RGSSH Sub Fire Officer 2026 Notification: Eligibility, Pay and Offline Application Guide
Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital (RGSSH), Tahirpur, an autonomous institute under the Govt. of NCT of Delhi, has released Advertisement No. 13/2026 to engage 1 Sub Fire Officer on contract. This is not a fresh-recruit job. It is meant only for retired government servants who left service as Sub Fire Officer or in a higher post. If you have recently retired from fire service and want to keep working close to home, this is one of the rare Delhi government jobs built for you.
The application is offline only. Forms had to reach the hospital by Speed Post or by hand by 22 October 2026, 5:00 PM; that window has closed. The interview and document verification are now scheduled for 31 October 2026. Below we explain who can apply, how the pay is worked out, which conditions can end your engagement, and how the offline form worked. Keep following GovtJobsAlert.in for further notices.

The notice does not give any category-wise split for this single post. The application form does ask for your category, so fill it honestly.
What is the Eligibility for RGSSH Sub Fire Officer 2026?
Eligibility and Experience
| Requirement | What the Notification Says |
|---|---|
| Service background | You should have superannuated from the same post or a higher post in the hierarchy |
| Status | Retired government servant (pensioner) |
| Vigilance | You should be clear from vigilance angle |
| Cut-off date | Educational qualifications, experience and age are counted up to 22 October 2026 |
The opening paragraph of the notice also speaks of engaging retired pensioners from government-owned or controlled hospitals and medical institutes. The eligibility clause itself only asks that you retired as Sub Fire Officer or higher. If your pension comes from a different department, read the full notice before posting your form.
The notice does not prescribe a separate degree or a minimum number of years of experience. Your rank at retirement is what matters, so keep your retirement order or PPO ready as proof. The form still asks for your education and full employment history, so collect those certificates too.
Age Limit
| Point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Maximum age for engagement | 65 years |
| Age counted up to | 22 October 2026 |
| Age on the form | Age as on the date of interview |

The 65-year limit also caps the contract itself. Your engagement ends when you turn 65, even if the two-year term has not finished. So if you are close to 65, check how many months you would actually get.
What is the Salary for RGSSH Sub Fire Officer 2026?
There is no fixed pay band in this notice. Your monthly amount depends on your own last pay before retirement.
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Monthly remuneration | Last pay drawn minus basic pension, plus DA at the applicable rate |
| Pension | You continue to draw your pension |
| Dearness Relief | You continue to draw dearness relief on the pension |
| House Rent Allowance, residential phone/mobile charges, transport, residential accommodation, HPCA | Not entitled to any of these allowances |
| Govt. vehicle | Not provided |
In simple words: your pension keeps coming, and the hospital pays the gap between your last pay and your basic pension, with DA added. Your Last Pay Certificate is the key document, because the remuneration is worked out from it.
So there is no point comparing this post with a pay level in a fresh recruitment table. Two retired officers can draw different amounts here, because each one’s last pay and pension are different. Take out your last pay slip and your PPO and do the simple maths yourself. That one calculation will tell you whether the full-time commitment is worth it for you.
Remember that the notice says the incumbent shall not be entitled to any allowance such as House Rent Allowance or residential accommodation. If you live far from Tahirpur, the daily travel is your own cost.
What is the Selection Process for RGSSH Sub Fire Officer 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Interview and document verification | 31 October 2026, report between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM |
| Schedule notice | Issued by the hospital on 23 October 2026 |
| Offer acceptance | Accept or seek time within 7 days, or the post goes to the next waiting-list candidate |
Only candidates the scrutiny committee finds eligible are interviewed. The venue is the hospital Auditorium, as the schedule notice states. Once you get an offer, act within 7 days. Silence for that period is treated as a refusal.
Prepare for the interview the way you would brief a new team. Be ready to talk about fire safety in a large hospital, your last posting, and the drills and inspections you handled. Carry your original documents along with the copies you posted, so that nothing holds up the process on the day.
