What pay level and in-hand salary mean
Pay level. Central government posts are placed on a pay matrix. A line such as "Level 2 · ₹19,900–63,200" says which row of the matrix the post sits in, followed by the entry pay and the top of the pay band as printed in the notification. The entry figure is the basic pay you start on; it is not what reaches your bank account.
Basic pay versus in-hand. In-hand (take-home) salary is basic pay plus allowances such as dearness allowance, house rent allowance and travel allowance, minus deductions. Allowances such as house rent and travel vary with the class of city you are posted in, which is why the same post can pay differently in different places.
Why this page does not give a single in-hand figure. The data for this exam gives the official pay level only. Because allowances depend on the posting city and deductions depend on the individual, any single take-home number would be a guess, so none is shown.
Group. The group letter or label is how the post is classified in the notification. Posts in the same group can still sit at different pay levels, so always read the pay level column, not the group alone.
Always confirm with the notification. Pay levels, vacancies and department lists can change between cycles. The official notification is the final word.
Choosing between posts
Look at pay level first, then at the department and the nature of the job (desk, field or physical). Check any special requirements listed above before you rank posts, because a post you do not qualify for cannot be a fallback.
Before you decide, confirm that you meet the age and education rules on the UP Police Constable eligibility page, and see how the stages are scored on the UP Police Constable exam pattern page.
