IAS.. so what.. whats your SALARY dude??

2013-02-13T14:06:00.000-08:00

Alluring Red Beacon

What is the Total Starting Salary of an IAS ?

You want to know how much total money they get after joining the service. It is difficult to understand all this jargons: Pay Band, Grade Pay etc.
Now, this total pay is changeable with time. At this moment(After 6th Pay commission new scale) the total payment of an IAS recruit can be roughly estimated as below:

Basic Pay: Rs 23,640
D.A. (@65%): Rs 15,366
H.R.A.(@30%): Rs 7,092
T.A.: 5,280

Total: Rs 51,378 (This is the time of training and learning. The new recruit is placed into a two years probation period. After that he is posted as a SDM ( Sub Divisional Magistrate ), also known as SDO or Sub-Collector.)

PLUS Other facilities such as -

If you compare this job with a Top Private Sector one, you may find out some very good facilities and perks -
1) An IAS is often given a superb accommodation, usually a Big Bungalow with its own Security guards, Gardeners, Servants and Cooks. All of these are given to him for a very low rent.
2) He gets government cars, usually with Red lights.
3) He also gets the facilities of free electricity and telephone bills.4) During official travels for duty they get the accommodation in very good Government Bungalows and Rest houses.
5) Power and prestige is the greatest perks for an IAS.
6) The security of the job is much more than that of a lucrative private sector job. In fact, it is very, very tough even for a chief minister to terminate an IAS officer’s job. They have their legal safe guards against that.
7) They can apply for a study leave for 2 to 4 years in a reputed foreign university, the cost of which will be paid by the government.
8) They shall get life time pensions and other retirement benefits.There are many more about these facilities and perks. It is impossible for a big private sector employee to get such.
9) Perks of an IAS in PSU's:
IAS officers looking after the affairs of public sector companies enjoy all the benefits that regular PSU employees are entitled to in addition to benefits meant for IAS officers only. This is called having your cake and eating it too.
Any direct comparison between the IAS salaries and compensation offered in the Private sector will be unfair to say the least as IAS officers receive many perks, facilities and other benefits that are hard to quantify. For instance as already stated above IAS officers get rent free accommodation or accommodation with only a token rent, official vehicle, house help, free electricity and other such facilities that drain the pockets of private executives. Also as an IAS officer if you are heading some PSU then you are entitled to the same benefits as other employees of the PSU. This is an added bonus of the IAS.

Moreover, an IAS is behind the formation and implementation of the policies of the Central and the various State Governments. You can work for the good of the people and this is the greatest perk among all.

Maximum Salary of a Bureaucrat as of 6th Pay -
The Maximum Salary of an IAS officer:
The highest salary is drawn by the Cabinet Secretary among the IAS. He gets Rs.90,000 fixed as basic pay. Fixed means he shall not get any increments.

His estimated Salary is as follows:
Basic Pay: Rs 90,000
D.A : Rs 58,500
HRA: Rs 27,000
T.A.: Rs 5,280

Total: Rs 1,80,780 (This salary may increase with the increment of DA.)

Pay Scales
In government services in India Pay Scales is not the total salary. It only indicates the minimum and maximum basic pay of an employee. The IAS are promoted to total four pay scales according to service seniority. These five scales are named as Junior Scale, Senior Time Scale, Junior Administrative Grade , Selection Grade and Super Time Scale.

Junior Scale:Payband:-:15,600–39,100:-:Gradepay:Rs5,400
In Junior Scale the new recruit joins at the payband 3, that is, Rs: 15,600 – 39,100.
In addition he gets a Grade Pay of Rs 5400. This is the time of training and learning. The new recruit is placed into a two years probation period. After that he is posted as a SDM ( Sub Divisional Magistrate ), also known as SDO or Sub-Collector.

Senior Time Scale:
After , at least 5 years of service the IAS is promoted to Senior Time Scale at the payband of 15,600-39,100 and a grade pay of Rs. 6600. At that period he may be posted as a District Magistrate (DM) or Collector or a Joint Secretary of a Government ministry.

Junior Administrative Grade:-:Payband: 15,600-39,100 :-:Grade Pay:7,600
The IAS may hope to be promoted to this scale after 9 years of service. He will get the posts of special secretary and various Head of the Government Departments.

Selection Grade:Payband:-:37,400-67,000:-:Gradepay:Rs 8,700
This grade needs a minimum of 12-15 years in the service. The officer will now get the post of a Secretary to a ministry.

Super Time Scale:-:Payband:37,400-67,000:-:Gradepay: Rs 8,700
After completing a minimum 17 to 20 years of service the officer gets the Super Time Scale salary. He becomes Principal Secretary of a very important department of the government.
Above Super timescale:

A limited number of bright individuals are selected for above Super Time Scales (Payband: 37,400-67,000 and Grade Pay: 12,000).
The highest basic salary is Rs. 80,000 (fixed) for an IAS. Only the central Cabinet Secretary is given the Basic salary of Rs. 90,000 (fixed).

---------------------------------

Apparently 50K salary job can disappoint few brilliant minds(so called Brain Drains) of this Nation, they might not get intimidated by the PERKS, still there are many Brilliants who will get attracted to this coveted and most desired Job - for few reasons such as - Diverse opportunity the job offers, Self satisfaction, to become so called People in power, Serve the Nation and the people and many more...

Readers.. Please share your thoughts.. why do you want to be in this coveted Job and Largest Employer(The Biggest MNC) ???

Confusion IAS Vs. IFS

2010-12-24T13:47:00.000-08:00

Here i have not compared rather tried to get to know more about IFS.

IFS - Indian Foreign Service - It is the body of career diplomats of India.

Training:

Training begins at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussourie, after which the probationers join the Foreign Service Institute in New Delhi for more training as well as attachments with different government bodies and tours both in India and abroad. The entire training programme is for a period of 36 months. At the conclusion of the training programme the officer is assigned a compulsory foreign language (CFL). After a brief period of desk attachment in the Ministry of External Affairs, the officer is posted to an Indian diplomatic mission abroad where the CFL is the native language. There the officer undergoes language training and is expected to develop proficiency in his CFL and pass an examination before being allowed to continue in the service.

Things that may attract you:

First of all could be - Challenging Job. Foreign service life is exciting, rewarding and it can be fun. Diplomats are treated great overseas - is it Luxurious life - it could be. You'll do things, you never thought you would do - Each assignment sends you into the unknown circumstances.. Having the chance to think and write about latest world issues - we can say witness history in making. Travelling to Lots more places. You'll have friends all over the world. You'll have amazing stories to tell. Access to important, interesting people. Learning new things everyday. You'll rarely be bored in job. You gain a world perspective. (You could be dealing with Intelligence so Virtually) you can feel like - Jason Bourne, James Bond, or Sherlock Holmes :P

Things that you may not Like:

You wil be at service to indian government 24 hrs. a day. You may have to endorse policies with which you may disagree. Anything you say can be taken as official indian government statement (You and your job could be at stake for wrong doing - Responsibilty - you are representing a Nation). Changing jobs in every few years. Often feeling that what you write goes into nothing. By the time, you know what you are doing.its time to move on. You no longer fit in your country culture. Your friends are always all over the world. Not many people "back home" will want to hear them. Very few at home will understand what it is you do.
