Section Officer is a designation of BPS-17 and BPS-18. In BPS 19, one is called as Deputy Secretary (in ministries), as Director (in sub-organization/autonomous bodies, Information, POSTAL and in Foreign Service), as Deputy Collector (in Customs) and as Deputy Commissioner (in PAS/DMG/IRS/MLCG)

My father is a CSP, serving as a Joint Secretary (BPS-20) in Ministry of Science and Technology and his salary is around or at least 150k and my mother is earning the same in same designation but in Ministry of Food and Research: however 15,000 Rupees are added in her salary because she gets an additional research allowance. Things are more or less same. One should throw information with due care, ask the people who are willing to tell you the true things otherwise you would judge half things wrong and half right
