Today was a big day in the justice system of the country. Justice Surya Kant took oath as the 53rd Chief Justice of India (CJI). President Draupadi Murmu administered the oath to him to assume this important post. With this his tenure of 15 months has also started.
CJI Bhushan R. Gavai had suggested the name of Justice Surya Kant as the next Chief Justice under Article 124(2) of the Constitution and after the approval of the President, he officially got this responsibility.
Now that the new CJI has taken charge, a question definitely arises in people’s minds, how much salary does the Chief Justice of India get? Also, when the 8th Pay Commission will be implemented, how much will their salary increase? Let us know…
Big responsibility, excellent facilities
The Chief Justice of India commands the entire judicial system of the country. He keeps an eye on the Supreme Court, High Court and the entire judicial system. Many major decisions related to the law and constitution of the country are taken under the guidance of CJI. In such a situation, this post is not only one of respect but also one of great responsibility. This is the reason why the CJI not only gets a good salary but is also given many government facilities.
How much salary does the CJI get now?
According to the rules of the Government of India, at present the CJI is given a salary of Rs 2.80 lakh per month. This salary is decided under the Supreme Court and High Court Judge Salary Act. This includes only basic pay.

How much will CJI’s salary increase after the 8th Pay Commission?
