OT technician salary in India depends on the employer, the post and your qualification, and the clearest figures come from government recruitment. AIIMS New Delhi lists a Technologist (OT) post at Pay Level 5 of the 7th Pay Commission matrix, a basic pay range of \u20b929,200 to \u20b992,300 a month, and asks for a B.Sc in anaesthesia and operation theatre technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

Private hospitals set their own pay and there is no official scale for them, so this guide stays with what official notices state. It also covers what moves an OT technician’s pay and the four-year route that leads to these posts.<\/span><\/p>\n

OT Technician Salary in Government Hospitals<\/b><\/h2>\n

Government posts carry a pay level, and each level has a fixed basic pay range. The table shows the OT-related posts in AIIMS New Delhi’s notice for its Common Recruitment Examination (CRE-2024).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The level belongs to the post and the institute, not to the job title alone. A Level 5 range starts at \u20b929,200, which is the lowest basic pay on that level. The matrix shows basic pay only. Allowances that apply to the employer are added to it and deductions are taken from it, so the amount you receive each month is different. Pay levels can also change when government pay is revised, so read the latest recruitment notice before you plan around any figure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Salary of an OT Technician in Private Hospitals<\/b><\/h2>\n

Private hospitals and surgical centres decide the pay for each role themselves. There is no government scale for it and no official source publishes a private-sector figure, so treat any single number you see online as a claim and not a standard.<\/span><\/p>\n
