Service Conditions and Caveats

• Probation and training: you will begin with a one-year probation-cum-training period. Confirmation follows successful completion and the required checks.
• Notice period: during probation, either side can end employment with one calendar month's notice or notice pay instead. After confirmation, this becomes three calendar months or the corresponding notice pay.
• Posting and transfer: the appointment is initially in Mumbai, but SCI can transfer, depute or assign you to its divisions, branch offices, departments, joint ventures, subsidiaries or entities covered by service agreements.
• Accommodation: you should arrange your own accommodation. Company housing may be offered if available; the notice does not guarantee it.
• Unreserved appointment: applicants from reserved communities may apply for the unreserved post, subject to the applicable unreserved standards and the notice's specific concessions.
• Interview travel: SCI provides reimbursement up to the stated second-class air-conditioned rail fare for the shortest return route to Mumbai, against actual tickets. Local travel remains your responsibility, and interview accommodation is not provided.
• Attendant travel: where government rules allow it, a person with benchmark disability can also claim the specified travel reimbursement for an attendant.
• Waitlist: the panel remains valid for one year after finalisation. It can be used only for a vacancy arising from this recruitment when the selected person does not join or later leaves.
• Previous employment: SCI does not accept liability for salary, leave-salary, gratuity or pension contributions connected with your earlier government or public-sector employment.
• Accuracy and updates: check your email and SCI's website for recruitment communication. False information or concealed facts can cancel your candidature or appointment, and canvassing can lead to disqualification.
