Allowances
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dearness Allowance | Revised quarterly, linked to the consumer price index |
| House Rent Allowance | Depends on the class of the posting city; official accommodation may be provided instead |
| Special Allowance | A fixed percentage of basic pay, as per the rules of the participating bank |
| Other benefits | Medical aid, leave fare concession, provident fund, pension under NPS, and concessional staff loans for housing, vehicle and education |
Staff loans at concessional rates are the most undervalued part of a bank package — a housing loan several percentage points below the market rate is worth more over a career than the difference in basic pay between two banks.
Career progression
Promotion runs through the officer grades — Junior Management Scale I, Middle Management Scales II and III, and Senior Management above — by a mix of seniority, internal written tests and interviews. Clerical staff can move into the officer cadre through internal promotion.
