Step 3. Find the cell in the level determined in Step 2, which contains the amount equal to the figure determined in Step 1. If such cell is available amount containined in the said cell will be the basic pay of the employee. If no such Cell is available in the applicable Level, amount in the immediate next higher Cell will be the basic pay of the employee concerned.
