Introduction Chapter 1
The basic and fundamental problem regarding the police today is how to make
them function as an efficient and impartial law enforcement agency fully
motivated and guided by the objectives of service to the public at large,
upholding the Constitutional rights and liberty of the people.
1.1 The problems that confronted the authors of the National Police Commission Report four
decades ago continue to be prevalent even today and provide the general background for the
recommendation of measures to correct pay disparities and allowance shortfalls in Karnataka
Police.
1
c. To formulate and recommend quantum of risk allowance to be given to all members
of state police force.
d. To look into the salary of police personnel in a holistic manner and devise proper
recommendations regarding enhancement of salary as well as allowances.
(See Annexure-2)
Background
1.4 The immediate cause for the formation of this Committee was an incident of ‘attempted
police mass leave’ in June 2016. There were a number of specific reasons for this call and also
a number of distortions that ensued. An important dimension of this incident was its focus on
the cutting edge level of the police organization. These incidents of collective police unrest and
individual outrages represent an increased recourse to eccentric routes amidst an accumulated
sense of discontent within the police organization. The main reasons for the sudden currency
of eccentric solutions to the problems faced by police personnel are the infrequency and
inadequacy of systemic solutions. Correcting pay anomalies and allowance shortfalls could
serve as useful starting points to stem this process.
2
Approach of the Committee
1.6 This was the first instance in Karnataka State that a Committee comprising senior police
officers was formed to study the compensation issues of police personnel. As this was a
pioneering effort for police officers, the Committee took up the following exercises to study
the pay and allowances of police organizations in other states and different Departments within
the state:
a. Committee members visited/ interacted with senior police officers of 10 states1 to
obtain the details of pay, allowances and other welfare measures for police
personnel (See Annexure-3).
b. A small team was formed to study the Pay Scales of different departments and
compare them with the Pay Scales of police personnel in Karnataka
c. The Committee analyzed the petitions of Karnataka Police Association and other
stakeholders.
d. A series of brainstorming sessions were held to fine-tune the recommendations.
1.7 The Committee focused on the cutting edge level of the police organization. The following
are the main ingredients of this report:
a. The Committee has made recommendations to correct anomalies in the police pay
structure and allowances.
b. The Committee has aligned its recommendations with the principles of pay and
allowance determination set by the 6th Pay Committee of the Government of Karnataka
and other Pay Commissions/ Committees that have been accepted by the Government.
c. The Committee has provided a general rationale, substantive justifications and financial
implications to support these recommendations.

The criteria used to select the 10 states were, similarity in size, development level and background. Delhi was
included as reference for a Metropolitan police system.

oriented organization. The study of police compensation should also be presaged by a proper
understanding of the distinctive challenges of policing in modern societies. There are two
important dimensions to these challenges:
a. Balance of Enforcement and Protection
b. Elastic Nature of Public Demand.
4
employment in the public sector has shrunk but police recruitment has increased (See Annexure
4). This is a clear indicator that, law enforcement as part of the public administration setup, has
been growing in importance and needs to be approached with an altered perspective.

1.13 The two dimensions of police organization and the forms of compensation can therefore
be aligned as follows:
a. Police as part of the public administration system: pay and parity
b. Unique institutional structure for enforcement and discipline: special allowances and
welfare net.
1.14 The inadequate policy recognition of the twin roles of police in society and their effects
on the work profile of personnel impairs police morale and output. The Committee has
attempted to address this inadequacy by developing a framework to define and assess police
work demands and their consequences on personnel of the police department.
5
a. The pay structure addresses the aptitude and skill requirements of police work and
represents the value of equity within the governmental system.
b. The system of allowances addresses the distinctive institutional demands of police
and their effects on human capital. It is a recognition of the professional
distinctiveness and dignity of the police.
c. The welfare system addresses the collateral consequences and long term impact of
police work on individual personnel and their families.
1.15 Determination of pay, allowances and welfare measures have distinct institutional and
value implications. Equity in pay and status are particularly important to police personnel
because they work in hostile contexts and rely on a strong sense of occupational dignity to
achieve their public tasks.

Police Pay Structure Chapter 2
During our visits to several police stations and discussions with the
constabulary, their highly demoralized state was strikingly noticeable. They
have nothing to motivate them into meaningful and positive performance of
police tasks with a full understanding of the implications and objectives of
police action. They function as automatons in situations where they are required
to exercise their discretion and judgment. They function rigidly in
circumstances which require flexibility of approach and understanding of the
opposite point of view. We are convinced that mere changes in their training
schedule will not bring about the necessary improvement in their motivation or
performance unless some serious deficiencies in their living and working
conditions which have long been neglected are immediately taken up and
remedied. We consider this exercise to be of primary importance in any attempt
at police reform.
-National Police Commission Report Volume 1, 1979
Introduction
2.1 Police morale, public service output and compensation are closely interlinked. An attempt
has been made in this report to look at these linkages in a holistic way, identify the anomalies
in pay of police personnel and suggest corrective measures. Public service pay is not only the
basic form of compensation for public service professionals but also recognition of the
relevance of different functions within the public administrative system. It reflects the
commitment of the government to the principle of equity and justice in public life. Pay is the
prime instrument for incentivizing public work. It is not only a financial instrument but also a
policy posture and human resource management tool.
2.2 The Seventh Pay Commission set up by the Government of India has followed some general
principles for pay determination which can be summarized as:
a. Consistency with human capital requirement of the overall system of public
administration and the internal requirement of the organization;
7
b. Transparency and fairness in process of fixing remuneration coupled with fiscal
sustainability;
c. Attractiveness for recruitment and sustainable motivation for work.
Police pay should be determined within the ambit of these general principles and guided by a
proper understanding of their distinctive work conditions and professional hazards.
2.3 The Committee used four general criteria to analyze the work and compensation structure
of police personnel in Karnataka as detailed below:
2.5 This skilled human capital should be retained through a favorable compensation system.
Pay parity with equivalent levels of other departments and adequate allowances for the extra
rigor of work ensure the retention of requisite human capital within the police organization.
The comparison of the recruitment-level qualifications and work profiles of different
departments and their Pay Scales shows some glaring inconsistencies. The placements of the
Police Constable and the Sub Inspector are inconsistent with their qualification, training, and
work profile. This relegation has impacted the capacity of the Police Department to retain its
new recruits which is illustrated in the figure below:

2.7 Physical area jurisdiction is another important dimension in the comparison of work
profiles. The average physical area and population covered by each Police station in Karnataka
is 207 Sq. Km. and 66105 people respectively (See Annexure-7). The Police Constable is
responsible for a beat which varies from 2-10 villages in rural Police Stations and a population
ranging from 5,000-90,000 in urban areas. The physical area covered and social scope of police
work ought to be factored in the determination of police Pay Scales.
9
2.8 Relevance of Work
Police work has high relevance and impact in the social context. The main indicators of
relevance are:
a. Level of public contact: Police personnel have continuous interaction with public in all
aspects of their everyday life. From specific and intense interactions with victims of
crime, to reassuring presence through beats and patrols, police interact with a range of
people in different ways.
b. Impact of work on public safety and interaction with other Departments: The most acute
form of interaction with other Departments is in the crisis response role of the police.
It is a well observed fact that police step in when the problems emanating in the work
of other departments go out of control. For example, the waste management issue in
Bangalore city and the Mahadayi issue in North Karnataka, were eventually handled by
the police, while also bearing the brunt of public anger and discontent.
a. Importance of timely response and resolution: Police work is successful only when it is
timely. Prevention of offences, investigation of cases and protection of life and property
depend on quick and timely response.
10
c. Continuous evolution of expectations: Police work evolves and has to continuously
measure up to new expectations. The resolution of individual problems and the
regulation of public incidents require constant police alertness and response to changing
expectations.
2.10 All levels of the police organization and its different wings are involved in such contingent
and non-deferrable work. It is also worth pointing out that police work cannot be substituted
by any other agency due to the distinctive legal status and training background of police
personnel. In recent years, Karnataka Police have performed this growing profile of contingent
functions with a vacancy position ranging from 10 to 25 percent (See Annexure-8).

2.11 The Committee analyzed the pay structure of police personnel in Karnataka through two
frames of comparison:
a. Comparison between the Pay Scales of Karnataka police personnel and the Pay Scales
of police in other Indian states.
b. Comparison between Pay Scales and career progression of police and similarly placed
personnel in other departments within Karnataka.
11
2.12 The comparison brought out two important anomalies in the status and pay of the cutting
edge level personnel of Karnataka Police:
a. The overall pay structure of Karnataka Police personnel did not compare favorably
with other states in Karnataka’s immediate neighborhood (See Annexure-9).
b. There was a disjuncture between the work profile of police personnel in Karnataka and
their pay position and progression path when compared with personnel from other
Departments within the state (See Annexure-10).
2.13 The comparison of the Pay Scales of Karnataka police personnel with similar states shows
that there is a substantial difference in the Pay Scales and promotional progress between
Karnataka Police and their counterparts.
2.14 Karnataka ranked 30th in expenditure per policeman among all states and Union Territories
in India (See Annexure-11). Karnataka was placed seventh among eleven states compared in
terms of Basic Pay, Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance and City Compensatory
Allowance of Police personnel. All states have created specific allowances other than those
mentioned above in order to compensate their police personnel appropriately. When these
special allowances were added, Karnataka slipped to the ninth place among eleven states2.
2.15 It was revealed that the police personnel of some other states, are not only having better
Pay Scales but also enjoy higher status in their administrative hierarchy when compared with
Karnataka Police. The details are discussed in further paras of this report.
2.16 Karnataka police personnel were found to have been relegated in their Pay Scale equation
with similar personnel from other departments when compared with the equivalence patterns
in other states. For example, in Kerala, the Police Inspector is equivalent to Tahsildar and DSP
is equivalent to Deputy Collector in the Revenue Department. In Telangana the Sub Inspector
is equivalent to Deputy Tahsildar the Police Inspector is equivalent to Tahsildar and the DSP
is equivalent to Deputy Collector. Coupled with low gross pay this adverse contrast with the
status of counterparts in other states can be a source of consternation in Karnataka Police.
2
This comparison was made using data provided by state police agencies in the 10
states. The information collected was tallied with the pays slips of personnel in each
state.

2.18 The above table shows that police personnel are placed at the lower Pay Scales of each
grade. Another glaring anomaly that the Committee in its analysis of the ‘Report of the Official
Pay Committee, 2011’ of Government of Karnataka found was that, for large majority of
positions in other departments promotion meant elevation from an existing Pay Scale to a Pay
Scale which was two or three levels higher (and in some cases four levels higher). However,
15
in the case of the Police Department promotion from Police Constable to Head Constable and
from Police Sub Inspector to Police Inspector, the two critical ranks of the police department,
brought a single Pay Scale elevation. This discrepancy in promotional gain has further relegated
the positions of police personnel in the official status gradation and perpetuated a
discriminatory pay structure for police personnel. This pattern of anomalies is illustrated in the
table below:

2.19 The consequences of this relegation are further compounded by another organizational
feature of police- the high concentration of personnel at the lower levels of the organization
(See Annexure-12). This organizational structure shrinks the promotional opportunities of
personnel recruited at lower levels. It therefore amplifies the need to elevate the Pay Scales of
the Constabulary and Police Sub Inspector at entry and promotion. The following figure shows
the comparison of senior officer to subordinate functionary ratio of different departments with
police.

2.20 The Committee also specifically analyzed the Pay Scales of each position in the police
organization with similarly placed personnel from other departments in terms of their aptitudes,
scope of work, and promotional progress. The broad points from this analysis are detailed
below.
17
Followers
2.21 Followers are the lowest level police functionaries in the Police Department. Their basic
minimum qualification is 7th Std., but they are proficient in different trades like tailoring,
barber, washer-man, cook, water carrier etc. They can be called as semi-executive functionaries
of the Department. The followers play a crucial role in the presentation and upkeep of the force
especially facilitating the ceremonial duties of Police Department like giving guards of honor
to dignitaries, regular drills and parades, and maintenance of police establishments. They also
travel with the platoons to extend crucial logistical support during public order situations,
disaster management situations and armed operations. They wear Khaki uniform and are part
of the police platoon for all practical purposes.
2.22 Followers begin at the Pay Scale of 10400-16400 (Group D) and hardly 1.61 percent of
the Followers superannuate at a higher scale of Jamedar Follower (11600-21000). Their cadre
is unique to Police Department and they have negligible opportunities in their career to get
promotions unlike a Dalayath who can become SDA with requisite qualifications.
2.23 The Committee recommends elevation of the Pay Scale of Follower by one Pay Scale at
entry level that is, from the present 10400-16400 to 11000-19000 and the Pay Scale of Jamedar
Follower from the present 11600-21000 to 12500-24000.
Police Constable
2.24 Rigorous Selection and Training process
Among the various entry level public services in the state, the skill sets required for a Police
Constable job are not readily available to individuals in the open market and these skill sets are
imparted over a nine-month period of rigorous training. The selection process is also very
rigorous, with emphasis on the physical fitness and endurance capacities in addition to basic
academic qualifications and performance in an entrance test.
18
would exceed the 12-hour default norm. The job further involves night patrol or guard duties
on every third day of work.
2.27 The Committee in its analysis also came across departments and positions in State
Government, wherein for the same entry level qualification, minus the rigors of risky and
difficult working conditions, higher Pay Scales were awarded, as shown below.
Table-5
Officials who Begin at Higher Pay Scale than Police Constable
2.28 A comparison with the Pay Table of Telangana shows that Police Constable is placed at
Pay Scale 7 in that state. In Kerala the Police Constable is placed at Pay Scale 7 which is also
the sixth Pay Scale level in Group C. In Maharashtra the Police Constable starts at Pay Scale
8 which is the third level in Pay Band -1. Overall, the Police Constables in these three states
begin at a higher level of the Pay Table, while in Karnataka the Police constable is placed at
Pay Scale 3. A higher placement in the Pay Table is a significant factor for the initial retention
of qualified personnel in the police department.

2.29 Consequences of Anomalous Placement
Statistics of police recruitment and attrition point to a high number of Police Constables leaving
the police organization to join jobs within the same Pay Scale or higher Pay Scales of the state
government, requiring the same entry level qualifications (See Annexure-13 and Figure-1). The
newly recruited Police Constable is thus on the lookout for jobs as the other jobs offer same or
better salary and perks, minus the burden of long duty hours, risk to personal life, imbalances
and stress in their personal and family life. High attrition rates at the Police Constable level is
a worrisome trend with consequences on overall governance, with service delivery to citizens
being the first casualty. Also, it is leading to a vicious cycle of perennial shortage of personnel
at the cutting edge level, despite the efforts of the successive governments to reduce vacancy
position in the Police Department.
2.30 Keeping in mind the unique nature of Police work, its difficult conditions with long work
hours, there is an urgent need to recognize the Police Constable as an important component
of the law enforcement machinery, and enhance entry Pay Scale. This committee is also of the
opinion that, awarding the Police constable a higher Pay Scale would improve overall
governance and also result in better service delivery, lesser attrition and thereby lesser
vacancies in the Police Department. Therefore, the Committee recommends an elevation of
Pay Scale of the Police Constable from the present 11600-21000 to 12500- 24000.
Head Constable
2.31 Long Experience and Work Background
Head Constable (HC) has the background of rigorous training and heavy work load during the
career as Police Constable. The HC is a seasoned police functionary at the field level who
achieves promotion after putting in 15-22 years of service and sustaining a highly rigorous
work schedule as explained in the previous paras.
20
2.33 Anomalous Pay Scale of Head Constable
Head Constable in the Police Department is the first promotional position, for a Police
Constable. This promotion accrues to the HC after 15 to 22 years of service in Civil Police
Units and in Armed Police Units it goes up to 18- 22 years. The counterpart to a Police
Constable, an S.D.A. on first promotion becomes an F.D.A after putting in 12 to 14 years
service on an average, depending on the size of the Unit where the official is working.
However, the most anomalous and discriminatory aspect of the promotion of Police Constable
to Head Constable is seen in the Pay Scale at which the HC is placed on promotion. An SDA
moves from Pay Scale 4 to Pay Scale 7 on promotion as FDA (a three-scale jump). However,
a Constable on promotion to Head Constable is pegged at Pay Scale 5 (12500-24000), only one
Pay Scale elevation from Pay Scale 4.
2.34 Equivalent personnel in other Departments who are placed higher than Head Constable
after their first promotion are shown below.
Table-6
Officials who have Higher Pay Scale than Head Constable
2.35 Comparison with Telangana showed that Police Constable moved four Pay Scale levels
from Pay Scale 7 to Pay Scale 11 in the Pay Table on promotion as Head Constable. In Kerala,
the Police Constable moved from Pay Scale 7 to Pay Scale 10 an elevation of three Pay Scale
21
levels when promoted to the rank of Head Constable. Multiple Pay Scale elevations on
promotion signifies the up-gradation of the work responsibility of the Head Constable and is
crucial for retention of motivation in a challenging career path.
2.36 The Head Constable is relegated in the promotional Pay Scale when compared with
similarly qualified personnel from other Departments. The onerous work profile of the Head
Constable and long work experience require an appropriate Pay Scale. The Committee
recommends that the Pay Scale of the Head Constable be elevated from the present 12500-
24000 to 14550-26700.
2.38 Police Constable on second promotion reaches the level of ASI at Pay Scale 7 in the Pay
Table, whereas an SDA reaches the level of Section Superintendent on second promotion at
Pay Scale 11. Thus, the Section Superintendent reaches Pay Scale 11 from Pay Scale 4, a gain
of seven scales in two promotions. However, the ASI is placed in Pay Scale 7 after two
promotions from Police Constable Pay Scale 4, a jump of only three scales in the Pay Table.
This pattern is again quite revealing and is uniquely disadvantageous and discriminatory to the
police department, wherein, on promotion, the Pay Scale is compressed when compared with
promotional scales of other departments in Government of Karnataka.
22
avenues for Police Constables as they progress in the hierarchy. Coupled with the low Pay
Scale level of these police personnel it has adverse effects on morale and output.
2.40 The figure below shows various officials in the Government of Karnataka who move to a
higher Pay Scale on promotion when compared with the ASI.
Table- 7

2.41 In Telangana, the Asst. Sub Inspector progresses from Pay Scale 7 as Police Constable to
Pay Scale 13, a total elevation of six scales. In Kerala the progression is from Pay Scale 7 to
Pay Scale 12 as Asst. Sub Inspector, an overall elevation of five scales. The pay progression
path in Karnataka described in the foregoing paras compares adversely with these states, a raise
of only three Pay Scales from Pay Scale 4 to Pay Scale 7.
23
2.42 The minimal hike in Pay Scales, on promotion, is uniquely discriminatory and
disadvantageous to cutting edge level Police in Karnataka. The compression of Pay Scale levels
has skewed the overall police pay structure, with the bulk of the organization placed at lower
levels of the official status and pay hierarchy.
2.43 Assistant Sub Inspector is an important field officer in the police system. Majority of police
personnel recruited as Constables retire at the level of Assistant Sub Inspector after performing
the most difficult duties through their careers. It is important to assign them Pay Scales
commensurate with their work profile and background. The Committee recommends that the
Pay Scale of the Assistant Sub Inspector be elevated from the present 14550-26700 to 20000-
36300.

criminal justice system, conferred with extensive powers under the Cr. P. C including the
discretion to use force.
Table-8
Officials Who Have Higher Pay Scale than PSI (On Promotion/DR)
25
2.47 The Pay Scale of PSI (20000-36300) is generally assigned to desk-oriented office staff of
the level of Office Superintendent and not to executive or field officers. Comparison with other
Departments with similar job profiles as the PSI show that majority of them are placed at a
higher scale, at 21600-40500. In Zilla Panchayat, a Panchayat Development Officer gets
inducted through Direct Recruitment with graduation as basic qualification. The PDO’s
jurisdiction is only a Panchayat and the Pay Scale is equivalent to a PSI. However, PDO gets
promoted as Asst. Director (NREGA) rank with a Pay Scale jump to 22800-43200.
2.48 The present placement of the Police Sub Inspector is anomalous in terms of the aptitude,
jurisdiction, and relevance of the work done. The PSI is both relegated at initial stage and
achieves only a one-step hike in Pay Scale when promoted to the next rank. This is not the case
in other officer-level promotions in Government of Karnataka Pay Scales. Hence, this
committee is of the opinion that, the Police Sub Inspector scale should be moved to Pay Scale
14 that is, 22800- 43200, on the same lines as applied to most other public servants in
Government of Karnataka on fourth promotion.
Police Inspector
2.49 Duty Profile
Police Inspector (PI) is first in the line of supervisory officers of the police department. Along
with the Tahsildar the Police Inspectors is the face of government in their jurisdictions. Police
Inspector is either in charge of a Police Circle comprising 2-5 Police Stations or is in-charge of
large Urban Police Stations in major cities like Bangalore. Police Inspector conducts
investigation of heinous offences and also supervise police station level investigation.
26
AAO too moves from Pay Scale 13 to Pay Scale 16, on promotion as Administrative Officer.
However, the Police Sub Inspector who is already at a discriminatory Pay Scale of 11 as
discussed elsewhere in the report, moves just by one scale to Pay Scale 12, when promoted to
the rank of Police Inspector.
Table-9
2.52 The Pay Scale given to the PI does not match even the scale of the Assistant Director or
any other equivalent officer in other Departments who are placed at 22800-43200 leave alone
the fifth level of positions in any other departments particularly Revenue Department. This in
turn places him/her lower than most executive officers in other departments who have similar
profiles or jurisdiction as the PI.
2.53 In Telangana the Police Inspector is placed at Pay Scale 19 and achieves a two level Pay
Scale elevation when promoted from PSI. In Kerala, the PI is placed at Pay Scale 16, a jump
of three Pay Scales from PSI. In both states the Police Inspector is equivalent to Tahsildar, i.e.,
equivalent to Tahsildar Grade-I of Government of Karnataka. In Karnataka, however, the
Police Inspector achieves only one Pay Scale elevation on promotion from the rank of PSI.
2.54 Thus the present Pay Scale of Police Inspector is discriminatory and places the officer in
a disadvantageous position compared to other officers with similar jurisdiction and work
profiles. The legacy of anomalies is carried forward as their next Pay Scale is determined by
27
the original scale. The overall effect of this historically recurring placement has led to lowering
of self-esteem among police officials. Therefore, the Committee strongly recommends a four
Pay Scale elevation for the Police Inspector so as to equate this position with all other
promotional positions in major Departments that is an elevation from the present 21600-40050
to 28100-50100.
2.58 The comparative table of Pay Scales in Government of Karnataka shows that DSP is
placed on par with Tahsildar Grade I of Revenue Department, Senior Asst. Director Grade I
of Social Welfare, Executive Officer of Taluka Panchayat in RDPR, Asst. Commissioner of
Commercial Tax, Principal in Public Instructions Department and Administrative Officer in
Ministerial cadre.
28
Table-10
Officials who have higher Pay Scale than DSP (On Promotion/DR)
2.59 The table above shows the discrepancy in Pay Scale and relative position of the DSP when
compared with their Revenue Department counterparts in Karnataka. This becomes more
glaring when compared with the Pay Scales of the Assistant Commissioners and Deputy
Superintendents of Police in states like, Maharashtra, Kerala and Telangana. In the states of
Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala, the DSP rank officers and the Assistant
Commissioners of Revenue Department are placed in the same Pay Scale. The position of DSP
vis-à-vis officers of equivalent jurisdiction in other departments has implications for the
discharge of important legal responsibilities vested with this office.
2.60 According to the principles of public service, pay, status commensurate with work profile
and equivalence with peers in other departments are necessary conditions for motivation. It is
important to invest an important officer like the DSP who handles sensitive work in the
government with due legal status and necessary ingredients for motivation. The Committee
therefore recommends that the DSP should be elevated to the Pay Scale of 30400-51300 from
the present 28100 -50100.

53850. The following table shows the anomalous placement of the Superintendent of Police
(Non IPS).

2.63 SP (Non IPS) is equated with Deputy Collector Senior Grade / Additional Joint Collector
in Telangana and in Kerala the SP is placed one Pay Scale level higher than Deputy Collector.
In Telangana on promotion from DSP, the SP gains an elevation of five Pay Scale levels from
Pay Scale level 19 to 24. Similarly in Kerala the gain is five levels form Pay Scale level 22 to
level 27. In Karnataka however the gain is only three Pay Scale levels from Pay Scale level 16
to 19, but two levels lower than the Assistant Commissioner Selection Grade. There is an
adverse equation with other departments and promotional gain pattern for SP in Karnataka.
30
Important Findings
2.65 The above analyses point to specific anomalies in the pay and status of police personnel
from Police Constable to Superintendent of Police:
a. The Pay Scales of Police Constable, Head Constable, Assistant Sub Inspector and
Police Sub Inspector are relegated at entry and promotion points leading to an overall
compression of the field-level functionaries of the Police Department in lower echelons
of the pay and status hierarchy.
b. This relegation is discriminatory because there is a marked difference between the way
equivalent posts in other Departments are placed at entry and promotion and the way
police positions are placed and elevated.
c. The Pay Scales of Police Inspector, Deputy Superintendent of Police and
Superintendent of Police (Non-IPS) are not commensurate with their responsibilities,
qualifications and public roles. The need for parity has been recognized in States like
Kerala, Maharashtra, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh as the pay scales of these police
officers have been equated with other department officers with similar responsibilities.
d. There are marked differences between the pay parity situation in Karnataka and other
neighboring states as can be seen in Table-2, Figures-3 and 4 and Annexures-9 and 10.
a. Revision of the Pay Scale of the Follower ranks, the lowest rung of the Police
Department to a higher level keeping in mind the difficult nature of work and the
complete lack of promotional avenues, except one promotion for a small percentage of
the total strength.
31
Table-12
Recommendation of Pay Scale Elevation (Followers)
b. The Pay Scale of Police Constable to be elevated by one Pay Scale, as recognition of
the difficult nature of work. The Pay Scales of Head Constable, Assistant Sub Inspector
and Police Sub Inspector need to be revised in conformity with the parameters of
promotion set forth by the Pay Committee of the Government of Karnataka, and
equivalence given in neighboring states. The recommended Pay Scales would by and
large correct the anomaly in status vis-à-vis the officials of equivalent rank in other
departments and also assure a fair career progression path for the Constabulary.
Table-13
Recommendation of Pay Scale Elevation (PC to ASI)
32
c. The Pay Scale of Police Inspector, Deputy Superintendent of Police, and
Superintendent of Police (Non IPS) should be on par with officials with similar
jurisdictions and work profiles. A number of states in India have recognized this need
for parity for police officials as they progress in their career path. The Committee
therefore recommends increase in the Pay Scales of PI, DSP and SP to be on par with
their counterparts in other Departments.

Allowances for Police Personnel Chapter 3
Introduction
3.1 The distinctive institutional arrangement, contingent work conditions, and the extreme
human capital expenditure of police should be addressed through a specially designed system
of allowances. This Committee studied the system of allowances in different states and
compared it with the prevalent system of allowances for police personnel in Karnataka (See
Annexure-14).
3.2 The Committee also addressed the need to develop a proper framework to streamline the
system of allowances for police personnel. The three broad categories of risk, hardship and
exertion were framed to align the different types of existing allowances and recommend new
ones. The allowances given to Karnataka police personnel compensated for conventional risks,
provided incentives for special tasks and reimbursed only few of the hardships of police work.
The revised system of allowances will address non-conventional risks, unrecognized hardships
and the extreme stress caused by police work.
3.4 Following is a summary of the comparison between the allowances in Karnataka and select
other states:
a. In terms of base allowances given to all police personnel irrespective of unit affiliation
or individual achievement, Karnataka has sanctioned Uniform Maintenance Allowance
at the rate of ₹100 per month. Uniform Maintenance Allowance is a staple in all state
police departments. Most other states in India have sanctioned Uniform Maintenance
34
Allowance / Washing / Kit Maintenance Allowance at a monthly rate ranging from ₹100
to ₹300.
b. In terms of allowances given to special units Karnataka has 32 such units entitled for
special allowances. The amount ranges from ₹100 to ₹8000 for various levels of the
police department. Telangana and Andhra Pradesh police provide 50% of basic pay as
special allowance for some of their specialized armed units, which works out to a
monthly allowance of ₹8,200 to 28,500.
d. There are a number of other allowances like, Risk Allowance, Transport or Conveyance
allowance, Hard Duty allowance and Special Police allowance in states like Tamil Nadu,
Delhi, Rajasthan, Kerala and Telangana that could be introduced as part of a long term
plan of additional compensation for Police personnel in Karnataka.
Determination of Allowances
3.5 Allowances are wage supplements that cater to ongoing contingencies of the employees
and special needs of the organization or sub-specializations within it. The system of allowances
recognizes and compensates for the distinctive role and functions of the police in society. The
broad principles that cover the determination of pay can be extended to the determination of
allowances and require specific rationale for supplementary compensation.
35
3.7 The police organization has to retain a constant and high level of readiness to face these
challenges and perform a growing number of tasks. Additionally, due to a constant engagement
with the local social context and the possibility of increased hostility from some individuals,
groups or interests these challenges often result in a spiraling effect on the individual personnel.
Therefore, there is need for a constant up-gradation and review of the system of allowances for
policemen.
Risk Allowance
3.9 Risk is a staple in all forms of public work. In the case of the police it is more so because
of the following reasons:
a. Police perform tough law enforcement tasks which involve hostile interactions with the
most dangerous elements of society;
b. Police protect the most important and threatened individuals and installations in society;
c. Police are the first responders and last resort in most natural and man-made
contingencies.
3.10 All these functions entail risks that extend beyond the normal contingencies of public
work. It is also important to recognize that there are a variety of passive or non-conventional
risks in police work. A Police officer doing regular enforcement work faces many long term
psychological harms, malignant recoils and passive predations in the course of work. Guarding
a dead body in most unhygienic and isolated place, guarding the prisoners in hospitals, entering
the hazardous industry during law and order problems or any disaster, protecting the celebrities
as well as highly threatened criminals are some of the other risky duties that they have to
perform. In case of traffic police, exposure to a high risk pollution, and rude behaviour of
commuters, sometimes resulting in physical attack are some of the professional risks. Many
36
times the policemen who go for raids or searches or other operations face serious and false
allegations causing mental turmoil and a blot on their career. On many occasions, without any
fault on their part, they have to fight a long and strenuous legal battle to come out of these
tangles unblemished. Such legal battles are hardly supported by the Government or the Police
Department. These risks cause mental hardship apart from financial liability to the police. The
police face risks not only to their life but also to their reputation, self-respect, family life, mental
and physical health etc., which cannot be quantified.
3.11 Rationale
The 6th Pay Committee of Karnataka State, in its report dated 12th March, 2012 has defined the
officials who deserve sanction of risk allowance (P. 69 para 8.2.3)
“8.2.3 The Committee has examined the rationale for payment of Risk Allowance/Special
Allowance. In the considered opinion of the Committee the cases which deserve sanction of
Risk Allowance/Special Allowance are the posts requiring discharge of duties.
(i) Which are specially arduous
(ii) Warranting putting in of long hours of work both before and after office hours
(iii) In unhealthy and unhygienic condition
(iv) Involving handling of hazardous substances
(v) Involving exposure to toxic materials and radiation
(vi) Involving risk and threat to life and great hardship
(vii) Dealing with patients / animals with contagious diseases.”
The duties of police personnel fall well within the parameters defined by the Official Pay
Committee-2012.
37
states have such allowances for designated special units. All these allowances, which are
designated as special allowances address conventional risks and work done in special units.
There is need for a general allowance to address the embedded risks in all police work and also
cover regular Civil and Armed Police work under the ambit of this allowance.
3.13 Criteria
On recommendation of Official Pay Committee-2011, Government has passed an Order No.
FD 12 SRP 2012 dated 14th June, 2012, wherein the staff engaged in field investigation in
Lokayukta are given a special allowance as below:
Table-15
Special Allowances in Lokayukta
Sl.No. Rank Allowance
1 Police Constable ₹1700
2 Head Constable ₹2000
3 Police Sub-Inspector ₹3000
4 Police Inspector ₹3300
5 DSP ₹4200
6 S.P. (Non-IPS) ₹4800
Similarly, the police personnel posted in connection with the security of Vidhana Soudha and
Vikasa Soudha have been sanctioned a special allowance as below:
Table-16
Special Allowances in Vidhana Soudha & Vikasa Soudha
Sl.No. Rank Allowance
1 Police Constable ₹650
2 Head Constable ₹800
3 Police Sub-Inspector ₹1150
4 Police Inspector ₹1250
The Committee used these two allocations as benchmarks to determine the quantum of risk
allowance to all police personnel for all types of risks they face in police work.
38
3.14 Recommendation
The work of all police personnel involves the risks listed by the 6th Pay Committee of the State
Government. The Committee arrived at a scaled determination for Risk Allowance for all
police personnel by taking the average amount sanctioned for Lokayuktha police and Vidhana
Soudha Security. The following amounts may be sanctioned as risk allowance to all police
personnel:
3.16 Police personnel face a severe lag between the resources available to fulfill work
expectations and the growing profile of tasks they entail. This source of hardship is particularly
acute to personnel with field duties who undertake the bulk of the police work and have to draw
a balance between:
a. Increasing mobility demands in the course of police work
b. Frequent alternations of role in regular police work
c. The increasing number of tasks within each police role or function
The Committee chose the hardship associated with increased mobility requirements in police
work and the lag in resources to fulfil them to determine the sanction of conveyance allowance
to police personnel.
3.17 Rationale
Police personnel from the rank of Constable to Assistant Sub Inspector have not been provided
with two wheelers/four wheelers in the Police Department. Most often they have to commute
from their place of residence to the place of work at odd hours and in emergent situations. Due
to the urgency of work it is often not possible to use public transport. Many a time they use
their own two wheelers to commute even for official work like beat duty, visit to the scene of
39
offence, service of notice, summons, warrants etc., (within the town or nearby place). The field
police personnel have to reach the place of work at odd hours without postponement and delay
and in these circumstances availability of public transport is very rare.
3.19 Criteria
Police personnel on field duty in the districts travel a distance of 20 kms. per day (600 kms.
per month) on an average and in city areas 25 kms. per day (750 kms. per month). Thus, an
average consumption of petrol per month is about 19 ltrs. in city area and 15 ltrs. in district
area. Taking a standard rate of consumption as 40 kms. per ltr. for a 2 wheeler, it can be fairly
concluded that the police personnel from the level of Police Constable to ASI spend about
₹1300 to ₹1400 per month in a city and ₹1050 to ₹1100 per month elsewhere. This figure is
calculated by assuming average rate of petrol at ₹70/ltr. In Bangalore, the monthly pass of
BMTC buses costs ₹1050 and KSRTC bus pass rate ranges from ₹900 to ₹1,600 for a city bus
or mofussil service in other parts of the Karnataka state. Hence, the committee calculated the
average of rough actual expenses on monthly fuel and the bus pass rates to determine the
quantum of Conveyance allowance.
3.20 Recommendation
The Committee recommends that conveyance allowance be extended to police personnel from
the rank of Police Constable to Asst. Sub-inspector, including Followers and Jamedar
Followers at the rate of ₹1200 per month.
40
Exertion and its Compensation through Fatigue Allowances
3.21 Human capital is the sum of aptitudes, skills and motivational ingredients of work. The
social context and the organizational conditions of most types of public work facilitate and
conserve their human capital. On the other hand, the peculiar contingencies of policing and the
intensity of tasks it entails, results in depletion of the human capital necessary for police work.
Work stress is an important reason for this degradation of human resources within police
organizations.
3.22 The important ingredients that catalyze the skills and aptitudes of police work are positive
morale, discipline and commitment. Regular police work especially for field functionaries
result in depletion of morale due to:
a. Physical and Psychological stress in regular work
b. Uncertainty of work closure and outcome
c. Inordinate extension of work hours
d. Intense monotony and repetition in routine protection functions.
The committee decided to identify three important types of police work as sources of extreme
exertion and stress to police personnel and determined an appropriate fatigue allowance to
compensate for them.
3.23 Rationale
Prolonged periods of exertion lead to fatigue and stress. Fatigue in police work is the state of
exhaustion of mental and physical energies. It has a cascading effect on police morale leading
to a “police sub culture” of low self-esteem and sense of deprivation. A recent study sponsored
by BPR&D and conducted by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Ram
Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi has concluded that a large number of policemen are
fatigued due to erratic work hours, lack of sleep extended shift duties, sudden onset of
emergency, poor and untimely food etc. The fatigue tends to increase irritability and anxiety,
while diminishing the capacity to make proper decisions and increases the probability of
misconduct. The Committee observed from the following graph that Arogya Bhagya claims of
police personnel have shown an increasing trend over the years which is an adverse fallout of
growing stress within police. The figure below illustrates this trend.

Year
3.24 The unique types of duties that represent high incidence of work exertion and fatigue for
policemen are detailed below.
3.26 Guard and Reserve Duties: “Life begins in van and ends in a van”
The District Armed Reserve / City Armed Reserve and Karnataka State Reserve Police
Personnel act as a backup force for the Civil Police and perform miscellaneous duties. Apart
from routine duties, their mandate is to guard the vital installations and important buildings,
disputed and vulnerable places or structures etc. The Armed Police are the ceremonial face of
the Government and discharge a wide range of duties during all important State Functions
42
including Parades, Oath-taking ceremonies and State Funerals. During law and order
situations, striking forces are forced to wait in the police vans for long hours. Apart from this,
they are also deployed for escort of prisoners. Majority of the policemen involved in anti-
naxalite operations and election bandobast duties belong to reserve police. These policemen
have to be away from families for long period and get exposed to different climatic conditions
affecting their mental and physical health. It is popular adage in police that a “life of a reserve
policemen begins in van and ends in the police van”. This kind of hazardous and monotonous
performance of duty in adverse conditions leads to fatigue.
3.29 Criteria
For the determination of Fatigue Allowance the Committee used the standard rate of expenses
incurred by police personnel during regular duty, as calculated by the Ministry of Home
Affairs, Government of India. MHA has fixed ₹95.52 as the average daily expense incurred by
police personnel in its order dated 17 April 2015. The daily expense rate is the most feasible
criteria to compensate for additional work stress and fatigue.
43
3.30 The duty profiles of Traffic, Civil and Armed Police personnel involve different levels of
exertion and stress. An important aspect of Armed Police duties is the sheer monotony of work
and uncertainty of work locations. These personnel have to stay away from home for long
periods in difficult conditions, and cope with frequent changes in climate, food and water. They
do not get proper accommodation due to contingencies of the work situation. The Committee
therefore determined separate rates for compensation of fatigue associated with civil and traffic
police work on the one hand and all types of armed and special police work on the other.
3.31 Recommendation
The committee decided that police personnel from Constable to the rank of PI who work in
traffic and civil police stations should be sanctioned fatigue allowance at the standard rate
for 10 days of a month. Armed Police personnel from Follower to SP should be sanctioned
fatigue allowance at standard rate for 25 days of a month.
The committee therefore recommends a monthly fatigue allowance at the following rates:
1) All Armed Police Personnel including KSISF, Finger Print Bureau and Wireless
Follower to SP - ₹2500 per month
2) Traffic and Civil Police Personnel
Police Constable to PI - ₹1000 per month
Other Allowances
3.32 Enhancement of Uniform Maintenance Allowance
At present the Policemen of all ranks are paid ₹100 per month as allowance for maintaining
uniform. This has been sanctioned as per the recommendation of the 6th Pay Committee. There
has been a strong demand from the Police Association and also other Police personnel to
enhance the Uniform Maintenance Allowance due to inflation and other factors.
3.33 The Committee made the following rough estimations of the regular renewal and
maintenance expenses of police uniform:
a. Police personnel are required to wear uniform for 25 days a month on average
b. Wear and tear due to use in adverse physical conditions forces change in uniform at
least once in six months
c. Washing and ironing the uniform involves a daily expenditure of ₹20 at prevailing
market rates.
44
3.34 Therefore, the Committee recommends that the Uniform Maintenance Allowance of
Followers and Police personnel of all ranks excluding IPS officers be enhanced from ₹100 per
month to ₹500 per month.
3.36 Hence, the Committee recommends an incentive allowance of ₹500 for all police
personnel who have Body Mass Index between 18.5 and 24.9. It is recommended that the BMI
ratio should be taken as a standard during the Annual Health checkup of police personnel,
which has been introduced recently by Karnataka Government. This allowance may be
discontinued for the police personnel who do not adhere to the recommended BMI ratio during
the Annual Health Checkup.
45
Police Welfare Measures Chapter 4
Introduction
4.1 All organizations create work contexts that assure an optimal work-life balance for their
personnel. In public organizations the work-life balance is assured through a defined work
schedule, proper work conditions, perks, and grievance redress systems. In police organizations
however the peculiar mixture of functions and the extreme individual risks and hardships they
entail, efface the distinction between work and regular life for its personnel. The concept of 24
–hour duty and on-call availability etc. represent the suspension of this distinction in the course
of police work.
4.2 Another dimension of police work is that, the personal life of police personnel and their
families are scrutinized to an extent that, normal life, renewal, and leisure activities become
difficult, contentious, and prone to distortion. It is important therefore to ensure that police
personnel are covered by a comprehensive welfare net that covers the following:
a. Alternative provision of social infrastructure
b. Provision for contingencies beyond regular pay and allowances
c. Family Care and Advancement
4.3 The Committee has studied the demands made by the Karnataka Police Officers
Association. The most important demands have been addressed in the recommendations on pay
and allowances. Another set of demands relate to the up-gradation of existing work
infrastructure and facilities. The third set of demands concern the provision of welfare
measures. The Committee was not mandated to study and make recommendations on police
work conditions and welfare measures. Therefore, in this part we do not make any specific
recommendations but restrict to a clarification on the role of police welfare and its relation with
the pay and allowances of police personnel. The Committee has listed the general areas that
can be addressed through a police welfare system. This clarification is important to ensure that
the distinct aspects of police work are addressed through the appropriate form of compensation
and support.
46
Life Disruption and Need for a Safety Net
4.4 Police work entails multiple risks, hardships, and exertions which have the following long
term effects on police personnel:
a. Physical problems and health ailments
b. Disruption of personal and family life
c. Economic crises and insecurities.
4.5 These problems require an additional support system that addresses the contingencies and
long term welfare requirements of police personnel. The Committee sees the need for a secure
police welfare system to function as a safety net for all police personnel. The welfare system
provides very crucial assurance to police personnel who work in hostile conditions. The need
for a long term safety net for police personnel is distinct from the issues of pay parity and
compensation of ongoing risks, hardships and exertions through allowances. The safety net
addresses the long term impact of police work and its collateral effects on the dependents of
police personnel. It also helps insulate the police personnel from regular civil-social
dependencies that could compromise their ability to function in a free and fair manner.
47
a. The provision of family support services for police personnel
b. The provision of an alternative source of social infrastructure for police personnel
c. The provision of leisure and rehabilitation services for police personnel
4.8 The Committee also advocates for a periodic review and expansion of the police welfare
system to address the growing needs of police personnel and their families working in a fast-
changing society. It is important to distinguish between the regular work compensation and the
provision of welfare services. The rationale for each form of compensation and support are
different and their provisions cannot be interchanged or substituted. The following table
illustrates the role of each form of compensation in the police system:
Table-17
Role and Value of Different Types of Compensation
4.9 The committee was not mandated to study the welfare measures for police personnel and
therefore no recommendations are made. However, the committee strongly advocates the
continuation of present welfare measures instituted by Karnataka Police on a dynamic basis
to fulfill the changing needs of Police personnel.

5.8 The monthly additional expenditure for the Government works out to approximately ₹72.97
Crores (Rupees Seventy Two Crores Ninety Seven Lakhs) and the Annual expenditure to
₹875.67 Crores (Rupees Eight Hundred Seventy Five Crores and Sixty Seven Lakhs). The
annual expenditure from Revised Pay Scales works out to ₹281.42 Crores (Rupees Two
Hundred Eighty One Crores and Forty Two Lakhs) and the annual expenditure from increased
allowances works out to ₹594.24 Crores (Rupees Five Hundred Ninety Four Crores and
Twenty Four Lakhs). The detailed estimates are given in Annexure-15.
5.9 The additional financial expenditure calculation was made in terms of the sanctioned
strength of police. Also, there are allowances like Fatigue allowance and Fitness allowance
which have a qualifying condition but the calculation was made for the total strength. The
actual expenditure may therefore be lower.

provided in the BPR&D publications, Government Notifications and Pay slips to
determine the common allowances given to police personnel. However there can be
minor discrepancies as the standards for allowances are not uniform across the
country.
