NBEMS Junior Assistant and Stenographer Salary 2026
This is what most aspirants want to know first, so let’s get straight to it.
The Junior Assistant post carries Pay Level 2 of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) pay matrix, with a basic pay band of approximately ₹19,900 to ₹63,200 per month. On top of this basic pay, selected candidates will also draw Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and Transport Allowance (TA) as applicable to their posting location — so your actual in-hand salary will be noticeably higher than the basic figure alone.
