Unpacking
the ECGC PO Salary: A ₹ 20 Lakh Package |
The
compensation for an ECGC Probationary Officer is a significant highlight and
places this job in the upper echelon of public sector financial roles,
comparable to regulatory bodies rather than traditional commercial banks.
Official Pay Scale
The official
pay scale for the Executive Officer (Probationary Officer) cadre is ₹ 88,635-4385(14)-150025-4750(4)-169025.
To demystify
this structure for candidates:
- Starting Basic Pay: You will
join with a basic pay of ₹ 88,635 per month.
- First Increment Period: You
will receive a guaranteed annual increment of ₹ 4,385 for the
next 14 years.
- Mid-Career Basic Pay: After
14 years, your basic pay will be ₹ 150,025.
- Second Increment Period: You
will then receive an annual increment of ₹ 4,750 for the next 4
years.
- Maximum Basic Pay: Your
basic pay will cap at ₹ 169,025 (to which Dearness Allowance and
other benefits are added).
Total Emoluments and CTC
While the
basic pay is the core, the total compensation is far greater. The official
notification states that the Cost to Company (CTC) for an Executive
Officer (Probationary Officer) posted in Mumbai is approximately ₹ 20,00,000/-
(Rupees Twenty Lakh only) per annum.
This high CTC
reflects the specialized, analytical nature of the role. It is designed to
attract top-tier talent for a core-finance position that is critical to ECGC's
mission of supporting Indian exports.

ECGC
PO Exam Pattern: Detailed Breakdown |
A thorough
understanding of the exam pattern is essential, as the ECGC PO exam is a test
of both knowledge and speed. The objective test features strict sectional
timings, meaning candidates cannot move between sections or "borrow"
time.
Marking Scheme
For the
Objective Test, there is a penalty for wrong answers. 0.25 marks
(one-fourth) will be deducted for each incorrect answer.
The 3-Hour
Marathon
The online
examination is a single-sitting, 3-hour marathon. The schedule from 02:00 p.m.
to 05:00 p.m. (180 minutes) perfectly accommodates the 140-minute
Objective Test followed immediately by the 40-minute Descriptive
Paper. Candidates must be prepared for this continuous test of endurance.
Objective Test Pattern (Generalist)
This test is
designed to be a high-speed assessment. For example, candidates have only 10
minutes for 20 Computer Knowledge questions (30 seconds per question) and 20
minutes for 40 General Awareness questions (30 seconds per question).
