Hello Ranjithkumar,

Commercial pilots in India have lucrative employment packages.

At the entry level job, the salary for a domestic airlines pilot is somewhere around ₹1.5lakhs/month 

For a senior pilot, the salary is around ₹5lakhs/month for domestic airlines

The figures are certainly higher for senior international commercial pilots and may touch ₹10lakhs/month 

These are only estimated figures reported by plimits anonymously and the exact salary varies from post to post and airline to airline


• In addition to the salary, a commercial pilot also enjoys various benefits like free or concessioned ticket fares, medical and housing benefits.


So yes becoming a commercial pilot may require huge investments in terms of time and money initially but the returns are wholesome 

Good Luck, may your career touch the skies! :D
