Salary of an IAS officer: 7th Pay Commission Recommendations The starting salaries of all Civil Servants (Group A) are the same (Pay Level 10). 7th Pay Commission recommendations are approved by Cabinet on 29th June 2016.

Now the basic pay of entry level IAS officers is Rs. Allowances like Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA) and Travel Allowance (TA) will be extra. The salary will increase as experience increases.

The basic pay of Cabinet Secretary is fixed at Rs.2,50,000. Total Salary = Basic Pay + DA + HRA + TA The above-mentioned figures are basic salaries. You may also be entitled to HRA, DA and TA. HRA would be 8-24% of Basic Salary. If you are getting official accommodation, HRA part won’t be credited to your salary.

DA would start from 0% after 7th pay commission recommendation. This component would be linked to inflation. But remember that DA had touched 107% of Basic Salary of government officers in 2015 and in future, the DA part would be significant. DA is revised on half yearly basis (January and July every year) depending on the inflation index (CPI). You will also be given Travel Allowance (TA) to meet various expenses related to travel.

Note: There was another component called grade pay in government officers salary before. Now this part is removed. Thus, it can be seen that the total salary of entry level IAS officers would be Rs 56100 + DA + House Rent Allowance + Transport Allowance. The structure and goes up to Pay Level 18.
