by

8th Pay Commission DSP Salary: Government employees and officers across the country are now keenly watching the 8th Pay Commission. Police officers, in particular, are eager to know how much their salaries will increase after the new Pay Commission is implemented. The most debated topic is the salary of DSPs (Deputy Superintendents of Police). It is believed that the 8th Pay Commission could lead to significant changes in the salaries of DSPs.

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 the 8th Pay Commission is now underway. Currently, the position of DSP falls within Level 9 of the Pay Matrix. Currently, under the 7th Pay Commission, a DSP receives a basic salary of ₹53,100. In addition, they are also provided with dearness allowance, house rent allowance, and other allowances. The combined total salary of a DSP is considered good, but it is expected to increase further after the 8th Pay Commission.

How much can the salary increase in 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 set 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 Rs 53,100 is added to the new fitment factor, the new basic salary of a DSP could reach approximately Rs 151,866 per month. This figure may sound surprising, but it is considered possible according to Pay Commission 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 can be even higher. Consequently, the 8th Pay Commission has made the job of a DSP even more attractive. To become a DSP, candidates must pass the State Public Service Commission or Union Public Service Commission exams.
