Dear members, being a govt servant of grade 17, I also want to give my input. Someone has rightly pointed out the basic salary which is till now Rs.9850. The increment which has been announced in recent budget will add Rs.6402 to the salary and collectively the salary will hover around 25,000 rupees inclusive of all allowances.
At AJ007:
Dear you might be earning 25+ atleast as you are working in a corporate firm with an engineering degree. But people who aspire to become CSPs, they should be well aware of the pay structure of govt beforehand as there is no comparison of public and private sector. But the honor and prestige that one enjoys in Govt service is never even in sight in private sector plus the social recognition which a govt servant enjoys in his social circle.
These words totally belonged to me and one may disagree
