The 7th Pay Commission has already been constituted by the Government and the pay scales of all Central Government employees shall be revised wef 01 Jan 2016 as and when the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission are finalised and approved by the Government.

Consequent to the Sixth Pay Commission salaries have substantially increased. While the pay and the allowances of an Army officer may superficially appear to be at par with other Central government services, and may be less than that offered by the corporate sector, the quality of life and non-inflationary nature of the perks, which the Army offers outshine the other services. Government job entitles you to many hidden perks, which you may NOT quantify while calculating remuneration.



Apparently, there are about 61 types of facilities, benefits and allowances that are applicable to Army in general. In fact if one were to work out the remuneration of a service officer vis a vis a comparable job in the private sector, on the basis of ‘Cost To Company’ (CTC) you would be astounded to find the returns of an Army man to be more if not the same.
