How much do i get paid if writing scripts?

For the people who want to take script writing more as profession, the first question asked is how much would i get paid if i write a script/screenplay/treatment.
Based on the thing that is being written and the experience you have in the field, the cost gets varied.
It also depends on the production houses you are working for, so do not consider these amounts as the bench mark but these are only some kind of expectations that are set by our seniors working.
Full 2 or 2.5 hour movie - 1-2 years experienced - 100000 INR ; 2-5 year experienced - 350000 INR: more than 5 years - 15 ,00,000 INR
for half an hour television screenplay - 30,000 INR
for 30 min to 1 hour short films - 50000 INR

For people looking this option as career; you have to also make sure that till you get your first break; its very difficult. Experience is only counted on the number of films worked and not on the time from which you completed your first project.
