They get a starting salary of Rs. 56,100 per month. Besides that, they receive extra money as allowances and benefits. How much they make in total depends on where they work, their rank, and how long they&#8217;ve been in the job. So, IAS officers can make anywhere from about Rs. 56,000 to Rs. 1,50,000 every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IAS_Salary_Per_month\"><\/span>IAS Salary Per month<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>IAS officers in India earn different amounts based on their job level and position. A new IAS officer starts with a basic monthly pay of Rs. 56,100 under the 7th Pay Commission. In total, they can make between Rs. 56,100 and Rs. 1,32,000 each month at the starting level.
