What is Special Security Allowance (SSA)?

This allowance is called Special Security Allowance (SSA). The government issued these guidelines following a proposal from the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Its goal is to provide better pay to employees working in critical and high-risk zones. However, those providing security to VIPs under Z, Y Plus, Y, and X categories will not receive this additional allowance, as these categories already have different security protocols.

The Special Protection Group (SPG), which also provides VIP protection, receives an additional 55% of their basic salary. Similarly, National Security Guards (NSG) receive an additional 40% for their high-level security responsibilities.

CAPF commandos, especially from CRPF and CISF, have been demanding a similar special allowance for several years. So this time, this allowance was introduced by the Center before the budget, keeping them in mind.
