In the ever-evolving world of showbiz, many shows come and go, but among this overloaded content, some rare gems stand out like no other and create a magic that remains unmatched.

The show that we are talking about is none other than Panchayat season 4. One of the most popular shows of recent times, its fourth season recently returned on OTT. It featured a star-studded cast including Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, and Pankaj Jha in the lead. Besides the massive fan base and each character resonating with the audience, fans are also intrigued to know the earnings of each actor.
Panchayat Star Cast Salaries Revealed
As per the reports, Jitendra Kumar, who plays the lead role in Panchayat, earns Rs 70,000 per episode. Following him is Neena Gupta and Raghubir Yadav, who charge Rs 50,000 and Rs 40,000 respectively. Faisal Malik and Chandan Roy earn the least with Rs 20,000 per episode.
If these reports are to be believed, then Jitendra Kumar’s earnings per season are at around Rs 5.6 lakh, Neena Gupta’s at Rs 4 lakh, and Raghubir Yadav’s at Rs 3.2 lakh. Since there is no official confirmation, fans are skeptical about their exact figures.
In a recent podcast, Faisal Malik revealed how actors get paid. He said, “The discussion about money starts after you agree to do the project.” Although he doesn’t reveal the exact figures, he says, “Sab acha tha.”
Payment Structure
Speaking about the payment method, he shares, “Payments happen in various ways. Some pay on per per-day basis, some pay the total. Ideally, the structure that the corporates are following today is: They divide salaries per day wise. They divide your fees by the number of days you are going to work on the project. Then they convert it into installments. They pay a certain amount at the time of signing. Then starting of the shoot, followed by the middle of the shoot, end of the shoot, end of dubbing, and eventually after release. They pay in about five segments. This takes over a year. Until your show is released, you don’t receive your final payment.”
Speaking about raises and appraisals, he said, “They increase your fees only if you have made them write it in your contract. The performance of the show doesn’t really change anything.” Speaking about his contract, he said, “I had added this clause in my contract. Sab acha hai.”
After the major success of Panchayat Season 4, Panchayat Season 5 has also been confirmed, and it will air in 2026.
