RAS officer salary
A directly recruited RAS officer receives fixed remuneration of ₹39,300 per month during probation. After successful probation, the officer enters L-14 at its first cell of ₹56,100. Career-long pay progresses through L-14 ordinary scale, L-16 senior scale, L-19 selection scale, and L-21 supertime scale — not the generic L-10 figure some older salary blogs still quote.
- Probation: fixed remuneration of ₹39,300 per month, without regular DA or HRA.
- After probation: L-14 begins at ₹56,100 basic pay; applicable allowances and deductions are separate.
- Selection scale L-19 and supertime scale L-21: see the verified progression table below.

RAS salary per month (new officer)
A new direct recruit receives fixed remuneration of ₹39,300 per month during probation, without regular DA or HRA. After successful probation, the regular L-14 scale starts at ₹56,100 basic pay.
In the regular scale, current DA and eligible HRA are added to basic pay, while GPF, state insurance, RGHS, income tax, housing and other deductions vary. There is no single official in-hand figure.
RAS salary after 5 years
If five annual increments have become due in the regular L-14 scale, the sixth cell is ₹65,000. Probation and increment eligibility mean this is not guaranteed exactly five years after appointment. Promotion to the L-16 senior scale does not happen automatically at year 5 — most officers reach senior-time-scale only after the departmental promotion condition is met.
L-16 is a separate senior scale whose first cell is ₹67,300; it does not apply automatically in the fifth year. Actual take-home depends on the rates and deductions then in force.
Verification note
This page intentionally avoids generic “Level 10 + fixed transport allowance” internet templates. The verified basis here is the Rajasthan service pay schedule, including probation fixed remuneration and the regular pay-matrix cells, not a generic all-India salary blog pattern.
Official pay progression used here
| Stage | Pay level | Basic pay | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary Scale | L-14 | ₹56,100 | Ordinary scale |
| Senior Scale | L-16 | ₹67,300 | Senior scale |
| Selection Scale | L-19 | ₹79,900 | Selection scale |
| Supertime Scale | L-21 | ₹1,23,100 | Supertime scale |
Monthly estimate by stage
The table below shows regular-scale components using 60% DA and, where eligible, HRA at 20% for Y-class or 10% for Z-class. These totals are basic pay + DA + HRA, not guaranteed take-home pay; CCA, other payments and all deductions are excluded.
| Stage | Basic pay | Y: basic + DA + HRA | Z: basic + DA + HRA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary Scale | ₹56,100 | ₹1,00,980 | ₹95,370 |
| Senior Scale | ₹67,300 | ₹1,21,140 | ₹1,14,410 |
| Selection Scale | ₹79,900 | ₹1,43,820 | ₹1,35,830 |
| Supertime Scale | ₹1,23,100 | ₹2,21,580 | ₹2,09,270 |
Current HRA is treated as 20% for Y-class and 10% for Z-class. If government accommodation is provided, HRA should be treated as zero instead.
What actually changes your take-home
Posting city and accommodation
The biggest visible swing is HRA. A Y-class posting with no government accommodation pays more cash than a Z-class posting, but government housing can zero out regular HRA entirely.
DA moves over time
The Rajasthan Finance Department order dated April 23, 2026 raised DA from 58% to 60%, effective January 1, 2026. The component table above uses 60%; a later order would change the calculation.
OPS and personal deductions vary
Rajasthan restored OPS from April 1, 2022. GPF, state insurance, RGHS, income tax, loan recovery and other deductions vary by service record and person, so there is no universal official in-hand figure.
Use the live calculator
For a rough regular-pay estimate, use 60% DA and the current eligible HRA rate. Do not automatically apply the calculator’s old NPS option to a new Rajasthan officer covered by OPS; compare the result with the actual payslip and departmental deductions.

The Rajasthan Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2017 provide the pay levels, first cells and probation fixed remuneration: L-14 ordinary, L-16 senior, L-19 selection and L-21 supertime scales. DA is 60% under the Finance Department order dated April 23, 2026; the current HRA rates are 20% for Y-class and 10% for Z-class. OPS is based on the May 19, 2022 notification.
What is the starting salary basis of a RAS officer?
On direct recruitment, fixed remuneration of ₹39,300 per month applies during probation. After successful probation, the L-14 ordinary scale begins at its first cell of ₹56,100. Earlier generic internet references to L-10 are not consistent with the official Rajasthan service schedule.
What is the real in-hand salary of a new RAS officer?
There is no single official in-hand figure. Fixed remuneration is ₹39,300 per month during probation. In the regular scale, basic pay, DA, eligible HRA and other payments apply, followed by GPF, state insurance, RGHS, income tax and personal deductions. Old NPS-based estimates should not be applied to a new RAS officer covered by Rajasthan OPS.
Does every RAS officer get HRA?
No. HRA is not paid with probation fixed remuneration. In the regular scale, HRA should also be treated as zero if government accommodation is provided or the officer is otherwise ineligible. That is why the salary calculator exposes accommodation as a toggle instead of pretending one fixed in-hand number fits everyone.
