RCF Apprentice Stipend 2026-27

The stipend applicable to apprentices follows the notification issued by the Board of Apprenticeship Training (Western Region), Mumbai (BOAT WR/2026/529, dated 25.09.2019) under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. Apprentice trainees are not entitled to any other benefits or allowances besides the consolidated stipend under the Apprentices Act and applicable guidelines.

Stipend payable by RCF is paid monthly on a fixed date. Stipend payable by BOAT is disbursed directly to ACT Apprentices, and RCF is not responsible for any delay or non-payment by BOAT. Additionally, RCF provides morning breakfast, tea, and a vegetarian lunch thali in the company canteen during training (no reimbursement if not availed), OPD-basis medical facilities at RCF Hospital for trainees themselves, and uniform and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as per company policy. No transportation facility or reimbursement is provided.

 

RCF Apprentice Posting & Training Timing

Apprentices will be trained at RCF’s units at Trombay, Mumbai, or Thal, Raigad District, as per the company’s requirements.

Candidates must select either Trombay or Thal in the “Posting At” drop-down while applying; this choice cannot be changed once selected. Final posting depends on the approved intake quota of the respective unit.

The place of posting is non-transferable throughout the apprenticeship training period; no transfer requests between units will be entertained.

Late attendance or punching results in a proportionate stipend deduction. All ACT Apprentices must register on the Face Recognition-based Attendance System and record both IN and OUT punches daily; missing punches will be treated as absence for that day, subject to regularisation under applicable rules.

 

Selection Process :

A merit list is drawn based on the percentage criteria and applicable reservation, using marks in the prescribed essential educational qualification. Where CGPA/CPI or grades are awarded, the equivalent percentage (as per the University/Institute’s own norms) must be indicated in the application, with a supporting certificate submitted at document verification.

Candidates from the merit list are called for Document Verification.

Candidates are appointed as Apprentice Trainees only after successful document verification and approval of their Apprenticeship Contract on the respective portal (NATS/NAPS). Trainees are expected to join upon contract approval; failure to report on the stipulated date may lead to cancellation of candidature.

In case of a tie in merit-list marks (even after considering decimals), the candidate with the higher qualification is ranked higher; if the qualification is the same, the candidate with more marks in the preceding educational qualification is ranked higher.
