Jitendra Kumar is the top earner in ‘Panchayat’ Season 4 – here’s how much the rest of the cast made per episode
The fourth season of Panchayat has taken over our screens again, bringing back the familiar charm of Phulera. But while fans are busy binge-watching, a new report has sparked fresh chatter – this time about how much the main actors actually earned per episode. Spoiler: it’s not crores, but it’s definitely interesting.
Jitendra Kumar leads the pack with ₹70,000 per episode
No surprises here. Jitendra Kumar—aka Sachiv Ji—has been the soul of Panchayat since day one. According to a report by NDTV, he earned a neat ₹70,000 for each of the eight episodes in Season 4. That totals up to ₹5.6 lakh for the whole season.
Given his growing popularity, not just through this series but also in the OTT space in general, this paycheck feels justified. He’s not just acting—he’s carrying the entire emotional arc of the show.
Neena Gupta isn’t far behind
Veteran actress Neena Gupta, who plays the fierce yet lovable Manju Devi, reportedly earned ₹50,000 per episode. That brings her season total to ₹4 lakh. For someone who brings both weight and warmth to every scene, she’s worth every rupee.
Raghubir Yadav, Chandan Roy, and others bring solid performances
Raghubir Yadav—Pradhan Ji himself—earned ₹40,000 per episode. With his natural comic timing and fatherly presence, he’s become a fan favorite over the seasons. His total payout? ₹3.2 lakh.
Chandan Roy, who plays the ever-loyal Vikas, reportedly took home ₹20,000 per episode. That’s ₹1.6 lakh for the season. Same goes for Faisal Malik (Prahlad Chacha), though his exact figure hasn’t been officially confirmed.
These might not be sky-high Bollywood numbers, but remember—Panchayat thrives on simplicity, both in budget and storytelling.

What’s new in Season 4?
Season 4 shifts the spotlight to village politics. Manju Devi and Kranti Devi are locked in a feisty Pradhan election, but it’s their husbands who are doing most of the scheming. There’s humour, emotion, taunts, and a peek into how rural India navigates power struggles—with a touch of chaos and a whole lot of heart.
But it’s not just about elections. The show also dives deeper into themes like loneliness, friendship, and social change. Prahlad’s silent grief, Abhishek’s inner conflicts, and the ongoing tug-of-war in village leadership all make this season a rollercoaster—just without the flashy twists.

Why this matters
Beyond the numbers, these cast salaries remind us of something important: great content doesn’t always need blockbuster budgets. Panchayat works because of its writing, its grounded direction, and its pitch-perfect performances.
And clearly, it pays off—not just for the viewers, but also for the cast.
Final thoughts
Season 4 leaves us on a cliffhanger that’s more emotional than explosive. Whether it’s Abhishek’s next step or what happens after the election dust settles, fans are already buzzing about Season 5.
Until then, it’s safe to say Panchayat remains a masterclass in simple, heartfelt storytelling—and now, we’ve got a peek into the paycheck side of it too.
