SSC GD Constable salary at a glance
GD recruits Constables (General Duty) for the Central Armed Police Forces and SSF, and Riflemen (General Duty) for Assam Rifles. The notification puts every one of these posts at Pay Level 3. Allowances are paid on top under government rules and change over time, so this page sticks to the official basic-pay band.
Pay level & posts
Exactly as listed in the GD 2026 notification: one pay level for every force.
| Pay level | Basic pay | Posts |
|---|---|---|
| Level 3 | ₹21,700 – 69,100 | Constable (GD) in BSF, CISF, CRPF, SSB, ITBP and SSF; Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles |
Level 3: bottom and top of the band
The two ends of the Level 3 band from the notification. You join at the start of the band; the band’s ceiling is the most basic pay can reach at this level. Your actual monthly salary is higher once allowances are added, and lower after deductions.
Basic pay only. In-hand pay depends on the Dearness Allowance rate in force, your place of posting, any allowances your force pays and your deductions, so JobSafal does not quote an in-hand figure — check with your force once you join.
Where the 2026 posts are
From para 3 of the GD 2026 notification: 25,487 tentative vacancies (23,467 male, 2,020 female). The pay is the same in every force; what changes is the force, and so the kind of duty.
CISF
14,595 posts (13,135 male, 1,460 female) — by far the largest share in 2026.
CRPF
5,490 posts (5,366 male, 124 female).
SSB & Assam Rifles
SSB: 1,764 posts, all male. Assam Rifles (Rifleman GD): 1,706 posts (1,556 male, 150 female).
ITBP, BSF & SSF
ITBP: 1,293 (1,099 male, 194 female). BSF: 616 (524 male, 92 female). SSF: 23, all male, filled on an all-India basis.
Job profiles by force
What the work broadly involves — tap a force to expand. The notification itself reminds candidates that they are applying for a combat force; exact duties depend on the force and unit you join.
Allowances & deductions
Basic pay is only part of the salary. Central government employees also receive allowances and have deductions; the rates are set by government orders and change over time, and the notification does not list them — so confirm the current rates with your force.
Service terms in the notification
Selected candidates are liable to serve anywhere in India. Appointment depends on seats in the CAPFs’ training centres, so candidates may be appointed in phases as training space becomes available. Joining, seniority, training and other in-service matters follow the rules of the force you join, and SSC keeps no waiting list once the final result is out. Pay rises over time with annual increments and DA revisions under government rules.
