    CDS officers enjoy many perks like: They get decent salary packages. The starting salary in the Indian Army is around Rs. 56,100 per month. They receive allowances such as Dearness Allowance, Uniform Allowance, High Altitude Allowance, and Children Education Allowance and also get Ration Money Allowance (RMA). They are entitled to a pension after retirement. CDS Officers and their families are entitled to free or subsidized accommodation alongwith access to free medical care at military hospitals.
