Yes they get paid for per shift(8-12 hours)

It's an old article but you can read it.
Saas-bahu proves a lucrative formula for women TV actors
reported by Aminah Sheikh Mumbai
In striking contrast to Bollywood where men dominate the pecking order of the highest paid stars, television appears to be a woman's world.

The highest paid TV actor is Smriti Irani of "Tulsi" fame, who commands, according to the industry, Rs 1 lakh per shift (the standard mode of payment in the business), double what the most expensive male TV star, Ronit Roy, is paid (around Rs 50,000 per shift). A shift varies between 8 and 12 hours a day.

Roy till recently co-starred with Irani in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi , the blockbuster TV serial from Balaji Telefilms. According to the industry, the top five female TV stars rake in between Rs 30,000 and Rs 35,000 per shift compared to between Rs 25,000 and Rs 30,000 for the top five male counterparts.

Top 5 women
1 Smriti Irani 100,000
2 Shweta Tiwaari 35,000
3 Saakshi Tanvar 30,000
4 Urvashi Dolakia 30,000
5 Mona Singh 30,000

Top 5 men

1 Ronit Roy 50,000
2 Ram Kapoor 30,000
3 Aman Verma 30,000
4 Apoorva Agnihotri 25,000
5 Cezanne Khan 25,000

It is, of course, not necessary for one episode of a serial to be completed in one shift. High-profile actors work for an average of 10 days a month, while others may work for 15-20 days a month.

"If one is paying a high price for a particular actor, the production company wants to get done with that actor's shifts first," said an executive from a leading television production house.

However, when it comes to anchors on TV, the pecking order is different. Film actor and now TV host Shekhar Suman rakes in Rs 4 lakh per shift. But Mandira Bedi ' the highest-paid female anchor with the tag of being the first woman anchor for the cricket World Cup on Sony TV ' gets Rs 1.5 lakh a day.

The high pay tag for women is mostly because soap operas that dominate the top 10 rankings in terms of viewership are saas-bahu serials with women as the central character.

Also, most of the stars that top the list are mainly from Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms, which is said to pay its actors 20 per cent more than industry benchmarks.

"Ekta discovers talent and nurtures it. She determines the rates of stars in the TV business. Most successful and popular actors today hail from the Balaji house," said an industry source.

Media experts said actors who have become household names after playing a part in Kapoor's serials usually charge a premium once they start working with another production company.

thanks a lot for sharing😊

I have seen one segment on E 24 where in they were showing that "GOPI bahu" of Saath nibhana saathiyafame is asking for a raise.
She is being paid 7000/- per day but she is asking for 25000/- per day.

I think SaRun too get this much only coz SNS is number one show across all the channels so if she is getting that much then...

I personally think 7000/- per day is very less compared to rigorous work they do...

I have heard they are paid per episode. I read an article somewhere when Kyunke used to air hearing that Smriti Irani was demanding more than 100,000 per episode due to which there were some problems with the production house. Not sure but did hear something like this. Thus, it quite sums up the fact they are paid per epi.

actors are paid per day...n this is confirmed...
during DMG days KSG was highest paid actor...he was paid more than 50000 a day..( i don't remember the exact amount...{a friend of mine had told me this}

Per day payment is confirmed even i have read about it many times not per episode...
