About the Organisation
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is India’s central bank, responsible for monetary policy, currency issue, and regulation of the banking system. This particular recruitment is handled by the RBI Kanpur Regional Office, under its Human Resource Management Department. The Bank runs staff dispensaries at its residential colonies and engages part-time doctors to attend to the medical needs of employees, their families, and pensioners. For a practising doctor, this is a fixed, contract-based source of income that runs alongside a private clinic.
Both duty locations sit within Kanpur city. Kidwai Nagar is in the southern part of the city, and Tilak Nagar is closer to the old civil lines area, a few kilometres apart. The notification itself sets the geographic bar: applicants must already have a private clinic, dispensary, or residence within 4 to 8 km of whichever dispensary they apply for. This rules out doctors based outside Kanpur and effectively limits the pool to those already practising locally. RBI runs similar part-time BMC engagements at other regional offices such as Lucknow, Varanasi, and Allahabad; those follow the same hourly-remuneration structure, though vacancy counts and reserved categories vary by location and are not part of this notification.
Important Dates
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Notification release | 17th July 2026 |
| Application start date | 17th July 2026 |
| Last date to apply | July 31, 2026 |
| Last time to apply | 5:00 PM on July 31, 2026 |
The notification is clear that the application must physically reach the Regional Director’s office by this deadline — a postmark before the deadline is not stated as sufficient, so candidates sending by post should account for transit time.
Vacancy Details, Duty Hours and Remuneration
There is one post — Bank’s Medical Consultant — spread across two duty locations with different working hours. Both carry the same reservation status.
| Location | Category | No. of Posts | Working Hours | Remuneration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reserve Bank Staff Quarters, Kidwai Nagar, Kanpur – 208011 | Scheduled Caste (backlog) | 1 | Monday to Saturday, 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM | ₹1,000 per hour for the entire 3-year contract period |
| Reserve Bank of India Officers Quarters, 4/277, Tilak Nagar, Kanpur – 208002 | Scheduled Caste (backlog) | 1 | Monday to Friday, 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM; Saturday, 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM | ₹1,000 per hour for the entire 3-year contract period |
Total vacancies: 2
Of the total monthly remuneration paid, ₹1,000 per month is treated as conveyance expense. If a consultant is called to attend the dispensary on a public holiday, the same rate of ₹1,000 per hour applies as compensation. No pension, provident fund, gratuity, leave, or other perquisites are payable, since the engagement is contractual. Income tax will be deducted at source as per government rules.
Added context, not part of the official notification: ₹1,000 per hour for a few fixed hours a day works out to a modest but steady monthly sum on top of private practice income — for example, the Kidwai Nagar post’s 4 hours a day, 6 days a week comes to roughly ₹96,000–₹1,00,000 a month before deductions, depending on the exact month. Confirm the precise calculation with the hiring office.

Should You Apply?
This post suits a practising MBBS doctor, ideally with a General Medicine PG, who already runs a clinic or lives close to Kidwai Nagar or Tilak Nagar in Kanpur, and who wants a fixed side income with predictable hours. It does not suit doctors based outside Kanpur, since the 4-8 km clinic/residence condition rules them out regardless of qualification. Competition is likely to be moderate rather than heavy — the geographic and category (SC) restrictions narrow the applicant pool sharply compared to a general, all-India medical recruitment.
FAQs
Is there an age limit for this RBI Kanpur BMC post?
The notification does not mention any age limit for this recruitment. Candidates should confirm this directly with the RBI Kanpur Regional Office before applying, since age criteria can sometimes be covered in a separate advertisement or corrigendum.
Can a doctor apply for both the Kidwai Nagar and Tilak Nagar posts?
The notification does not clearly state whether one candidate can apply for both locations. Since each location has separate working hours and a separate distance condition to meet, candidates should apply for the location closest to their clinic or residence and can seek clarification from the Regional Director’s office if they wish to be considered for both.
Does this job lead to a permanent RBI position?
No. This is explicitly a temporary, contractual engagement for 3 years with no renewal. It carries no claim to regular employment, pension, provident fund, or gratuity, as stated in the terms and conditions of the contract.
What happens after the interview?
Shortlisted candidates who clear the interview go through a medical fitness test (at their own cost) and document verification before the contract is signed. Only after this process is the candidate formally engaged as Bank’s Medical Consultant.
