WBSSC Group C and D Salary and Benefits
A job with the West Bengal School Service Commission not only offers security but also a very attractive salary package. While the official notification states that the pay scale will be as per “extant State Government norms,” we can break down what that typically means for these positions. The salary is structured based on Pay Levels defined by the state’s pay commission. For a Group C Clerk, you can expect a salary in a respectable pay band, which includes the basic pay along with several allowances.
These allowances significantly increase the in-hand salary. Key components include Dearness Allowance (DA), which is revised periodically to offset inflation, and House Rent Allowance (HRA), which varies based on your posting location (city or rural area). You will also receive a Medical Allowance to cover healthcare expenses. Furthermore, employees are enrolled in the National Pension System (NPS), a government-sponsored pension scheme that ensures financial security after retirement. For Group D staff, the pay scale is also competitive, including similar allowances that make the total monthly remuneration quite substantial and provides a stable financial foundation.
