Comparision should be made in terms of CTC and not just on lowest basic scale of an army officer. If one counts CTC just like MNC does, an army officer gets still heigher than a comman civilian. We can not overlook the lucrative facilities they get from government.I would say what they get in their acccount is just a part of big amount which should be calculated and should also be known to everyone.Than only a true comparision could be outlined.

if u think lucrative i would like to ask what is lucrative for army people the grocery which they get in canteen or the drinks they get in canteen ,how much grocery can a family use a family might nedd some 3 -4 soaps 3-4 washing powder 5-10 bottles of liquor a stale ration and these thing u think as lucrative for army men with a mere salry of 8000rs ,if u think that was so lucrative y dont u join army,u dont have the guts,i rmeber one of my friend who joined army and was poste in siachen he says he has loss of memorry bit he has forgotenb the good college days,might be due to the pressure of the envoriment.india is the only country i would say army men are treated like dogs in usa when a rmy men is seen theyacknowledge them by saying thanku sir for protecting us,but people like u kirti good for nothing just know to criticise the gr8 soldiers who protect us.if u have guts go and stay in khardungla minus 60degree where army men are posted for atleast 1 day.

Wrong kirti!!!u r absolutely wrong!!!An ultimate price that a human pays is with his life. The army pays this price when needed. Do the civilians do that? so what if they relax like they have won the world? so what if they demand a window seat in the train?? dont you ask for a window seat when u check-in in at the airport? dont you spend u r money to buy luxuries for yourself with the salary u get? didnt u ever go to dance clubs inthe evening?? u have done all this but u will never be ready to give up u r life when needed, would you RAMBO?
