If asking about an order, include order number and date. If comparing with pay slip, mention the pay slip month.
✅ One Issue Per Message: If you have multiple unrelated questions, send separate messages. This helps us track and respond more efficiently.
✅ Be Courteous: Our team genuinely wants to help. Polite, clear messages get faster, more helpful responses than demanding or rude ones.
2-3 business days for most inquiries. Urgent bug reports affecting calculator core functionality receive response within 24-48 hours. Complex technical questions requiring research may take 3-5 days.
Weekend/holiday messages are addressed on next business day. If you haven't heard back within 5 business days, check your spam folder or resend your message — emails occasionally get lost.
No. We provide calculators and general information, but we cannot officially verify your salary. Our calculators show estimates based on standard rules. Your actual salary depends on your specific service record, department-specific rules, and any adjustments or recoveries.
For official verification: Contact your Pay & Accounts Office with your pay slip and service record. They have access to your actual payroll data and can explain discrepancies.
No. We cannot intervene in employer-employee disputes or grievances. We're an independent information website, not part of government administration or employee unions.
For salary disputes: Raise written complaint with PAO → Escalate to grievance cell → Contact employee union → Consult employment lawyer if unresolved. Our calculators can help you understand whether you're entitled to something, but enforcement requires official channels.

All users receive the same level of support regardless of status. Our focus is improving the free public calculators that serve 500K+ government employees monthly.
We can share our understanding, but not authoritative interpretation. If two orders seem to conflict:
But we're not official government representatives. For authoritative interpretation, file RTI or written query to issuing department.
