What is the Eligibility for RGSSH Sub Fire Officer 2026? Who Can Apply
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 before you apply.
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. Before you apply, 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 | Tentatively on 30 October 2026 |
| Detailed schedule | To be shared on the hospital website |
| Offer acceptance | Accept or seek time within 7 days, or the post goes to the next waiting-list candidate |
The interview is the only stage the notice names. The venue is not stated in the advertisement, so watch the hospital website for the schedule. 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.
