IGNOU is among the top-most distance universities in India, approved by the UGC and DEB. Of course, an MSW degree from IGNOU is worth it. If you're thinking that every employer prefers a regular degree only, it's not right. They seek your skills and expertise; they look for a strong portfolio, and prior work experience is a plus. 
If you pursue an MSW from IGNOU, you'll get so much time to work on your addition skills or maybe join an organisation to get experience. This will only benefit you.

See, the salary package for a Social Worker in India completely depends on the employer. For freshers, it can be in a range of INR 2.9 LPA to 5 LPA. If you have some prior experience, you can earn around INR 6 to 8 LPA. It also depends on how much the organisation is willing to provide. Additionally, an MSW degree also makes you more employable and increases the chances of getting a higher package.
