RBI Pharmacist Recruitment 2026

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Mumbai Regional Office, has issued a notice dated 13 October 2026 titled “Engagement of Pharmacist on contract basis, Mumbai”, inviting applications for 22 Pharmacist posts on contract basis at RBI dispensaries within Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.

The engagement carries a fixed remuneration of Rs.600 per hour, with a maximum of 5 hours per day and a maximum of Rs.3,000 per day, for a maximum of 240 days at a stretch. Candidates must hold D.Pharm or B.Pharm with pharmacy council registration and at least 2 years of experience as a Pharmacist.

Applications must be sent in a sealed cover, along with details submitted through the online link given in the advertisement, so as to reach the RBI Mumbai Regional Office by 3 November 2026 (5:00 PM). Read the notification for eligibility, selection process, pay scale and all other information.

The application fee, if any, is not specified in the available sources. Candidates should confirm the fee position from the official notice.

The Pharmacists will be engaged at RBI dispensaries within Mumbai and Navi Mumbai (MCGM and NMMC limits), on contract basis for a maximum of 240 days at a stretch, as per the official notice.

Candidates must have passed Matriculation or an equivalent examination and must hold either a Diploma in Pharmacy (D.Pharm) with registration under the Pharmacy Act 1948, or a Bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy (B.Pharm) with registration with the Maharashtra State Pharmacy Council. Registration must be valid and in force.

Candidates must have a minimum of 2 years of experience as a Pharmacist. Experience certificates from previous employers must be enclosed with the application, and the experience claimed should be supported by documentary proof.

Candidates should have basic knowledge of computer operations, since dispensary record-keeping and administrative work require routine computer use. Experience in Public Sector Banks, Public Sector Undertakings or Government organisations is preferred, and such candidates may carry an advantage at shortlisting.

The distance of the candidate’s residence from the dispensary will be considered at the shortlisting stage, so candidates residing closer to the Mumbai or Navi Mumbai dispensary locations may be preferred. Candidates are advised to confirm all eligibility conditions, including the exact experience and registration requirements, in the official notice before applying.

The age limit is not specified in the available sources. Candidates should confirm the age limit and any relaxation in the official notice.

This is a contract engagement with a fixed hourly remuneration and no regular pay scale. The Pharmacist will be paid a fixed Rs.600 per hour, with engagement of up to 5 hours per day, subject to a maximum of Rs.3,000 per day.

As a worked example: a Pharmacist engaged for the full 5 hours in a day earns 5 hours x Rs.600 = Rs.3,000 for the day. A Pharmacist engaged for fewer hours in a day is paid proportionately (for example, 3 hours x Rs.600 = Rs.1,800).

The engagement is for a maximum of 240 days at a stretch. No other allowances or benefits are payable — the hourly remuneration is the complete and final payment, as per the official notice.

1. Shortlisting: all applications received by the closing date are screened against the eligibility conditions — pharmacy qualification, registration, minimum 2 years of experience and basic computer knowledge. The distance of the candidate’s residence from the dispensary is also considered at this stage. Only candidates who meet the conditions are shortlisted.

2. Personal interview: shortlisted candidates are called for a personal interview before a selection panel. The interview assesses the candidate’s professional knowledge of pharmacy practice, dispensing experience, communication skills and suitability for duty at an RBI dispensary.

3. Document verification: candidates are required to produce original certificates for verification — the D.Pharm/B.Pharm certificate, pharmacy council registration, matriculation certificate, experience certificates, identity proof and category certificate, if applicable. Claims made in the application must match the documents.

4. Pre-employment medical examination: candidates who clear the interview and document verification must pass a pre-employment medical examination. Only candidates found medically fit are offered the contract engagement.
