Home Guard Salary Structure (2025 Updates)

The Home Guard is a voluntary force in India tasked with assisting the police in maintaining law and order. Unlike regular police constables who receive a monthly salary based on the 7th Pay Commission, Home Guards are typically paid a Daily Duty Allowance (DDA). This means they are paid only for the days they are assigned duty.

📌 Key Salary Components

  • Daily Duty Allowance: The core of the salary. It varies by state (e.g., ₹796/day in UP, ₹894/day in Bihar).
  • Allowances: Some states provide extra allowances for uniform, washing, or travel, but these are not universal.
  • No Regular Perks: Generally, Home Guards do not get DA, HRA, or Pension like permanent government employees, although some states are introducing welfare funds.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is Home Guard job permanent?
Technically, Home Guard service is voluntary and often contractual (e.g., 3 to 5-year terms). However, many states extend service until retirement age (60 years) with regular renewals.
Do Home Guards get Pension?
Generally, No. Since they are considered volunteers paid on a daily basis, they are not entitled to a government pension. However, some states provide a lump-sum “Retirement Benefit” or gratuity.
How is the daily rate calculated?
The Supreme Court has directed that Home Guards should be paid a daily allowance equal to the minimum pay of a Police Constable (Basic + DA) divided by 30 days. This is why rates like ₹796 (UP) exist.
What if I don’t get duty for a few days?
Home Guards are paid strictly on a “No Work, No Pay” basis. If you are not assigned duty or are absent, you will not receive pay for those specific days.
Is there a uniform allowance?
Yes, most states provide a fixed annual or bi-annual Uniform Allowance (Kit Maintenance Allowance) to cover the cost of the Khaki uniform and boots.
