Indian Road Congress (IRC) consultants are typically engaged on a contractual basis, often aligned with 7th CPC Level 10 or 11 pay scales depending on experience. For a Level 10 consultant, the entry basic pay is Rs 56,100. With current DA at 53 percent (Rs 29,733), HRA for Class X cities at 27 percent (Rs 15,147), and Transport Allowance (Rs 3,600 plus DA), the gross monthly salary approximates Rs 1,06,400. After mandatory NPS deductions (10 percent of Basic plus DA) and professional tax, the estimated in-hand salary ranges between Rs 92,000 and Rs 95,000. For 8th CPC projections, experts anticipate a fitment factor increase, potentially raising the entry basic pay to approximately Rs 65,000, significantly enhancing the overall CTC. These figures are subject to specific IRC internal consultancy guidelines and project-based allowances which may vary based on the technical expertise required for the specific road infrastructure project.
