GSL Trainee Project Executive Salary 2026

This is the section most candidates want to see first, so here are the real numbers. Trainee Project Executives are paid a consolidated monthly amount that increases each year of the contract:

70% of this consolidated pay is treated as Basic Pay for calculating statutory benefits such as Provident Fund (PF) and Gratuity. Since this is a defence PSU contractual role and not a regular pay-scale post, don’t expect DA or HRA on top — the consolidated figure is your full monthly package.
