Annual Increment for Bihar Government Employees
Every Bihar state government employee receives an annual increment in basic pay on their Increment Due Date (IDD). Under the 7th Pay Commission which Bihar has adopted, the increment rate is 3% of current basic pay, rounded to the next pay matrix cell. Most employees have July 1 as their IDD.
For employees who joined between February 2 and August 1, the first increment falls on July 1 of the following year. For those joining between August 2 and February 1, the first increment is on January 1 of the next year. Your complete increment history is visible in the HRMS Bihar portal. To access it, first use the guide to access HRMS Bihar portal login page.
