CNP Nashik SPMCIL Recruitment 2026

The centralized nature of this recruitment means that candidates selected through this single examination pipeline will be allocated to one of the following highly secure facilities across India. Candidates must be prepared to serve at any of these designated locations based on organizational mandates:

• CNPN (Currency Note Press, Nashik, Maharashtra): Primarily engaged in the manufacturing of high-quality Bank Notes and Currency Notes for the Government of India.
• ISPN (India Security Press, Nashik, Maharashtra): Responsible for printing crucial security documents like Indian Passports, Visa allied Stickers, Non-Judicial Stamp Papers, Judicial Stamps, MICR Cheques, Excise Adhesive Labels, and University Degree Certificates.
• BNPD (Bank Note Press, Dewas, Madhya Pradesh): Specializes in the high-volume printing of Bank Notes and operates a specialized ink factory that produces state-of-the-art security inks.
• SPPH (Security Printing Press, Hyderabad, Telangana): Dedicated to the printing and supply of sensitive postal stationery, Central Excise stamps, Non-Judicial Stamp Papers, Indian Postal Orders, and Saving Instruments.

It is absolutely imperative to adhere to the strict timelines prescribed by SPMCIL. The online application portal will remain active for exactly one month. Under no circumstances will offline applications or delayed fee payments be entertained for this monumental recruitment cycle.

SPMCIL is highly regarded for offering a robust Industrial Dearness Allowance (IDA) pattern pay scale formulated under the 3rd Pay Revision Committee (PRC) guidelines issued by the Department of Public Enterprises, Ministry of Finance.

Important Clarification on Salary: The figures mentioned in the table below represent the Basic Pay Scale per month. For example, for the Welfare Officer post, the scale is ₹29,740 to ₹1,03,000. This means the maximum basic pay is ₹1.03 Lakhs per month. This is not an annual package (LPA). Once you factor in the Industrial Dearness Allowance (IDA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), cafeteria approach perks, performance-related pay (PRP), Gratuity, and medical facilities, the actual Annual CTC (Cost to Company) will be substantially higher.

The essential educational qualifications and chronological age limits are strictly calculated as on the closing date of the online application process (19.05.2026). Age relaxation is systematically applied as per central government norms: SC/ST candidates get a 5-year relaxation, OBC-NCL candidates get 3 years, PwBD candidates get 10-15 years based on category, and Ex-Servicemen receive relaxation as per stipulated rules.

Internal candidates of SPMCIL are granted age relaxations without any upper age bar, provided they meet specific service length conditions.
