Bihar Police Salary Per Month 2026: Constable Basic Pay, Allowances & In-Hand Salary
The official Bihar Central Selection Board of Constables notification for 19,838 Constable vacancies places the post in Pay Level 3, ₹21,700–₹69,100. That makes ₹21,700 the starting basic pay for a new Constable under that recruitment.
The ₹21,700 figure is basic pay, not take-home. Bihar State Government DA, HRA and other admissible allowances are added according to the rules in force, while pension and other deductions reduce the final bank credit.
Bihar Police Constable Pay Scale
The official CSBC advertisement gives the clearest salary anchor: Level 3 from ₹21,700 to ₹69,100. A new recruit starts at the first applicable cell, while serving employees move upward through increments and promotions.
| Item | Official Position |
|---|---|
| Post | Constable |
| Pay Level | Level 3 |
| Starting Basic | ₹21,700 |
| Pay Range | ₹21,700–₹69,100 |
What Is Added to Basic Pay?
A state police salary can include Dearness Allowance, HRA or accommodation-related treatment and other admissible state/police allowances. The exact rate should come from the Bihar Government order applicable to the salary month.
Accuracy point: do not take the Central Government’s DA percentage and automatically apply it to Bihar Police. State Government employees follow Bihar’s own finance orders.
Bihar Police In-Hand Salary
Take-home pay is gross earnings minus employee-side deductions. Pension contribution, insurance, professional tax where applicable and employee-specific recoveries can all affect the bank credit.
This is why CentralPortal uses the official basic-pay scale as the firm figure and does not present a fabricated universal “in-hand salary” that may be wrong for a particular month or posting.
How Salary Increases
Basic pay progresses through Level 3 with annual increments. Promotion to higher police ranks moves the employee to the pay structure attached to the promoted post. State DA revisions can also change monthly salary even when the basic cell has not changed.
Bihar Police Constable vs Other Constable Salaries
Do not compare Bihar Police directly with Delhi Police, CISF, BSF or CRPF by title alone. Central armed police forces use Central Government pay rules, while Bihar Police uses the Bihar State pay framework.
What to Check in a Bihar Police Salary Slip
Look for basic pay, DA, HRA, any police-specific allowance, pension deduction, insurance, tax where applicable and recoveries. The salary slip also reveals the employee’s current pay-matrix cell, which is more informative than the original recruitment starting pay after several years of service.
