Pay Scale — Department-Wise

All figures below are basic pay as notified in Advt No. 81/UKSSSC/2026. Actual take-home pay is higher, because Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and Travel Allowance (TA) are added on top of basic pay. DA is currently around 60% of basic pay for Uttarakhand state government employees and is revised periodically, so exact figures may shift slightly after each revision.

Highest-paying post in this notification: Personal Assistant, Commercial Tax Authority (Level 7). Most common pay level: Level 5, covering 92 of the 101 vacancies.

Approximate Starting Salary (Basic Pay + DA)

The table below shows a rough starting figure at the entry point of each pay level, calculated as basic pay plus DA at around 60%. It is an estimate: it does not include HRA or TA, and it is before deductions such as pension contribution, so your actual in-hand amount will differ by a modest margin depending on your posting city and applicable deductions.

Nature of the Post
