What these numbers leave out
- This is basic pay. Allowances and benefits are added on top, and they differ by bank and by city.
- The table is Central Bank of India's. Other public sector banks work from the same kind of industry settlement, but check your bank's own notice for its figures.
- Private banks, small finance banks and NBFCs do not publish scales. Their pay is not shown here until readers supply it.
- Which scale a credit role sits in depends on the bank. Bank of India titled one recruitment project "Recruitment of Credit Officers in MMGS Scale II & III".
How to read a scale
A scale is written as a start, then steps. "₹48,480, then 7 steps of ₹2,000" means seven yearly increments of ₹2,000 after entry, and the scale goes on in the next band the same way. A bank moves an officer up a stage each year, and to the next scale on promotion. Promotion rules are the bank's.
- Scale I: ₹48,480, 7 steps of ₹2,000, 2 steps of ₹2,340, 7 steps of ₹2,680 to ₹85,920.
- Scale II: ₹64,820, 1 step of ₹2,340, 10 steps of ₹2,680 to ₹93,960.
- Scale III: ₹85,920, 5 steps of ₹2,680, 2 steps of ₹2,980 to ₹1,05,280.
- Scale IV: ₹1,02,300, 4 steps of ₹2,980, 2 steps of ₹3,360 to ₹1,20,940.
- Scale V: ₹1,20,940, 2 steps of ₹3,360, 2 steps of ₹3,680 to ₹1,35,020.
- Scale VI: ₹1,40,500, 4 steps of ₹4,000 to ₹1,56,500.
- Scale VII: ₹1,56,500, 4 steps of ₹4,340 to ₹1,73,860.
