I am looking for conducting job satisfaction measurement scale in Indian scenario.
Hi Kishore,
As an example in my methodology book (Essentials of Research Methods in Human Sciences, SAGE, 2017 (Forthcoming)), I'm using a general measurement instrument for Job Contentment which may be one alternative. I have not created it but the Finnish version of it was used in one project I was involved about 20 years ago. See attached.

Dear Kishore,,
I had such a scale which was used 20 years ago in a repeated survey of workers in Russia. My advice is do not use the READY instruments, but design you own depending on a special context. In any case you will have items on
-- satisfaction by payment level (usually low)
-- job conditions (safety, temperature regime, lightness, fresh air, noisiness etc.)
-- work time (work hours, beginning/end of work shift, work breaks)
-- paid (unpaid) and registered (unregistered) overloads and extra work
-- sasisfaction by the number of additional social benefits
-- the variety of social benefits and their fit with particular person's requirements
-- relations with colleagues
-- relations with supervisors
-- accuracy and fairness of performance evaluation
-- career perspectives
-- possibilities of on-site and additional training
-- overall employability increase (decrease) after spending some time with the current employer.

I do agree with Salloum. However, there are other options like Job Development Index available since long.
I am hereby attaching Paul E. Spector's Job Satisfaction Survey and it is proprietory in nature. So you better take permission from him. He is on research gate, so it won't be difficult to take permission from him
Here's a link to my JSS as well as a number of other scales and sources for scales. I allow free use for educational and research purposes in return for sharing of data.

The Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire (MOAQ) is a brief (3-item), public domain scale designed to assess global job satisfaction. I published a meta-analysis a few years ago that documents validity evidence of the MOAQ. Here is the reference to that paper:
Bowling, N. A., & Hammond, G. D. (2008). A meta-analytic examination of the construct validity of the Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire Job Satisfaction Subscale. Journal of Vocational Behavior, 73, 63-77. doi: 10.1016/j.jvb.2008.01.004
I have attached an instrument developed by myself mainly based on Maslow's Need Hierarchy Theory which was used for my PhD. I think it may be useful for you. The validity (both rational and empirical aspects) and reliability (both external and internal aspects) of the instrument were at good level. This instrument was published in one of my books titled Organizational Behaviour: The Human Side of Work (2015), Department of HRM, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Colombo.
Best wishes!
Agree with Salloum and Mathur, however you should consider what industry you are going to investigate, then make some modification.
