SSC MTS salary: the reviewed notification placed both MTS and Havaldar in Pay Level 1 under the 7th Pay Commission pay matrix. Both were Group C, non-gazetted, non-ministerial posts. This is the verified 2025 recruitment classification, not a forecast of a future pay revision.

| Post | Pay level | Where recruited |
|---|---|---|
| MTS | Level 1 | Listed Central Government ministries, departments, offices and other bodies |
| Havaldar | Level 1 | CBIC and CBN under the Department of Revenue |
Basic pay is not take-home pay
Pay level identifies a position in the pay matrix. Gross pay includes admissible allowances, while take-home pay follows deductions. Posting, accommodation, service conditions and individual circumstances affect the amount. Do not treat a single city-wise estimate as a guaranteed monthly deposit.
This guide does not reuse an old DA percentage, promise a fixed net salary, or calculate an unannounced future pay revision. Use the appointment letter and applicable official pay/allowance orders for an actual calculation.
Compare duties and selection requirements
Sharing Level 1 does not make MTS and Havaldar identical roles. Havaldar had a physical-test requirement under this notice; MTS selection used the computer-based scheme and applicable preferences. Review duties, eligibility, posting and service rules alongside salary.
