Does anyone happen know, whats the average salary for Army Officers and soldiers.

Also, what is the salary for BDR officers and BDR soldiers.
What I have seen from various news journal as quoted the average salary for the BDR soldier runs from 50 to 70 dollars. Which is like 3400 taka to 4800 taka.

Its really unfortunate to see so many deadbodies and bloods could not bring any sympathy on your mind for so called Highly paied Army officers. some points on your comments though i know these will have no effect on you …..

“A poor third world underdeveloped country can’t afford an army of this size and this sort of pay and other benefits for their officers. Any pay and benefits should be market driven, not driven by the muscle power.”………kuddus

yes its really true but till Army remains inside cantonment does not go for VGF, Election Duty, spreading their hand to rescue people in Phenix vobon, Ntv bla..bla…. How many army officer you know who had been sitting inside his home last two years. Yes the number of officers in Army is too much thats why they were not speared even for a long week to stay with their family when Army was deployed outside last two years. Their number is so many that they had to sit with Laptop by the officers themselves to prepear Voter ID cards for you…. yes their number is so many for which may be some people like you reduced their number by Killing BRUTALLY…..

“If you compare an Army officer’s pay and benefit with a similar level civil service officer you would know what does the word difference mean.”……..Kuddus

Yes brother you are correct in this uspect also..how much you get as salery as a civil employee??? we call Army officer…who gets a salery of 8000 taka the same salery scale in civil organisation gets minimum 12000 taka . Do you know why??? because civil officers get House rent from the begining of their service which an Army officer does not till he gets married. Really its a big difference which nobody knows. Instead they get a room in so called officers mess . If get a chance ever please visit the officers mess in Dhaka I guess inside the rooms you may see the same reflection you see in HOSTELs where 2/3 officers sharing one sigle room. But they are called officers. If you get chance ever to visit any SP or ASP’s house in other districts and at the same time visit the house of a major or Lt col staying inside cantonment I hope you will really see the difference which you tried to mean…. but in different way.

“Army was not created to serve for overseas, no country in the world do it. But for the sake of earning foreign currency Army goes to Congo and other battle zone in Africa. But nobody takes into consideration of the fact that, how much money the country has spent for raising them to become a army officer and what they earn does not go into the country’s benefit as they don’t pay any income tax on this income.”……. KUDDUS

Brother I am really glad to see you are so much worried about our motherland. Now you are telling the number of Army is too much for our country. SO if the country gets pleasure by sending this extra Army people to other countries why do you take it to contingency???
Now few picture for you…..An Army Officer earns maximum 14 to 16 lac after an one year UN mission which is his only asset to spend rest of his life. Now you tell me living in this 3rd world country do we civil people really count this amount to be a handsome amount???? you cant even buy a piece of land with this.So what an Army officer does?? buys a car and with half of that money and keeps rest few lac to spend his day to day requrements as an added amount to that 8000/12000/14000… But what you see from outside?? Officers Driving cars!! so rich they are!!!!!!!1 some time go and see what is there on his “CHULA” or “HARRI”. To you Govt sends Army people outside for army’s benifit but if you dont know let me inform you that govt gets money even for each individual going for mission what to talk about the equipments. Even the clothings bought and carried by Poor Army people are earning money for your Govt wanna know how???
yes UN gives money even for their clothings which they dont get. UN gives money for their telephone calls which they dont get..UN provides money for equipments which are infact present in number but maximum works by the help of these army officers and present them infront of inspection team so that for these faulty items govt does not loose the money. But these Army people never steps back to use these poor and unusable equipments even in rebel areas of Congo……because if they does so Govt will loose money from UN………….

Brother i am tired of writting all these but I know these will not make any effect on your Ideas…..even after all these you think you are right?????!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you will because a virus is inserted in your hard disc which does not have any anti virus yet……….

Do you know one phrase “khali kolsi baje besi”? If you donot have any knowledge on any subject, its better to remain silent.

You didnot mention what you do and what salary or benifit you draw from organization aginst your qualification. Hope you will write here and I will give you a comparative study later.

See you soon.

5. Vai re I am a civilian; Even I feel pity je ami Army officer hoini. Please dont comment like this without knowing.

A poor third world underdeveloped country can’t afford an army of this size and this sort of pay and other benefits for their officers. Any pay and benefits should be market driven, not driven by the muscle power. Considering the fact of massive unemployment in BD, Army should not be out of this too. If you compare an Army officer’s pay and benefit with a similar level civil service officer you would know what does the word difference mean.

I have worked with defence forces for sometime and I have seen how much pay and benefits they get which is paid out of people’s tax, yes one of the poorest country’s people’s tax. What not Army has got? They have got everything best in the country- from taxpayers’ money. They even get treatment for their in laws at the cost of taxpayer. This is not approved by the ministry of finance and the pricing on which they pay half is also not based on any real costing done by a costing professional, thus does not reflect what should be the real price. Honestly speaking if they have to pay for half of the real cost of their treatment that would at least 5-10 times higher than what they supposedly pay.
Army was not created to serve for overseas, no country in the world do it. But for the sake of earning foreign currency Army goes to Congo and other battle zone in Africa. But nobody takes into consideration of the fact that, how much money the country has spent for raising them to become a army officer and what they earn does not go into the country’s benefit as they don’t pay any income tax on this income.

No developed country in the world provide ration or any subsidized items for their defence personnel. Why being a poor nation we would have to provide this at the cost of taxpayer’s money. When they rent out government property like senakunja, garrison auditorium, officers’ club, vacant grounds or ponds to outsiders or so called bloody civilians for a handsome amount of money- does this income goes to government treasury? No, not a singly penny? But the property they are renting out is built by taxpayers’ money, being maintained by taxpayers’ money everyday- so any income should go to where taxpayers’money go.
Army doctors earn money by providing medical services/advices/pathological services to bloody civilians at CMH- do they pay tax on that? Or should they be allowed to do that? They are already getting salary from the government and they shouldn’t do this sort of private practice at government premises like CMH, AFMP etc
