Rajasthan Gramin Bank has invited applications from eligible retired bank officers for contractual Financial Literacy Counsellor assignments at nine named centres in Rajasthan. The bank's official advertisement sets 20 November 2026 as the application deadline. Its published terms specify experience, age, residence and compensation conditions; this is not a permanent bank recruitment drive.
What Rajasthan Gramin Bank has announced
Rajasthan Gramin Bank is inviting eligible retired bank officers to serve as Financial Literacy Counsellors (FLCs) under a contractual arrangement. Its recruitment notice, original advertisement and application/terms document are published on the bank’s recruitment page. The advertisement gives 20 November 2026 (Friday) as the last date for receipt of applications. This is a financial-literacy assignment, not an appointment to the bank’s regular officer cadre.
The advertisement identifies one counsellor assignment at each of nine financial literacy centres: Balotra; Jayal (Nagaur); Jhalawar main branch; Pali; Pratapgarh; Chittorgarh; Beawar; Karamsir (Bikaner); and Khedli Mod, Neem Ka Thana. Applicants should consult the original Hindi advertisement to confirm the official spelling and preferred location before completing the form.
Who can apply?
The published terms describe eligible applicants as retired officers of nationalised banks, State Bank of India, Regional Rural Banks or central cooperative banks. Applicants need an unblemished service record and a recognised university degree; the document states a preference for postgraduate study in fields including agriculture, veterinary science, sociology, psychology and social work. Knowledge of the local language and practical computer skills, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and internet use, are also required.
The candidate is expected to reside in the district for which they are applying or a nearby district within Rajasthan. At the time of the vacancy advertisement, the maximum age is 63 years, subject to good health. The terms allow continuation until age 65, subject to fitness and other conditions, and require a fitness certificate from a government hospital. The application format requests age as on 31 October 2026; applicants should use the bank’s original form rather than rely on a general interpretation of the age condition.
Contractual remuneration and field-work expenses
| Retired officer category | Published monthly remuneration |
|---|---|
| Bank officer, Scale I | ₹35,000 |
| Bank officer, Scale II and above | ₹40,000 |
| Retired officer of a central cooperative bank | ₹35,000 |
The terms also provide camp-related reimbursement linked to actual outreach activity: ₹3,000 for conducting 10–15 financial literacy camps in a month and ₹5,000 for more than 15 camps. These are activity-linked reimbursement provisions, not an unconditional addition to monthly remuneration. The bank states that its chairperson may revise remuneration and related charges from time to time.
Role, hours and leave
An FLC Counsellor is expected to explain financial and digital literacy to the public, organise awareness activities and submit required reports to the concerned regional business office. The published working arrangement generally follows bank-branch hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., though additional hours may be required. The terms refer to a maximum of 15 days’ paid leave in a financial year, subject to approval by the competent regional manager, with at most six days at one time; extra or unauthorised absence can affect remuneration.
Financial-literacy work is different from a regular branch sales position. However, successful candidates remain subject to the contractual duties, reporting requirements, equipment-care obligations and termination conditions specified by the bank. The arrangement should not be described as permanent re-employment or as conferring the service benefits of regular bank staff.
Application procedure and what retirees should verify
Selection is stated to be through interview. The bank provides an official application form requiring details of the candidate’s former bank, retirement, qualifications, languages and chosen FLC location. The instructions call for supporting self-attested identity and address documents, a retirement/relieving letter, and an employer no-objection certificate where applicable.
The form instructs applicants to send documents both as a hard copy to the bank’s Financial Inclusion Department at its Jodhpur camp office and as a soft copy to the official address shown on the form. Applicants should check the exact recipient, supporting-paper requirements and delivery deadline directly in the current original PDF. No recruitment agency, unofficial payment channel or guaranteed selection is stated in these primary documents.
For retired bankers, the practical decision is whether this fixed-term public-education role matches their locality, health, field-camp commitment and post-retirement plans. The bank’s actual advertisement and contract terms—not generic online recruitment summaries—are the controlling application references.
