Pay and fee

Pay is given in the advertisement only as Pay Levels — Level-6C for Assistant Superintendent Jail, Level-2 for Warder, Level-4 for Computer Assistant and Junior Assistant, and Level-SL-1 for Orderly and Barber — with no rupee figures printed, so no monthly salary figure is shown here. The application fee, payable online only and non-refundable, is Rs. 700 for UR/EWS and Rs. 600 for SC/ST/ALC for Assistant Superintendent Jail; Rs. 600 for UR/EWS and Rs. 500 for SC/ST/ALC for Warder, Computer Assistant and Junior Assistant; and Rs. 450 for UR/EWS and Rs. 400 for SC/ST/ALC for Orderly and Barber. Note: the Barber fee paragraph in the official PDF repeats the word "Orderly" — an apparent copy-paste error in the notice; the figures printed there are Rs. 450/Rs. 400, matching the Orderly slab, and are used here for Barber.
