SERVICES | SALARY | JOB PROFILE

Group A, B, C and D Services –  The Central government of India mainly organised civil service into four groups; Group ‘A’, Group ‘B’, Group ‘C’, and Group ‘D’. This classification is directly related to the rank, status and the degree of the level of responsibility attached to the posts.

Group `A’ posts carry higher administrative responsibilities and they are appointed at highest management positions in the ministries. The junior levels of Group `A’ along with Group `B’ constitute middle management. Group `C’ posts mainly perform clerical work in ministries and departments and Group `D’ employees are recruited to do maintenance and labour work.

All the salaries and grade pay of Central govt employees are decided by a committee called CPC (Central Pay Commission). Pay commission is set up by the Indian government and gives its recommendations regarding the changes in the salaries of its employees. The government of India constituted 7′th CPC in Sept. 2013 and its recommendations were implemented on 1 Jan 2016.

All the civil services are divided into different levels (1 to 18). Level 1 to 5 come under Group ‘C’ and ‘D’, Level 6 to 9 come under Group ‘B’ and level 10 to 18 come under Group ‘A’ jobs.
