What candidates should compare

Post list

Sub-Inspector posts in Delhi Police and CAPFs are controlled by the force/post list in the current notice.

Pay framework

Recent SI posts used Pay Level 6; allowances, risk/location benefits, deductions and force posting affect take-home pay.

Work conditions

Posting, shifts, field/office duties, transfers and departmental responsibilities differ.

Preference risk

A preference should be submitted only after checking every eligibility, physical, medical, subject and licence condition.

Estimate take-home pay carefully

  1. Start with the notified pay level/basic pay.
  2. Add only applicable allowances for the posting.
  3. Subtract NPS, tax and other deductions.
  4. Do not treat an illustrative figure as a guaranteed salary.

Important

Vacancy and pay do not override post-specific eligibility. An invalid preference can affect allocation or candidature.
