This article covers the Rajasthan Police Sub-Inspector (SI) salary for 2026, including basic pay, allowances, and expected in-hand take-home pay. We clearly explain the fixed probation period stipends and the exact SI pay scale levels that apply state-wide.
Rajasthan Police SI Salary Per Month
After successfully completing the mandatory 2-year probation period, a Sub-Inspector is placed in the regular pay matrix. The monthly in-hand salary for a regular Rajasthan Police SI ranges between ₹57,000 to ₹62,000.
This variation depends on the HRA (House Rent Allowance) of your posting location, as urban tier cities like Jaipur or Jodhpur offer a higher 18% HRA, while rural towns offer 9%.
Probation Period Salary (First 2 Years)
Under Rajasthan government employment rules, all newly recruited Sub-Inspectors undergo a 2-year probation period. During this time, they do not receive regular allowances like DA or HRA.
They receive a fixed monthly stipend of ₹26,500. After mandatory state insurance and GPF deductions, the net in-hand probation salary is approximately ₹25,800 per month.
SI Pay Scale and Grade Pay
A Rajasthan Police Sub-Inspector is categorized under the state government's Pay Matrix Level 11. This remarkably corresponds to a highly-coveted Grade Pay of ₹4,200.
The starting basic pay is ₹37,800. With annual increments, the basic pay can eventually max out at ₹1,19,700 prior to retirement or promotion to higher inspector ranks.
SI Allowances & Perks
On top of the basic pay, regular Sub-Inspectors receive several monetary allowances. The Dearness Allowance (DA) is calculated at 50% of the basic pay, greatly boosting the gross salary total.
Extra perks include a Mess/Food Allowance of ₹2,000, a Hard Duty Allowance of ₹1,500 due to the demanding nature of policing, and a Uniform Upkeep Allowance of ₹1,000 paid per month.
8th Pay Commission Projections
The 8th Pay Commission is highly anticipated by Rajasthan state employees. If implemented with an expected standard fitment factor of ~2.6x to 2.8x, the starting basic pay of a Sub-Inspector will jump dramatically.
The starting basic pay could rise from ₹37,800 to roughly ₹97,000 to ₹1,06,000. This will drastically increase the overall gross and in-hand salary for SI officers.
