What will be the salary of a DSP after the 8th Pay Commission? Learn the surprising figures.

After the implementation of the 8th Pay Commission, the salary of DSPs is expected to increase significantly, with their basic pay expected to increase several times from the current level. Let's find out the details...

Government employees and officers across the country are now closely watching the 8th Pay Commission. Officers working in the police department, in particular, want to know how much their salaries will increase after the implementation of the new Pay Commission. The salary of DSPs, or Deputy Superintendents of Police, is the most discussed topic. It is believed that the salary of DSPs may see a significant change after the 8th Pay Commission.

The government constitutes a Pay Commission every few years to review the salaries, allowances, and pensions of employees and officers. Seven Pay Commissions have been implemented so far, and now the 8th Pay Commission is about to be implemented. Currently, the position of DSP falls in Level 9 of the Pay Matrix. Currently, under the 7th Pay Commission, a DSP receives a basic salary of ₹53,100. They also receive dearness allowance, house rent allowance, and other allowances. The combined salary of a DSP is considered good, but it is expected to increase further after the 8th Pay Commission.

How much could salaries increase under the 8th Pay Commission?

According to media reports and experts, the fitment factor may be increased in the 8th Pay Commission. If the fitment factor is fixed at around 2.86, officers in Level 9 could see a significant increase in their salaries. Based on this, the potential salary of a DSP is being estimated.

Estimated New Basic Salary

If the current basic salary of ₹53,100 is added to the new fitment factor, the new basic salary of a DSP could reach approximately ₹1,51,866 per month. This figure may sound surprising, but it's considered possible according to the Pay Commission's rules.

Salary will increase further with allowances

It's important to note that this is only an estimate of the basic salary. In addition, DSPs also receive dearness allowance, house rent allowance, travel allowance, and other government benefits. After adding all these allowances, a DSP's total monthly salary could be even higher. Consequently, the post-8th Pay Commission DSP position is considered even more attractive. To become a DSP, candidates must pass the State Public Service Commission or Union Public Service Commission exams.
