• Anganwadi Sahayika (Helper): Fixed monthly honorarium as per UP State Government rules (plus applicable government allowances).
• In-hand Estimate: Complete honorarium amount credited without statutory salary deductions.
• Pay Structure: Fixed Honorarium scheme under Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS).

As an Anganwadi Sahayika, the position carries a monthly fixed honorarium set by the Uttar Pradesh government under the ICDS scheme rather than a standard pay level.

Experienced helpers who improve their qualifications are eligible for promotion to Anganwadi Karyakatri (Worker) positions as per departmental rules.
