RITES Company Secretary 2026 — 1 Post, Apply Online by 02 Sep

Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) Limited, a Navratna Central Public Sector Enterprise under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India, has released RITES Company Secretary Recruitment 2026 for 1 post at Joint General Manager (JGM) or Deputy General Manager (DGM) grade. RITES was established in 1974 and operates across consultancy segments including railways, metro and urban transport, highways, ports, airports, and export of rolling stock and locomotives to international clients — giving the Company Secretary function exposure well beyond routine domestic PSU compliance work. RITES Company Secretary 2026 is a government job opportunity for ICSI-qualified professionals seeking a PSU sarkari naukri with Board-level exposure. Selected candidates for RITES Company Secretary 2026 will head or support the Company Secretary Department, managing statutory compliance under the Companies Act, SEBI regulations, and DPE guidelines applicable to a Navratna CPSE. Responsibilities typically include preparing and circulating Board and Committee agendas and minutes, ensuring timely regulatory filings with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and stock exchanges where applicable, coordinating the Annual General Meeting, maintaining statutory registers, and acting as the secretarial link between the RITES Board, management, and external regulators. The RITES Company Secretary 2026 selection process consists of document scrutiny of the online application to verify ICSI membership and post-qualification experience, followed by a personal interview; there is no written examination. Grading as JGM or DGM depends entirely on the candidate's qualifying years of experience as verified during screening. RITES follows standard CPSE recruitment norms for lateral senior hires, meaning the interview panel typically includes RITES functional directors and an external subject-matter expert; candidates should be prepared to discuss specific instances of Board secretarial work, statutory filings handled, and any regulatory scrutiny or audit findings they have managed in their prior role. The RITES Company Secretary 2026 online application is available at rites.com. The last date to apply for RITES Company Secretary Recruitment 2026 is 02 September 2026. Application fee is ₹600 plus taxes for General/OBC candidates and ₹300 plus taxes for SC/ST/PwBD/EWS candidates, payable online at the time of submission. Candidates must read the complete official RITES Company Secretary 2026 notification PDF before applying, since the exact experience threshold separating JGM from DGM grade, and the applicable pay scale, are confirmed only in that document.
