RRB NTPC Salary 2026: Official Pay Level and Job Profile

RRB NTPC fills non-technical posts across Indian Railways. The October 2026 notifications list eight posts in two groups: graduate-level posts in CEN 06/2026 and 12th-level posts in CEN 07/2026. This page gives only what those notifications print: post names, 7th CPC pay level, initial pay, qualification and medical standard. The notifications do not describe each post’s day-to-day duties.

Two groups of posts, two notifications

A candidate applies to one RRB and gives an order of preference for posts and railway zones within it. Posts are allotted on merit, preference, medical fitness and the vacancies on the date the panel is prepared; once empanelled, a candidate gives up the right to be considered for any other post in the same pay level.

Selected candidates undergo training wherever it is prescribed, and the notifications say only a stipend is paid during training. A railway servant is ordinarily employed throughout service on the railway or unit of first appointment, and the notifications say no transfer request is registered until the new appointee has completed at least 5 to 10 years of service.

Promotion

The notifications do not set out a promotion path. For the typist posts they say the typing skill test has been dispensed with, that typing proficiency will be assessed after joining, and that unsatisfactory performance may affect or delay confirmation or promotion.

Pay: the level and initial pay the notifications print

The notifications give a 7th CPC pay level and an initial pay for each post: Level 6, ₹35,400 (Chief Commercial cum Ticket Supervisor); Level 5, ₹29,200 (Goods Train Manager, Junior Accounts Assistant cum Typist, Senior Clerk cum Typist); Level 3, ₹21,700 (Commercial cum Ticket Clerk); Level 2, ₹19,900 (Accounts Clerk cum Typist, Junior Clerk cum Typist, Trains Clerk).

The notifications give no in-hand salary, allowance or benefit figures, so this page does not estimate any.

Pay, qualification and medical standards are set by the official notification and any corrigendum to it. Confirm them against the official RRB website, under CEN 06/2026 (Graduate) and CEN 07/2026 (Under Graduate).
