IAS folk make on the order of a $1M/pa with all their kickbacks. They often even get to send their kids to study in the West for "free" through "scholarships" (as a quid-pro-quo for compromising national interest). The demand is quite high (see marriage portals).

IPS is one tier lower. Though, anyone who has studied the hallowed history of the former commission of Mumbai knows this is also not something to sneeze at.
