Mathematics of salary of an IAS officer
If we look at the 7th Pay Commission data, the earnings of an IAS officer increase depending on the rank and experience:
- Starting Salary: The basic salary of a new IAS officer is Rs 56,100 per month. If facilities like Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA) and Traveling Allowance (TA) are added to it, then the starting gross salary reaches approximately Rs 1,50,000 per month. According to this, the annual gross salary of a new IAS officer comes to around Rs 18 lakh.
- maximum salary: After years of service, when an officer reaches the highest post of his career i.e. the post of ‘Cabinet Secretary’ of India, then his basic salary is maximum Rs 2,50,000 per month (about Rs 30 lakh annually).
Khan sir’s ed-tech empire and his earnings
Now let’s talk about Khan sir, whose real name is Faisal Khan. Today Khan sir has become not only a teacher but also a big entrepreneur in the education world.
- Annual and Monthly Income: According to various reports, Khan sir’s annual income is around Rs 3 to 4 crores. He earns Rs 10 to 20 lakh every month.
- Main sources of earning: A major part of his income comes from his YouTube channel ‘Khan GS Research Centre’. From this channel which has more than 24 million (2.4 crore) subscribers, he earns Rs 10 to 12 lakh every month only from advertisements and sponsorships.
- Offline and Online Coaching: Khan Global Studies (KGS) has offline centers in Patna, Delhi, Prayagraj and Dehradun, where the annual course fees range from Rs 20,000 to Rs 1,00,000. Apart from this, lakhs of students are connected through their app.
- Net Worth: According to media reports, Khan sir’s estimated net worth by 2026 is estimated to be between Rs 5 crore to Rs 46 crore (approximately $5 million).
You will be even more surprised to know that Khan sir had rejected the offer of Rs 107 crore from a big ed-tech company to maintain his policy of affordable education. This journey of Khan Sir, who once earned only Rs 40 after teaching all day and had to go home on foot due to lack of bus fare of Rs 90, is very inspiring.
So how many times more does Khan Sir earn than an IAS?
Let’s compare directly: If we consider the maximum annual salary (Rs 30 lakh) of a top ranked IAS officer (Cabinet Secretary) as the basis, then Khan sir earns about 10 to 13 times more than that with his annual income of Rs 3 to 4 crore. At the same time, if we compare this with the annual gross salary of Rs 18 lakh of an entry-level IAS officer, then Khan sir’s earning is about 16 to 22 times more than that of a new IAS.
The job of an IAS officer is to run the administration of the country smoothly, make policies and maintain law and order. This is a service which cannot be measured by money. On the other hand, a teacher like Khan sir has proved that in this era of digital revolution, passion for sharing knowledge can give you fame as well as an economic position which is many times bigger than the salary of the biggest bureaucrats of the country.
