An IAS officer’s basic salary starts at around ₹56,100 per month, excluding applicable allowances. With experience and promotions, the [IAS salary](https://themonthlysalary.com/gov-job/ias-salary/) increases through different levels of the pay matrix, and senior officers can reach the Apex Scale, where the basic pay can be as high as ₹2.25 lakh per month.
**But the salary is only one part of the package.**
✨ Key benefits and allowances may include:
• Dearness Allowance (DA)
• House Rent Allowance (HRA), where applicable
• Travel Allowance (TA)
• Government accommodation, depending on posting
• Medical facilities
• Official vehicle and other job-related facilities
• Retirement and pension-related benefits under applicable rules
