What is the Salary for TDFC Recruitment 2026?
All pay is a remuneration per annum, as printed in the notification. The work mode is also given.
| Post | Remuneration per Annum |
|---|---|
| Senior Programmer | ₹12 Lakhs (On-Site) |
| Programmer | ₹7.5 Lakhs (On-Site) |
| Database Administrator | ₹9 Lakhs (Remote / On-Site) |
| Project Manager | ₹9 Lakhs (Remote / On-Site) |
Please note that the Project Manager, who needs 5 to 10 years of experience, has the same printed pay as the Database Administrator. We checked this against the page itself. The notification does not mention any other allowance or benefit. Since the pay is yearly, divide it by twelve to plan your monthly budget, and remember that it is for a one-year contract only. The Senior Programmer pay of ₹12 lakhs is the highest of the four, and that post also asks for banking software experience, so apply there only if your past work really matches.
What is the Selection Process for TDFC Recruitment 2026?
The notification does not describe how candidates will be selected. It does not name a written test, an interview or any other stage. So please do not assume any particular stage. Keep your phone and email active and watch the TDFC website for any further notice. Because the process is not written down, prepare your CV, project details and certificates well, and be ready to explain your Java, Oracle or project work clearly if you are called.
What we do know is that only applications received through post with the required information and supporting documents will be considered. Applications with insufficient information will be summarily rejected.
