IAS salary

An IAS officer draws a basic pay of Rs. 56,100 a month on entry, fixed by Rule 5(1) of the Indian Administrative Service (Pay) Rules, 2016 at the first cell of Level 10 of the pay matrix. Those rules, notified as G.S.R. 870(E) on 8 September 2016 under section 3(1) of the All India Services Act, 1951, are the whole of the instrument. The CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2016 that govern a central civil servant do not apply to a member of an All India Service.

On central deputation in an X-class city, at the current dearness allowance of 60%, the entry gross is about Rs. 1,18,110 a month and the in-hand about Rs. 1,01,300. The qualifier matters more than the figure. The basic pay is uniform across all 25 cadres, but house rent allowance, transport allowance, accommodation and medical attendance for an officer serving a state are fixed by that state, not by the Department of Expenditure, and the rule that does this is Rule 2(b) of the All India Services (Compensatory Allowance) Rules, 1954.

Rule 3(1) of the 2016 Rules runs the ladder from Level 10 to Level 18 and grants two additional increments on promotion at three of its rungs: Level 11, Level 12 and Level 13. That is the real pay advantage of the service, it is shared with the Indian Foreign Service, and it closes at Level 14.

This page sets out the entry pay and its statutory source, how the in-hand is built and where it stops being a national figure, the Rule 3(1) grade ladder, the two-increment mechanism worked through the matrix, the eligibility service for each grade, the training and probation, the cadre and deputation system, pension, retirement, and where the 8th Central Pay Commission currently stands. The take-home at entry is worked out by the salary by pay level calculator, set here to Level 10.

Entry pay and the rule that fixes it

The entry basic pay of an IAS officer is Rs. 56,100 a month. Rule 5(1) of the Indian Administrative Service (Pay) Rules, 2016 states that the initial pay of a direct recruit is fixed at the minimum pay or the first cell in Level 10 of the pay matrix, and Appendix I to the same rules prints that cell as Rs. 56,100. Level 10 runs 40 cells, from Rs. 56,100 to Rs. 1,77,500.

Rule 3(1)(A) names the grade the Junior Scale, which is why the ladder is often written as the Junior Time Scale. A direct recruit through the Civil Services Examination enters there and nowhere else. The four provisos to Rule 5(1) deal only with the recruit who already holds a lien on a permanent post: during probation such an officer draws the pay of the permanent post if it is higher, an officer who held a Group A post is fixed at the same stage in Level 10, and increments in the Junior Scale stop accruing until length of service entitles the officer to more.

That is the entire statutory content of the entry figure. No order publishes a separate stipend for the probation period and none publishes a schedule of mess or hostel charges at the training academy, so Rs. 56,100 is the basic on which pay, allowances and the pension contribution are reckoned from the date of appointment.

The in-hand at entry on central deputation

The in-hand of an IAS officer at Level 10 on central deputation in an X-class city is about Rs. 1,01,300 a month. The build-up below applies to an officer serving in connection with the affairs of the Union. It is not the state cadre figure, for the reason set out in the next section.

The CGHS subscription of Rs. 650 is the rate for Levels 7 to 11 under Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Office Memorandum No. S.11011/11/2016-CGHS(P)/EHS dated 9 January 2017, effective from 1 February 2017. It rises to Rs. 1,000 from Level 12, so the deduction changes on promotion to the Junior Administrative Grade. Group insurance for a member of an All India Service is governed by the All India Services (Group Insurance) Rules, 1981 rather than by the CGEGIS scheme of 1980 that covers a central civil servant.

Income tax is not nil here. The annual taxable income crosses the Rs. 12 lakh rebate limit under the new tax regime, so a monthly deduction of about Rs. 7,050 applies, unlike the Level 7 and Level 8 posts below. The take-home salary article works the same build-up for every level, and the salary by pay level calculator recomputes it for a given city and scheme.

Why the in-hand differs in a state cadre

Basic pay is identical in every cadre and the allowances are not. An IAS officer allotted to a state cadre draws house rent allowance, transport allowance, accommodation and medical attendance at rates the state government fixes, so the central figures above do not carry across.

Rule 2(b) of the All India Services (Compensatory Allowance) Rules, 1954, notified as No. 20/1/54-AIS(II) on 14 September 1954, defines “Government” for a member serving in connection with the affairs of a State as the government of that State. Rule 3 then provides that a compensatory allowance and the conditions on which it is granted “shall be regulated by such general or special order of the Government under whom such member is for the time being serving”. Rule 3(1) of the All India Services (Travelling Allowances) Rules, 1954 works the same way beyond the entitlement to the highest class of accommodation on duty travel. Where no All India Service rule covers a matter at all, Rule 2 of the All India Services (Conditions of Service, Residuary Matters) Rules, 1960 sends it to the rules applicable to officers of the Central Services, Class I for a Union posting and to the State Civil Services, Class I for a state posting.

Two consequences follow that are widely misstated. An officer allotted government accommodation draws no house rent allowance at all and pays a licence fee; the Explanation to Rule 2(a) of the 1954 Rules treats rent-free accommodation as a compensatory allowance in its own right, granted under the state’s orders. For the Union case, paragraph 4.1 of Department of Expenditure Office Memorandum No. 2/4/2022-E.II(B) dated 30 December 2022 bars house rent allowance to an occupant of General Pool accommodation. The official vehicle that goes with a district posting has no central instrument behind it either: it is granted by the state under Rule 3 of the 1954 Rules or through the residual clause of the 1960 Rules.

Medical cover splits the same way. The All India Services (Medical Attendance) Rules, 1954 govern, and it is for the state government to prescribe the rates for an officer serving it, falling back on its own Class I rules where it has not. Ministry of Home Affairs letter No. 7/25/61-AIS(III) dated 29 November 1962 records that an officer whose headquarters lie outside Delhi and who visits on tour or leave takes facilities under the 1954 Rules and not under CGHS.

The grade and pay ladder

Rule 3(1) of the IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 sets six heads of grade covering eight pay-matrix levels, and the grade rather than the years of service fixes the pay.

Levels 15, 17 and 18 all sit inside the single head “Above Super Time Scale”, which is why the count of IAS grades is given variously as six or eight. Rule 5(8) independently confirms the Level 15 range at Rs. 1,82,200 to Rs. 2,24,100. The two apex cells are single and fixed, so neither carries an annual increment, and Level 18 is reserved by Rule 3(1)(D)(iii) for the post of Cabinet Secretary to the Government of India.

The strings “Level 16” and “Level 13A” appear nowhere in the 2016 Rules, including Schedule II and Appendix I. An IAS officer holds no cadre post at either. Level 13A is the Deputy Inspector General grade of the Indian Police Service, first cell Rs. 1,31,100, present in the pay matrix from the outset. Level 16 at Rs. 2,05,400 is the HAG+ grade held by a Special Secretary to the Government of India, by a Director General of Police and by a Chief Commissioner in the Indian Revenue Service.

The Selection Grade cell needs a caution. The 7th Central Pay Commission built Level 13 on an index of rationalisation of 2.57, giving a first cell of Rs. 1,18,500 across 21 cells. Department of Expenditure Resolution No. 1-2/2016-IC dated 16 May 2017 raised that index to 2.67, and the CCS (Revised Pay) (Amendment) Rules, 2017, G.S.R. 592(E) dated 15 June 2017, substituted the column with Rs. 1,23,100 to Rs. 2,15,900 across 20 cells, with effect from 1 January 2016, the earlier Level 13 becoming non-existent from the outset. Office Memorandum No. 4-6/2017-IC/E-III(A) dated 28 September 2017 clarified that the revised index builds only the first cell of the level, and that migration is still fixed on the fitment factor of 2.57. The revision applied to Level 13 across the services. The consolidated IAS (Pay) Rules text hosted by the Department of Personnel and Training still prints Rs. 1,18,500 in Appendix I, so a reader who opens the rules will see the superseded figure.

Two additional increments at Levels 11, 12 and 13

The pay advantage of the IAS is two additional increments granted on promotion at three rungs of the ladder, not two. Rule 3(1)(B) of the IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 attaches the words “Two additional increments shall be granted at the time of pay fixation on promotion” to each of the three Senior Scales: the Senior Time Scale at Level 11, the Junior Administrative Grade at Level 12 and the Selection Grade at Level 13.

Rules 5(2), 5(5) and 5(6) carry the mechanism, repeated word for word at each stage. Rule 5(2) reads, for promotion out of the Junior Scale:

One increment shall be given in the Level 10 of the Pay Matrix from which the Member of service is promoted and he shall be placed at a Cell equal to the figure so arrived at in the Level 11 of the Pay Matrix corresponding to the Senior Time Scale of the post to which promoted and if no such Cell is available in the Level to which promoted, he shall be placed at the next higher Cell in that Level and Thereafter two additional increments shall be granted to the Basic Pay in the Level to which the Member of Service has been promoted by incrementally moving down two cells in the new Level to which he has been promoted.

The edge closes above Level 13. Rule 5(7), governing promotion from the Selection Grade to the Super Time Scale at Level 14, grants one increment only. Rule 5(8), governing promotion to the HAG Scale at Level 15, grants one increment only, subject to a floor of Rs. 1,82,200 and a ceiling of Rs. 2,24,100. From Level 14 upward an IAS officer is fixed on the same terms as everyone else.

The advantage is not unique to the IAS. Paragraph 14 of Department of Expenditure Resolution No. 1-2/2016-IC dated 25 July 2016, which lists the 7th CPC recommendations on which the Commission reached no consensus and which the government held at status quo, describes item (iii) as the “grant of two additional increments at Senior Time Scale, Junior Administrative Grade and Selection Grade to Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service at par with Indian Administrative Service and Indian Foreign Service”. The IAS and the IFS have it; the IPS and the IFoS asked for it and did not get it. That refusal is also why the IAS batch remains the benchmark for non-functional upgradation rather than a beneficiary of it.

Pay fixation on promotion, worked through the matrix

Take an officer drawing Rs. 61,300, the fourth cell of Level 10, promoted to the Senior Time Scale. Rule 5(2) runs in three steps. One increment in Level 10 moves the officer to Rs. 63,100. No cell in Level 11 equals Rs. 63,100, so the officer is placed at the next higher cell, which is the first cell of Level 11 at Rs. 67,700. Two additional increments then move the officer two cells down that column, to Rs. 71,800.

An officer of another service promoted to Level 11 on the same day from the same cell stops at Rs. 67,700. The gap of Rs. 4,100 in basic pay compounds immediately, because dearness allowance at 60% adds Rs. 2,460 more and house rent allowance at 30% adds Rs. 1,230 more, so the monthly difference is about Rs. 7,790 before the same arithmetic repeats at Level 12 and again at Level 13. Nothing about it is an allowance, and none of it changes the first cell of the level.

Rule 5(9) adds an option that is easy to miss and changes the figure. On every promotion an officer may elect to have pay fixed either from the date of promotion or from the date the next increment accrues in the lower scale. Electing the later date means drawing the pay of the lower scale with placement at the next higher cell of the promotion level in the interim, and re-fixation from the following 1 January or 1 July. Which election pays more turns on where the promotion date falls against the increment date.

The annual increment

The annual increment in the IAS is 3% of basic pay and is granted under Rule 8 of the IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016, not under Rule 9 of the CCS (Revised Pay) Rules, 2016. Rule 8(1)(a) grants it by moving the officer to the next vertical cell in the same level, the cells having been built at 3% and rounded to the next multiple of 100. Rule 8(1)(b), as substituted by G.S.R. 575(E) dated 12 July 2017, sets two increment dates in the year, 1 January and 1 July, and Rule 8(1)(c) fixes which of them applies by reference to the date of appointment or promotion.

Levels 17 and 18 have a single cell each and no cell below it in the same column, so the annual increment has nowhere to move an officer at the Apex Scale or in the Cabinet Secretary Grade. An officer appointed to Level 17 draws Rs. 2,25,000 for the remainder of the career.

Eligibility service for each grade

There is an official schedule of years to each grade, in two instruments, and it is not a matter of report or convention. Note 1 to Rule 3(1) of the IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 provides that a member becomes eligible for the Senior Time Scale on completion of four years of service, subject to Rule 6A(2) of the IAS (Recruitment) Rules, 1954, for the Junior Administrative Grade on nine years, for the Selection Grade on thirteen years and for the Super Time Scale on sixteen years. Department of Personnel and Training Office Memorandum No. 20011/4/92-AIS-II, the guidelines the Note itself refers to, carries the two grades above that.

Note 2 to Rule 3(1) settles how the years are counted: the four, nine, thirteen and sixteen years “shall be calculated from the year of allotment assigned to him under rule 3 of the Indian Administrative Service (Regulation of Seniority) Rules, 1987”. Note 3 excludes extraordinary leave taken otherwise than on medical certificate, for a cause beyond the officer’s control, or for higher studies for which study leave under the All India Services (Study Leave) Regulations, 1960 is admissible.

The Junior Administrative Grade is the outlier and it is the reason the district years arrive on schedule. Office Memorandum No. 20011/4/92-AIS-II records that appointment to it is non-functional and admissible without any screening, as a matter of course, subject only to disciplinary or criminal proceedings not being pending. Every other grade above the Senior Time Scale is expressly subject to the availability of vacancies, which is why an eligibility date and a promotion date are different things.

Postings at each grade

The grade and the posting move together, and Schedule II to the IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 fixes the level of every senior post in every cadre by name. In Andhra Pradesh, for example, the Schedule places the Chief Secretary and the Additional Chief Secretary at Level 17, the Principal Secretary at Level 15 and the Secretary to Government at Level 14. Level 14 is the most common state level in the Schedule, appearing 449 times, followed by Level 15 with 145 and Level 17 with 82.

An officer in the Junior Scale is a Sub-Divisional Magistrate running a sub-division. The Senior Time Scale brings an Additional District Magistrate posting in the state or an Under Secretary posting at the Centre. The Junior Administrative Grade and the Selection Grade are the District Magistrate and Collector years, alongside Deputy Secretary and Director postings at the Centre.

Above the Selection Grade the work moves from the district to policy and supervision: a Divisional Commissioner or a Joint Secretary to the Government of India at the Super Time Scale, a Principal Secretary of a state department or an Additional Secretary at the Centre in the HAG Scale, and at the Apex Scale a Chief Secretary heading a state administration or a Secretary heading a Union ministry.

Cadre, cadre strength and vacancies

An IAS officer belongs to a cadre, and the cadre decides how quickly the pay ladder actually moves. Rule 3 of the Indian Administrative Service (Cadre) Rules, 1954 constitutes a State Cadre or a Joint Cadre for each state or group of states. Rule 4(1) leaves the strength and composition of each cadre to regulations made by the Central Government in consultation with the State Governments, which are the Indian Administrative Service (Fixation of Cadre Strength) Regulations, 1955, and Rule 4(2) requires the Centre to re-examine strength and composition ordinarily every five years. The cadre schedule splits senior posts into posts under the State Government, the Central Deputation Reserve and the Deputation Reserve, with leave and training reserves alongside.

As on 1 January 2026, 5,755 officers were in position against an authorised strength of 7,026 across 25 cadres, figures released by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions on 22 June 2026 with the IAS e-Civil List 2026, the 71st edition. The shortfall of 1,271 posts is the practical answer to why the eligibility service in the table above is a floor rather than a schedule.

Rule 10 of the Cadre Rules bars a state from keeping a cadre post vacant beyond six months without central approval, which is the counterweight: a cadre may be short of officers, but it may not park a sanctioned post indefinitely.

Central deputation and empanelment

Movement to the Centre runs on Rule 6(1) of the IAS (Cadre) Rules, 1954, under which a cadre officer may be deputed for service under the Central Government, another State Government, or a body wholly or substantially owned or controlled by either, with the concurrence of the State Governments and the Central Government concerned. The proviso settles a deadlock in the Centre’s favour: in case of disagreement the matter is decided by the Central Government, and the State Government “shall give effect to the decision”.

Posts at the Centre are filled through the Central Staffing Scheme, which the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions described in a written Rajya Sabha reply of 20 July 2017 as a systematic arrangement for selecting officers of the participating services at the level of Deputy Secretary, Director, Joint Secretary, Additional Secretary and Secretary. Circulars inviting nominations from cadre authorities are issued twice a year. Two years of experience under the Scheme is mandatory for foreign and captive posts, and an officer needs at least three years under the Scheme for empanelment at Additional Secretary level.

Empanelment itself applies from the Joint Secretary level upward, and is a distinct step from deputation. Annual confidential report dossiers are assessed by expert panels of retired Secretary-level officers constituted with the approval of the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet. The records then go to the Screening Committee of Secretaries, which recommends to the Appointments Committee on grading, general reputation, types of assignment held, variety of experience and vigilance status. Approval is conveyed to the cadre-controlling authority and published on the Department of Personnel and Training website.

Selection, probation and training

Entry is through the Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission, the three-stage preliminary, main and interview process that also recruits the Indian Police Service and the Indian Revenue Service. UPSC Examination Notice No. 05/2026-CSE dated 4 February 2026 put the vacancies for the 2026 examination at approximately 933 across all the services it feeds, including 33 reserved for persons with benchmark disability, and stated that the final number may change once cadre-controlling authorities confirm firm vacancies. The notice publishes no service-wise break-up, so there is no notified figure for IAS vacancies alone in any given year.

A selected officer serves a probation under the Indian Administrative Service (Probation) Rules, 1954, of two years, extendable, with confirmation at the end on satisfactory completion. Rule 2(iv) of the IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016 defines the departmental examination that stands in the way as the examination the State Government prescribes for members allotted to that cadre, and the examination itself is governed by the IAS (Departmental Examination) Rules, 1962.

Training runs at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie in four measured blocks. The Foundation Course, shared with the other All India Services and the Group A central services, runs 14 weeks. IAS Professional Course Phase-I runs about 20 weeks and is made up of 12 weeks of academic instruction across law, economics, political concepts and the Constitution, management and behavioural sciences, and public administration, a 7-week Winter Study Tour, and a week of block leave. District Training runs 52 weeks, taking in a state training institute attachment of 3 to 12 weeks, roughly 25 to 30 weeks of district office attachments, and independent charges as Block Development Officer and Tehsildar of 4 to 8 weeks each. Phase-II runs about 8 weeks. Since 2015, beginning with the 2013 batch, officer trainees also serve an Assistant Secretaryship in the Government of India that ends in presentations before the Prime Minister.

Officer trainees who complete the two-year induction programme are awarded a Masters’ Degree in Public Management recognised by Jawaharlal Nehru University, carrying 64 credits across four semesters of 16, 20, 12 and 16 credits, all courses compulsory.

An All India Service

The Indian Administrative Service is one of the three All India Services alongside the Indian Police Service and the Indian Forest Service, and that status governs the pay as much as the pay matrix does. An officer is recruited by the Union under the All India Services Act, 1951, allotted to a state cadre, and serves both the state and the Centre across a career.

The Department of Personnel and Training is the cadre-controlling authority, running the recruitment intake, the cadre allotment and the empanelment for central postings. Basic pay is fixed by the Union through Appendix I of the IAS (Pay) Rules, 2016, and it is uniform: an officer at a given level draws the same basic in any cadre. What changes with the cadre is who pays the salary, since a state bears the cost of an officer serving it, and what allowances attach to it, since Rule 2(b) of the Compensatory Allowance Rules hands those to the government the officer is serving.

Pension

Pension turns entirely on the date of appointment. The second proviso to Rule 1(2)(b) of the All India Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefits) Rules, 1958 excludes persons appointed to the service on or after 1 January 2004 from those rules. An officer appointed before that date draws pension under Rule 18(1)(b), calculated at 50% of emoluments or of average emoluments, whichever is more beneficial to the officer, after not less than ten years of qualifying service, with average emoluments defined by Rule 2(1)(aa) over the last ten months. Rule 18(1-A) adds the additional pension at 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100 years of age.

Rule 2(e) of the CCS (Pension) Rules, 2021, notified as G.S.R. 868(E) on 20 December 2021, excludes “members of the All India Services” by name from that code. The pension calculation under Rule 44 of the 2021 Rules that applies to a central civil servant therefore does not apply to an IAS officer, and Rule 18 of the 1958 Rules is the provision to read instead. The two arrive at the same 50% figure by different routes.

An officer appointed on or after 1 January 2004 is covered by the National Pension System, contributing 10% of basic pay plus dearness allowance against the government’s 14%. The Unified Pension Scheme is available as an option, and it reaches All India Service officers through a different chain from the one that covers central civil servants. The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (Operationalisation of the Unified Pension Scheme under the National Pension System) Regulations, 2025, gazetted on 19 March 2025, expressly cover All India Services officers of the States who are under the National Pension System, and the Department of Personnel and Training advised all States and Union Territories to facilitate implementation for willing officers by letter No. 25014/01/2025-AIS-II (Pension) dated 30 April 2025. A state cadre officer exercises the option through the state government. The Central Civil Services (Implementation of the Unified Pension Scheme under the National Pension System) Rules, 2025, notified on 2 September 2025, do not apply to an IAS officer, for the same reason the 2021 Pension Rules do not. The Old Pension Scheme is closed to post-2004 entrants, so every officer at the junior and middle grades today is on a contributory scheme.

Retirement and premature retirement

Rule 16(1) of the All India Services (Death-cum-Retirement Benefits) Rules, 1958 retires an officer from the afternoon of the last day of the month in which the age of 60 is attained, with a proviso retiring an officer born on the first of a month on the afternoon of the last day of the preceding month. A separate proviso allows an officer holding the post of Chief Secretary to a State Government an extension of up to six months on the state’s recommendation with prior central approval, and Rule 16(1A) allows extension in public interest to the incumbents of Cabinet Secretary, Defence Secretary, Home Secretary, Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Secretary of the Research and Analysis Wing and Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

Rule 16(2) provides for voluntary retirement on at least three months’ notice. Rule 16(3), as substituted by Department of Personnel and Training Notification No. 25013/02/2005-AIS(II) dated 31 January 2012, allows the Central Government, in consultation with the State Government concerned, to require an officer to retire in public interest on three months’ notice in writing or three months’ pay and allowances in lieu, after a review on completion of 15 years of qualifying service, or after a review on completion of 25 years of qualifying service or attainment of the age of 50. That is the All India Services analogue of compulsory retirement under the central civil rules.

How IAS pay compares

Against the posts filled through the SSC Combined Graduate Level examination, an IAS officer starts three levels above an Income Tax Inspector, who is at Level 7, and about Rs. 18,000 of monthly in-hand above one. Entry pay is identical to that of any other directly recruited Group A officer at Level 10, including an Assistant Commissioner in the Indian Revenue Service and an Assistant Superintendent of Police in the Indian Police Service.

The divergence begins at the first promotion, not at the starting cell, and it has one statutory source: the two additional increments at Levels 11, 12 and 13 under Rules 5(2), 5(5) and 5(6). It closes at Level 14. Above that the difference between the services is which posts they can hold and how many of their officers reach the Apex Scale, not how a cell is computed. The salary by pay level chart sets the entry pay at every level side by side, and the central government jobs hub maps the UPSC and SSC routes together.

The 8th Central Pay Commission

IAS pay is within the terms of reference of the 8th Central Pay Commission, and no figure has been notified. Department of Expenditure Resolution F. No. 01-01/2025-E.III(A) dated 3 November 2025, published in the Gazette of India Extraordinary, constituted the Commission under Chairperson Justice Ranjana Prakash Desai, with Prof. Pulak Ghosh as part-time member and Shri Pankaj Jain as Member-Secretary. Clause 2(a)(ii) of the terms of reference covers “Personnel belonging to the All India Services”, so the Indian Administrative Service is squarely within scope.

Clause 5 requires the Commission to make its recommendations within 18 months of the date of its constitution, with liberty to send interim reports. No report has been submitted. Every pay level, fitment factor and matrix cell in circulation for the 8th CPC is a staff-side demand or a projection, and none of it is an order.
