UP Police SI Salary Per Month: Pay Level 6, Allowances and Worked In-Hand Calculation 2026

The up police si salary per month in hand is an estimated Rs 68,420 in an X class city, an estimated Rs 61,946 in a Y class city and an estimated Rs 58,406 in a Z class city. These are estimates worked out step by step below, using Dearness Allowance of 63% — the Uttar Pradesh rate from 1 July 2026, notified on 7 November 2026. The UPPRPB publishes only the pay level in the Sub-Inspector notification, never an in-hand figure, so every in-hand number in this guide is labelled as an estimate and the maths is shown in full. One correction first: Uttar Pradesh has no X-class city, so most Sub-Inspectors are actually paid on the Y-city or Z-city figure — the X-city number is shown for completeness. For a Level 1 central government pay comparison, read our SSC MTS Salary Per Month guide.

UP Police SI Salary Per Month 2026 – Overview

A Sub-Inspector in the Uttar Pradesh Police is a gazetted-rank field officer who runs a police station or a section of it — investigation, law and order, and supervision of constables and head constables. The same pay level pays the same basic pay at every posting — what changes with the posting is mainly the House Rent Allowance and the Transport Allowance, because both depend on the city.

Post-Wise Pay Scale of UP Police SI 2026

The Sub-Inspector, Platoon Commander and Fire Officer posts in the UPPRPB recruitment all sit in the same pay level, so the UP Police SI salary per month starts from the same basic pay for all three. The pay level, more than anything else, decides the salary, because basic pay, DA, HRA and the NPS deduction all flow from it.

What the notification says. The UPPRPB notification fixes the Sub-Inspector pay as Level 6 of the 7th CPC Pay Matrix with a starting basic pay of Rs 35,400 and a Grade Pay of Rs 4,200. The annual increment is 3% of basic pay under 7th CPC rules, so the UP Police SI salary per month rises every year even without a promotion, and the pay scale runs up to Rs 1,12,400 at the top of Level 6.

UP Police SI Allowances Breakdown

Basic pay is only part of the salary. Three allowances make up most of the rest of the UP Police SI salary per month, and all three follow government orders, not the recruitment board.

Dearness Allowance (DA) – 63% of basic pay. DA is 63% of basic pay, the Uttar Pradesh rate from 1 July 2026. The state government notified the hike on 7 November 2026, raising DA from 58% to 63% following the Centre. The higher rate is paid in cash with the November 2026 salary, and the arrears for 1 July to 31 October 2026 go into the provident fund. For an SI that is Rs 22,302 a month. This is the figure most salary pages online still get wrong — they were written when DA was 42%, and their in-hand range of Rs 55,000–58,000 belongs to that older rate.

House Rent Allowance (HRA) – 30%, 20% or 10% of basic pay. HRA depends on the city of posting: 30% in X class cities, 20% in Y class cities and 10% in Z class cities. These are the revised slabs that apply after DA crossed 50%. For an SI, that is Rs 10,620 a month in an X class city, Rs 7,080 in a Y class city and Rs 3,540 in a Z class city. HRA is not paid if the officer lives in government accommodation.

Transport Allowance (TA) – plus DA on TA. Transport Allowance depends on the pay level and the city. For Pay Level 6 it is Rs 3,600 a month in higher-TPTA cities and Rs 1,800 elsewhere, and DA is paid on it — so the TA component is Rs 5,868 in an X class city and Rs 2,934 elsewhere. The exact TA in an individual pay slip follows the state order, so the table below states this standard Level-6 figure plainly.

Other allowances – not in the table below. A Sub-Inspector also gets ration money allowance, uniform allowance, risk and hardship allowance for field postings, and medical facilities. These vary by posting and duty, so no single figure applies to every SI, and the worked table below covers only the fixed pay — basic pay, DA, HRA and TA.

UP Police SI Salary Per Month – Worked X/Y/Z Calculation

Here is the full worked calculation for a Sub-Inspector at Pay Level 6, starting basic pay Rs 35,400, with DA at 63%. Gross pay is basic plus DA plus HRA plus Transport Allowance with DA; the deduction is NPS.

So the UP Police SI salary per month is an estimated Rs 68,420 in a metro city, Rs 61,946 in a Y class city and Rs 58,406 in a Z class city — before income tax and before the ration money, uniform and risk allowances, which sit on top of these figures. The gap between the metro and the small-town figure is about Rs 10,014, and almost all of it is the HRA difference.

UP Police SI Salary Per Month – Summary Table

Read this before trusting any in-hand figure online. The UPPRPB publishes the pay level only; no in-hand figure is published officially. The figures above are estimates worked out from the verified DA, HRA and TA rates, minus NPS, before income tax. Most pages quoting Rs 55,000–58,000 were built on DA 42% and HRA 24% — rates that no longer apply. If a website quotes a single exact in-hand number for an SI post without showing its maths or its DA rate, treat it as a guess.

Which City Class Applies in Uttar Pradesh

City classification for HRA is population-based, and under the central classification Uttar Pradesh has no X-class city. Lucknow, Kanpur, Agra, Varanasi, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Aligarh, Bareilly, Gorakhpur, Moradabad, Saharanpur, Jhansi, Firozabad and Noida are all Y-class cities, which means 20% HRA. Every other town in the state is Z-class, which means 10% HRA. So for most Sub-Inspectors the realistic figure is the Y-city estimate of Rs 61,946 or the Z-city estimate of Rs 58,406 — the X-city figure of Rs 68,420 applies only to a posting in an X-class city outside Uttar Pradesh, and it is shown here for completeness.

Deductions from UP Police SI Salary

Gross pay is not take-home pay. The deductions from the UP Police SI salary per month are straightforward, because the largest one is a fixed percentage.

National Pension System (NPS) – 10% of basic pay plus DA. This is the largest fixed deduction. For an SI it is 10% of Rs 35,400 plus Rs 22,302, which is Rs 5,770 a month. The government adds its own 14% share on top, but that share does not appear in the monthly pay slip.

Income tax and professional tax – depend on the individual. Tax depends on the tax regime chosen and total income, and professional tax is not levied in Uttar Pradesh, so no single figure applies to every officer. The in-hand figures in this guide are stated before income tax for exactly this reason. Ration money, uniform and risk allowances are paid on top of the figures above and are not deductions.

UP Police SI Salary After 7th Pay Commission

The SI salary is governed by the 7th Central Pay Commission pay matrix, and no fresh pay commission has been implemented. The starting basic pay of Rs 35,400 rises by an annual increment of 3% of basic pay, so the UP Police SI salary per month rises every year even without a promotion, and the pay scale runs up to Rs 1,12,400 at the top of Level 6.

8th Pay Commission status. The 8th Central Pay Commission was constituted on 3 November 2025 and is in the consultation phase. As of November 2026, no official pay matrix and no fitment factor has been notified. That means there is no official revised salary figure for SI yet, and any figure circulating on social media or coaching websites is speculation. This guide will be updated when the commission’s recommendations are officially notified.

Job Profile and Career Growth in UP Police SI

A Sub-Inspector (Civil Police) is the officer-in-charge of a police station or a section of it — registering and investigating cases, maintaining law and order, supervising constables and head constables, and appearing in court. A Platoon Commander leads a platoon in the Provincial Armed Constabulary, and a Fire Officer handles fire-service duties. The post carries real field responsibility from day one, which is why the recruitment tests physical standards and endurance alongside the written examination.

Promotion runs from Sub-Inspector to Inspector and then to Deputy Superintendent of Police through departmental channels, subject to seniority and departmental examination rules. The salary therefore rises on three tracks at once: the annual increment, the DA revisions, and promotion to higher ranks.
