सीएपीएफ उप-निरीक्षक (सब-इंस्पेक्टर) · CAPF · Last checked · Scenarios, not official figures
A CAPF Sub-Inspector starts on Level 6, starting at ₹35,400 a month. At the scenario fitment factors 1.92, 2.28 and 2.86, that basic would become ₹68,000, ₹80,800 and ₹1,01,300. These are scenarios, not official figures: no 8th Pay Commission fitment factor has been announced.
Pay level
The Staff Selection Commission's notice for the 2026 Sub-Inspector examination says the Sub-Inspector (GD) in the CAPFs carries Level-6 (₹35,400 to ₹1,12,400) and is a Group B (Non-Gazetted) post. The same notice gives Delhi Police Sub-Inspectors (Executive) the same Level-6 scale.
Current pay at the entry basic of ₹35,400
DA is 63% of basic from 1 July 2026. HRA depends on the city class and is 30%, 20% or 10% of basic today, never below the minimum. Transport Allowance and role allowances are not included, so this is not take-home pay.
| HRA city class | Basic | DA | HRA | Gross |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X (Delhi, Mumbai and similar large cities) | ₹35,400 | ₹22,302 | ₹10,620 | ₹68,322 |
| Y | ₹35,400 | ₹22,302 | ₹7,080 | ₹64,782 |
| Z (all other places) | ₹35,400 | ₹22,302 | ₹3,540 | ₹61,242 |
Role-specific allowances
No allowance specific to this role is shown, because none was read from an official order. General allowances such as DA and HRA apply as for other staff.
Expected pay at three scenario fitment factors
Entry basic of ₹35,400, an X-class city, DA restarting at 0% and HRA at the 7th CPC opening rates (24%, 16%, 8%). Gross is before deductions. Role allowances and Transport Allowance are left out. Every row is a scenario.

How it is calculated
- New basic = basic today × fitment factor, rounded up to the next ₹100 (7th CPC matrix cells are multiples of ₹100)
- DA = new basic × the DA % you enter (0% if DA restarts, as in 2016)
- HRA = new basic × the city rate you pick, never below the minimum (₹5,400 / ₹3,600 / ₹1,800)
- Gross pay = basic + DA + HRA + other allowances. It is before deductions, so it is not take-home pay.
- The fitment factor is the number you test. Nothing has been decided for the 8th CPC.
