How Much A Para Special Forces Operative of Indian Army Earn As Salary?


Para Special Forces are the face of true battle superiority of Indian Army to their enemies. They march the dark places, deal with unknown danger and eliminate every kind of threat to India. Those who romance with unknown threats deserve a huge amount of respect and salary.

However, unfortunately, they are not getting what they deserve. The officers are in better condition but the jawans are not getting enough money. In the Special Forces, the officer culture can be seen in the minimum instances. Special Forces recruitment have a test called Probation, where your rank doesn’t matter. In probation you are just a soldier, it eliminates the rank domination without hurting the discipline of the unit and decorum of seniority.

Generally, a Major rank officer in SF doesn’t go for a field operation and that is the reason sometime there are no officer in the team. The justification of this culture can be found back in the days of training. Every soldier in the training of Special Forces is trained like super fighting machine.

They could get late to reach home but they shouldn’t be late for the duty reporting. A special Forces of 5-6 years of experience would probably be receiving around Rs 30,000 if he is posted in hostile areas like J&K or Northeast.
