The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is the bank of the country. It also runs dispensaries for its staff, in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. The RBI is currently seeking to recruit a panel of pharmacists for these dispensaries.

You will work up to 5 hours a day. The Bank decides which dispensary you go to.

Visit the job post to find all the recruitment details.


Who Should Apply?


You can apply if you have:

  • Matriculation pass

  • D.Pharm or B.Pharm

  • Maharashtra State Pharmacy Council registration (must)

  • 2 years of work experience as a pharmacist

  • Basic computer knowledge

If you have worked in a PSU, public sector bank or any government office, you get preference. Freshers cannot apply. There is no age limit mentioned, but you have to write your age as on 1 October 2026 in the form.


Salary Breakdown


Detail

Amount

Pay

₹600 per hour

Maximum per day

₹3,000

Duty hours

Up to 5 per day


Here is a simple example. If you work 5 hours a day for 20 days, you earn 20 × 5 × ₹600 = ₹60,000. But this is only an estimate. There is no fixed monthly salary, because work depends on the Bank’s need. HRA and other allowances are not mentioned, and no travel allowance is given for the interview.


Skills You Need


  • Good knowledge of medicines and prescriptions

  • Careful record keeping

  • Basic computer use

  • Polite behaviour with patients and staff


Documents Required


Keep self-attested copies of these ready:

  • Recent passport-size photo

  • Age proof

  • Education certificates (D.Pharm or B.Pharm)

  • Maharashtra Pharmacy Council registration

  • Experience certificates

  • Category certificate, if you need it


OBC candidates need a Non-Creamy Layer certificate issued after 1 April 2026. EWS candidates need a certificate for 2025-26. This is a postal application, so no file size or format is given. Do not send original documents.


How to Prepare Your Documents


  • Print the form from Annex-I (pages 5 to 7 of the notification)

  • Sign the form and self-attest every copy

  • Arrange the papers in the same order as the form

  • Check that your name and dates match on every certificate


Common Mistakes to Avoid


  • Applying without 2 years of experience

  • Not having Maharashtra registration

  • Sending the form unsigned or half-filled

  • Forgetting the category certificate

  • Posting it late. The form must reach RBI by the last date, not just be sent


Step-by-Step Application Tips


  1. Read the full notification once.

  2. Fill in the form slowly and carefully.

  3. Stick your photo and attach all copies.

  4. Put everything in one sealed envelope.

  5. Write on it: “Application for the post of Pharmacist on contract basis with fixed hourly remuneration, Mumbai.”

Send your application to: Regional Director, Human Resource Management Department, Recruitment Section, Reserve Bank of India, Mumbai Regional Office, Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Fort, Mumbai 400001.

The last date is 3 November 2026, 5 PM. Use speed post or courier, and keep the tracking slip safe.


Interview Preparation Tips


RBI will shortlist candidates based on qualification, experience and how far you live from the dispensaries. Then there will be an interview, a medical test and document checking. There is no written exam mentioned, and no interview date yet. Revise common medicine names, dosage basics, storage rules and your past work experience.


Career Growth and Future Scope


This job is not permanent. Still, RBI on your resume looks strong, and it can help you get better hospital or government pharmacy jobs later.
