BPSC TRE 4.0 Salary 2026 – What You’ll Actually Take Home
This is the section most candidates jump straight to, so let’s get into the numbers. Selected teachers will draw a fixed basic pay depending on the class level they’re recruited for, along with Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), and medical benefits as per Bihar Government norms.
| Class / Post | Basic Pay | Grade Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Classes 1–5 (Primary Teacher) | ₹25,000 | ₹2,400 |
| Classes 6–8 (Middle School Teacher) | ₹28,000 | ₹2,800 |
| Classes 9–10 (Secondary Teacher) | ₹31,000 | ₹3,200 |

💡 Pro Tip: Your final in-hand salary will be higher than the basic pay shown above once DA and HRA are added — the exact amount depends on your posting location (urban or rural) and the applicable DA rate at the time of joining. Treat the basic pay figures as your starting reference point, not your final take-home.
