  It is no doubt while switching from Developer profile to a testing one, the skills you gained will be very much useful. Salary will not be an issue though you do not have your complete experience in testing, that what I strongly believe. But one point I should say is - Applying for a developer profile and for testing profile after 6+ years of exp, you should expect, you can get desired pay for developer profile. But if you want your desired pay in testing, you will have to make recruiter believe that, you are no lesser than a 6+ years tester and they are not going to regret once they hire you. Showcase and sell your developer skills and testing skills so that they would say a Yes! 😀 Moreover, as you said, you have interest in testing, I am sure you are going to fill the competency gap between you and your testing profile. You may face question related to "Why to switch", and you should a strong reason to do so. "Developers job is hectic but testers has the more responsibility as they have the final say.."
  
  Let me know if anyone finds scope of improvement in my thoughts!

  concern is why a company would give me job with such a minimal exp and then the bigger concern is pay. Will I be paid good enough as per my exp which is 6.5 yrs now.

  Have you applied for any positions that offer the role you desire? Worry about the things that you can control.

  Exactly! The problem picture would be clear if someone faces a profile change interview and highlights the issue.
