What is the average salary of a government clerk recruited after 12th pass?

The starting salary of a government clerk after 12th pass is usually around ₹20,000–₹25,000 per month including allowances. It varies based on department and state.

I joined as a clerk in state government. Starting salary was around ₹18,000, but now after few increments it is more than ₹25,000. Central government pays a bit higher.

In central government, clerks recruited through SSC CHSL get Level 2 or Level 4 pay scale. That means salary is about ₹22,000 initially, but with allowances like HRA and DA, it goes above ₹28,000 in cities.
