Hi I want to know that how the Military Service Pay MSP is distributes among the CAPF so if you have some info please provide me the brief note ??

Well the Military Service Pay (MSP) paid to defence forces personnel is based on the recommendations made by the VI CPC and constitutes a distinct aspect of the emolument structure of the defence forces personnel.

The Defence Services have made the following demands:

MSP be considered for annual increments and

MSP for MNS officers be granted at 70 percent of the rate proposed for equivalent rank of Defence Service Officers

MSP be granted to all officers and all JCOs/OR of the Defence Services at graded rates.

MSP granted must be distinguished from the ‘edge in starting pay’.



The Commission has seen that the current rates of MSP applicable to the defence personnel is Rs.1,000 per month for Non Combatant (Enrolled), Rs.2,000 per month for JCOs/ORs, Rs.4,200 per month for Nursing Officers and Rs.6,000 per month for the Service Officers.

MSP is reckoned as Basic Pay for purposes of Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance as also in the computation of pension.

The Commission has taken note of the proposals of the Defence Services and has recommended a separate rate of MSP for Military Nursing Service Officers.

The rates of MSP for Military Nursing Service Officers have been revised by a factor of 2.57 from the existing ?4,200 per month to 10,800 per month.

The revision factor is identical to what is being recommended in the case of Service officers.
