Batas Ji, The basic pay for E-1 - $1300.00 Food Allowance - $280.00 with dependent & $250.00 w/o dependent Housing Allowance - differ from place to place but you'll be given a option to live on base or off base if you have dependents. If you are single, you'll be stuck in dorms atleast for three years. Language Pay - If you could pass the Hindi language test, you would be entitled for extra $400.00 every month. Hope it'll help you. Palu
