7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Compensation Structure

The KSCST Field Enumerator position is a purely contractual engagement, thus it does not fall under the standard 7th CPC Pay Matrix levels applicable to permanent civil servants. Instead, the remuneration is structured as a consolidated monthly honorarium. While permanent staff at entry-level technical roles typically start at Level 2 (Basic Pay 19,900 INR), contractual enumerators receive a fixed monthly stipend, often ranging between 20,000 to 25,000 INR. Since this is a contractual role, standard government allowances like DA (currently 53%), HRA, and TA are generally not applicable unless explicitly stated in the contract. Deductions for Professional Tax and potential PF contributions may apply depending on the specific terms of the KSCST service agreement. Consequently, the in-hand salary remains close to the gross consolidated amount, lacking the incremental benefits and pensionable NPS coverage associated with permanent government employment.

Statutory Reservation & Age Relaxation Guidelines

Recruitment follows the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) guidelines regarding statutory reservations. SC/ST candidates are granted a 5-year upper age relaxation, while OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates receive 3 years. PwBD candidates are entitled to a 10-year age relaxation. The EWS category is provided a 10% vertical reservation in alignment with the 103rd Constitutional Amendment. Women candidates are often granted fee concessions or exemptions to promote gender inclusivity in public service. All reservations are strictly subject to the production of valid, government-issued certificates at the time of document verification, failing which candidates are treated under the Unreserved category.
