The pay structure for contract engagement under this circular is as follows:
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| Fixed Pay | 50% of last basic pay drawn at the time of superannuation |
| Transport Allowance | Payable as applicable |
| Dearness Allowance (DA) | Not Entitled |

- Initial contract period: One (1) year

💰 How to Calculate Your Likely Remuneration
Your remuneration = 50% of your last basic pay at retirement. For example, if your last basic pay (in CDA pay scale) was ₹80,000/month at the time of superannuation, your RITES contract pay would be ₹40,000/month + applicable Transport Allowance. Since DA and HRA are not payable, this is your take-home fixed amount (before tax deductions). Check your Pension Payment Order (PPO) for your last basic pay figure.

About the Project & Posting Location
The Dedicated Test Track – Gudha to Thathana Mithri
The posting location for all 11 positions is Nawa City, District Didwana-Kuchaman, Rajasthan. RITES Ltd. is currently providing Maintenance Services for the Dedicated Test Track located between Gudha and Thathana Mithri stations in the Jodhpur Division of the North Western Railway (NWR) Zone. This dedicated test track is a critical piece of railway infrastructure used for testing rolling stock and track systems under controlled conditions. Maintaining such infrastructure requires highly specialised expertise in P-Way (Permanent Way), Bridge Engineering, Works, TRD (Traction Distribution), OHE (Overhead Equipment), and S&T (Signalling & Telecommunication) — precisely the experience profiles RITES is seeking through this circular.

It is well-connected by road and rail to major cities like Jodhpur, Jaipur, and Ajmer. Retired Railway officers who have previously served in the Jodhpur Division, North Western Railway, or North Central Railway will be particularly well-suited for this role given their familiarity with the terrain, track conditions, and local operational environment.
