Exit amount
Estimated Seva Nidhi amount after 4 years
The Agniveer exit amount is commonly referred to as the Seva Nidhi package. It is built from the 30% monthly corpus contribution deducted from the Agniveer package, an equal matching contribution from the Government, and the accumulated interest over the 4-year service period. Based on the standard Agnipath structure used on this page, the employee-side corpus contribution comes to about ₹5.02 Lakhs over 4 years, the Government contributes a similar amount, and the final Seva Nidhi amount is usually referenced at around ₹11.71 Lakhs.
This exit amount is separate from monthly in-hand salary. The calculator above helps you check year-wise in-hand pay, while the Seva Nidhi figure helps you understand the broad exit benefit after completing the full 4-year term.
Salary vs exit amount
Agniveer salary after 4 years vs Seva Nidhi
Agniveer salary after 4 years and Seva Nidhi are not the same thing. The 4th-year monthly package is ₹40,000, and the in-hand salary is about ₹28,000 after the 30% corpus deduction. Seva Nidhi, on the other hand, is the broad exit amount usually referenced after completion of the 4-year term. It is not a monthly salary figure. It is a separate lump-sum benefit built from the employee corpus contribution, the matched Government contribution, and interest.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the monthly in-hand salary of an Agniveer in the 1st year?
In the 1st year, the customized monthly package is ₹30,000. Out of this, 30% (₹9,000) goes to the Agniveer Corpus Fund, leaving an in-hand salary of ₹21,000 per month.
How much is the Seva Nidhi package?
After completing 4 years of service, an Agniveer receives a one-time Seva Nidhi package of approximately ₹11.71 Lakhs. This consists of their own contributions and an equal contribution from the Government, plus accrued interest.
Is the Seva Nidhi package taxable?
No, the Seva Nidhi package is completely exempt from Income Tax under Section 10(12C) of the Income Tax Act.
What is the Agniveer salary in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year?
The monthly package rises to ₹33,000 in the 2nd year, ₹36,500 in the 3rd year, and ₹40,000 in the 4th year. After the 30% corpus deduction, the in-hand salary is about ₹23,100, ₹25,550, and ₹28,000 respectively.
Why is only 70% of the Agniveer salary shown as in-hand pay?
Only 70% is shown as in-hand salary because 30% of the monthly package is contributed to the Agniveer Corpus Fund. The Government matches that contribution, which later forms part of the final Seva Nidhi amount.
How much corpus contribution is deducted from Agniveer salary each month?
The corpus deduction is 30% of the monthly package. That works out to ₹9,000 in year 1, ₹9,900 in year 2, ₹10,950 in year 3, and ₹12,000 in year 4.
What is the total corpus contribution over 4 years?
The employee-side corpus contribution over 4 years adds up to about ₹5.02 Lakhs. The Government contributes an equal amount, and together with interest this forms the final Seva Nidhi benefit.
What happens after 4 years in Agniveer?
After 4 years, the Agniveer tenure ends under the Agnipath structure. The commonly discussed financial outcome is the Seva Nidhi amount, which is formed from the employee corpus contribution, matching government contribution, and interest. Service continuation depends on the applicable retention rules announced by the concerned force.
Can 25% Agniveers continue after 4 years?
The widely cited Agnipath framework states that up to 25% of Agniveers may be selected for further service after the 4-year term, subject to the applicable force rules, performance standards, medical fitness, and official selection process. This page does not predict continuation and should not be treated as a retention calculator.
Are allowances included in Agniveer salary?
The core Agniveer monthly package shown here is based on the standard published year-wise package structure. Any additional field-level or posting-specific benefits should always be checked against the latest official scheme communication because they are not the main basis of the 4-year package table used here.
