The salary of WBCS officers is not more than that of IAS officers posted in the state. IAS officers generally receive a higher salary compared to WBCS officers due to the difference in the pay scale and hierarchy between the two services. The salary structure and benefits for IAS officers are typically more lucrative than those for WBCS officers.
The salary of the IAS officers is prescribed and revised by the Union Government of India while the WBCS officer's salary is governed by the State Government rules.
