The salary ranges from a meagre 15K to probably 2 Lacs/month (higher salary for well-known TV anchors, editors, etc). This is in case of a well known, big media house. The salary of a producer working in office, and that of a reporter are different. There is no specific scale, but the size of the organisation does matter. I worked with ABP News. It was a great place to learn the basics of TV News Production, but the salary was not at par with the workload. Thus, things may differ. But there are newspapers and local channels that offer something as low as 5K/month, but mostly this is the figure in cities like Bhopal, Indore, Bareilly. Thus, it all depends heavily on the job location, profile, etc.

To become an anchor, you should complete your graduation first. Although, that was not compulsory in the early times, however today a good education qualification is must. Most importantly, you need to personally mold yourself into a personality perfect for an anchor. You should be updated with current affairs, general knowledge. Confidence and alertness are key to become a good anchor. Thus, I would suggest you to complete graduation in courses that would help you in these areas, such as Bachelors in Mass Media or Bachelors in Journalism and Mass Communication.
