Paramedical salary in India depends on the role, the employer and the pay level of the post. In central government recruitment notices, paramedical technician posts sit at Pay Levels 2 to 6 of the central pay matrix, which means basic pay from \u20b919,900 to \u20b91,12,400 a month before allowances. Private pay has no official source, but job sites report about \u20b91.9 to \u20b93.7 lakh a year (roughly \u20b916,000 to \u20b931,000 a month) for staff with up to about 10 years of experience, depending on the site. This guide shows the official figures, the reported private ranges, what “basic pay” leaves out, and the paramedical jobs behind each field.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Counts as a Paramedical Job<\/b><\/h2>\n

A paramedical job is a healthcare role that supports doctors and nurses without being either: the lab technician who runs your blood test, the radiographer who takes your scan, the technician who prepares the operation theatre. Under the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021, many of these roles are recognised as allied health professions (<\/span>India Code<\/span><\/a>). For the full meaning and types, read <\/span>What Is a Paramedical Course?<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paramedical Salary in Government Jobs: What the Notices Show<\/b><\/h2>\n

A government recruitment notice names the post, the pay level, the qualification and the age limit. That makes it the one place where a paramedical salary can be checked instead of guessed. The table above follows the pay levels these posts are advertised at, and the same field can sit at different levels depending on the post and the qualification asked. A lab post that asks for a one-year DMLT is at Level 2; a lab post that asks for a bachelor\u2019s degree is at Level 6.<\/span><\/p>\n

The figures are basic pay. Allowances that apply to the employer are added to it and deductions are taken from it, so the amount that reaches your bank account is different. The level belongs to the post and the institute, not to the job title alone, so always read the current notice for the post you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

AIIMS Paramedical Salary<\/b><\/h3>\n

AIIMS paramedical posts follow the same pay matrix. In AIIMS New Delhi Notice No. 58\/2025, dated 13 March 2025, the Technologist (OT) post is at Level 5, with basic pay of \u20b929,200 to \u20b992,300 a month, and it asks for a B.Sc in Anaesthesia and Operation Theatre Technology or a B.Sc in OT Technology or Anaesthesia Technology (<\/span>AIIMS notice<\/span><\/a>). Other AIIMS posts have their own levels, so check the notice for the post you are aiming at. The detail is in our guide to <\/span>OT technician salary<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
