# Kharidar Salary in Nepal: How to Check the 2082/83 Pay Scale Check the official Kharidar pay scale for fiscal year 2082/83 and learn how grade, allowances, deductions, and posting affect take-home pay. Canonical: https://gyanudaan.com/blog/kharidar-salary-nepal-2082/ Language: en Author: GyanUdaan Team Published: 2026-03-01T00:00:00.000Z Updated: 2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z This page is a historical guide to the Kharidar pay scale for fiscal year 2082/83. Use the [Department of National Personnel Records (Civil) salary archive](https://pis.gov.np/pages/salary-from-2017-onwards-1102813625/) to locate the official scale that was effective during that fiscal year; a newer scale must not be applied retroactively. ## Current federal civil-service reference: FY 2083/84 The FCGO schedule effective from 1 Shrawan 2083 (FY 2083/84) lists the starting basic salary for federal civil-service non-gazetted second-class posts, the classification used for Kharidar, as **NPR 36,192**. It provides 10 grades at NPR 1,206 each, for NPR 48,252 after all listed grades. These are the 2083/84 figures, not a verified 2082/83 rate.

A Kharidar-equivalent position in another service or institution may follow a different scale. ## How to verify the basic salary In the official archive, match the effective date and the civil-service post classification to the appointment you are researching. “Kharidar” may appear as a non-gazetted second-class post; check the service and post in the applicable notice rather than assuming every equivalent post shares one scale. The archive also lists grade amounts and maximum grades, which should be read with the applicable service rules. The Ministry of Finance publishes updated civil-servant pay-scale decisions separately. For a current appointment, check the Ministry’s [official publications and notices](https://mof.gov.np/category/dcr/) and use the scale effective on the relevant date; do not apply a later scale to FY 2082/83. ## Basic pay, gross pay, and take-home pay - **Basic pay** is the salary-scale amount for the employee’s post and grade. - **Gross pay** may include only allowances for which that employee and posting qualify. Do not assume a fixed food, communication, or remote-area allowance applies to every Kharidar. - **Take-home pay** depends on lawful deductions and the employee’s circumstances. It cannot be calculated from basic pay alone without the relevant tax, contribution, and allowance rules. The exact amount payable to an individual should be confirmed against the applicable government scale, service rules, posting-related allowance decision, and payroll statement. This article does not estimate net pay, pension, or benefits. ## A practical verification checklist 1. Identify the fiscal year and date the scale took effect. 2. Match the exact post, service, and non-technical/technical classification. 3. Read the starting salary and grade increments from the official table. 4. Check separate official decisions for allowances and eligibility conditions. 5. Subtract only deductions that apply to the employee under the rules in force. For the exam side of this role, see the [Kharidar syllabus and study-plan guide](/blog/kharidar-syllabus-2083-complete-guide). Salary tables are historical references; the current official decision takes precedence for a present-day job offer or payroll question. ## FAQ ### What is the official source for Kharidar pay? Use the Department of National Personnel Records (Civil) archive for historical salary scales and the Ministry of Finance for later pay-scale decisions. Verify the effective date and post classification in the source. ### Does the salary-scale figure equal take-home pay? No. A salary-scale entry does not by itself include every eligible allowance or deduction. The final payable amount depends on the applicable rules and individual posting. ### Does a remote posting automatically add a fixed allowance? This guide does not establish an allowance amount. Check the government decision and the employee’s eligible posting category before including an allowance in a calculation.
