Monthly estimate by stage
The table below uses one consistent model: DA at 58%, employee NPS included, no government accommodation, and no personal tax or other deductions. Read these as grounded comparables, not guaranteed take-home promises.
| Stage | Gross (Y-class) | Cash after NPS (Y-class) | Cash after NPS (Z-class) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary Scale | Rs 97,650 | Rs 88,800 | Rs 84,300 |
| Senior Scale | Rs 1,17,100 | Rs 1,06,450 | Rs 1,01,100 |
| Selection Scale | Rs 1,39,050 | Rs 1,26,400 | Rs 1,20,000 |
| Supertime Scale | Rs 2,14,200 | Rs 1,94,750 | Rs 1,84,900 |
Y-class HRA is treated as 16%. Z-class HRA is treated as 8%. 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
This guide uses a 58% DA basis because that is the latest indexed official DA order basis we found on April 10, 2026. If the state revises DA later, the monthly estimate changes automatically.
Tax and personal deductions vary
Income tax, insurance, loan recovery, and other department-specific deductions are person-specific. That is why the calculator exposes editable deductions instead of hardcoding a fake universal in-hand number.

Open RAS Salary CalculatorFrequently asked questions
What official basis is this salary guide using on April 10, 2026?
The pay levels and stage names are taken from the Rajasthan Civil Services (Revised Pay) Rules, 2017, where Rajasthan Administrative Service appears at L-14 ordinary scale, L-16 senior scale, L-19 selection scale, and L-21 supertime scale. HRA assumptions use the Rajasthan Finance Department FAQ pattern of 16% for Y-class and 8% for Z-class cities. The DA default used here is 58%, because that is the latest indexed official DA order basis we found on April 10, 2026.
What is the starting salary basis of a RAS officer?
The official service schedule places Rajasthan Administrative Service ordinary scale at L-14, with the first visible cell at Rs 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?
It depends on posting, HRA eligibility, government accommodation, tax, and other deductions. On the verified assumptions used here, a new RAS officer lands around Rs 84,262 to Rs 88,750 per month after employee NPS but before personal tax and other deductions. Actual take-home can be lower once personal deductions are applied.
Does every RAS officer get HRA?
No. If government accommodation is provided, the regular HRA assumption should be treated as zero. That is why the salary calculator exposes accommodation as a toggle instead of pretending one fixed in-hand number fits everyone.
