What Posts Are Available? – BMC Vacancy & Eligibility 2026
Six honorary seats sit in one infectious-diseases hospital. Three of the six are Physician seats, so an MD (Medicine) candidate has the widest opening. Radiology, Surgery and Pediatrics are single-seat roles. Category-wise reservation is not printed in this notice.
| Post Name | Vacancies | Qualification | Experience | Pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Honorary Assistant Radiologist | 1 | MD (Radiology) | 2 years after PG | ₹10,000/month |
| Honorary Physician | 3 | MD (Medicine) | 2 years after PG | ₹10,000/month |
| Honorary Surgeon | 1 | MS (Surgery) | 2 years after PG | ₹10,000/month |
| Honorary Paediatrician (बालरोग चिकित्सक) | 1 | MD (Paediatrics) | 2 years after PG | ₹10,000/month |
| Total | 6 |
Footnote: Preference for Assistant Radiologist goes to candidates with more than one year of work at Kasturba Hospital after MD/MS. Use our Experience Calculator to confirm the 2-year post-PG count.
Eligibility – Education, Age & Domicile
- Recognised MD/MS in the exact speciality listed above.
- Minimum 2 years of experience after the postgraduate degree.
- Valid MMC registration.
- Professional indemnity policy copy to be attached with the application.
- Domicile of Maharashtra is not specified as a condition in this notice. MMC registration is the binding licence requirement.
✅ Confirmed: post-wise MD/MS, 2-year post-PG experience, MMC, indemnity policy, in-person filing, ₹10,000 honorarium, contract dates, ₹500 bond after selection.
❓ Not specified: age limit, category-wise reservation, weekly duty roster, OPD versus ward split, interview date, whether DNB is treated as equivalent to MD/MS.
What Is the Age Limit for BMC Recruitment?
The age limit is not specified in advertisement HO / 4292 / K.H. dated 24 August 2026. Do not assume the usual 18–38 municipal-doctor window. If a later office note adds a cap, that note will prevail.
Examples (only if a later circular adopts a typical 38-year UR cap; not confirmed here): ✅ A 37-year-old UR candidate would be inside a 38-year cap if such a cap is later notified. ❌ A 39-year-old UR candidate would fall outside that same hypothetical cap.
Use our Age Eligibility Calculator only after BMC publishes an actual cut-off date and maximum age.
What Is the Honorary Specialist Remuneration in Mumbai?
All six seats carry a fixed honorarium of ₹10,000 per month, described in the notice as payable as per circular (reference in the Marathi advertisement includes the 25 March 2014 honorarium circular).
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Monthly honorarium | ₹10,000 |
| DA / HRA / NPA | Not part of this honorary package |
| NPS / pension | Not applicable |
| In-hand (indicative) | ₹10,000/month before any TDS on your total annual income |
This is an honorarium, not Level-10 or Level-11 specialist pay. Compare honestly: a BMC Assistant Medical Officer on a separate 2026 contractual drive was advertised around ₹90,000 consolidated. Do not treat ₹10,000 as a full-time specialist salary.
Given the honorarium range, many doctors may stay below income-tax thresholds from this engagement alone. Actual tax depends on income from all sources. The honorarium is payable subject to continuation of the contract and hospital rules.
What Is the Application Fee for BMC 2026?
No application fee is mentioned for any category. Do not pay anyone who claims a “processing charge” for this honorary panel.
How to Apply?
The application mode is offline and in person only. Speed post or email is not the process stated for this Kasturba Hospital notice.
- Download and read the BMC Kasturba Hospital Honorary Specialist Recruitment 2026 PDF.
- Prepare a complete bio-data / application with the exact post name (Radiologist / Physician / Surgeon / Pediatrician).
- Attach self-attested copies of: MD/MS passing and attempt certificate, MMC registration, experience certificate, Aadhaar, PAN, and professional indemnity policy.
- Submit the file in person at the Kasturba Hospital Office, Sane Guruji Marg, Satrasta, Mumbai – 400011.
- Visit only on working days, Monday to Friday, 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, between 27 August 2026 and 09 September 2026.
- Take a dated receiving stamp or acknowledgement. That slip is your only proof of filing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Posting the file by courier because another BMC article said “Speed Post.” This notice asks for in-person submission at the hospital office.
- Arriving on Saturday or after 5:00 PM. The window is closed on weekends and holidays.
- Attaching only the degree and skipping MMC or the indemnity policy. Both are listed as required attachments.
- Counting internship or PG residency as the “2 years after PG.” The notice wants post-degree experience.
- Assuming selection creates a right to join another BMC hospital on the same honorary order. The conditions bar that dual engagement.

Why Does BMC Kasturba Hospital Mumbai Matter?
Kasturba Hospital for Infectious Diseases on Sane Guruji Marg is BMC’s isolation hospital for measles, hepatitis, dengue, malaria, leptospirosis, H1N1 and other notified infections. It is the civic body’s dedicated ID facility, not a general multi-speciality teaching college like KEM or Sion.
Honorary specialists support physician, surgery, radiology and pediatric cover while the hospital runs isolation wards, laboratory services and emergency intake. Sector phrase: municipal public healthcare in Greater Mumbai.
Candidates search this drive because MMC-registered specialists want a civic-hospital stamp, because Kasturba is a known ID posting, and because the application window is only two weeks. The honest downside is the honorarium: ₹10,000 a month does not replace a full-time BMC or ESIC specialist contract.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
Put this notice next to the other tab a Mumbai specialist actually has open: BMC’s own Assistant Medical Officer / hospital contractual drives (recent AMO cycle advertised around ₹90,000 consolidated) and ESIC Andheri faculty or senior-resident walks. Those pay a living specialist wage. This Kasturba panel pays an honorarium of ₹10,000 for a six-and-a-half-month winter season.
Best fit: MMC-registered MD/MS doctors who already practise in Mumbai, want Kasturba ID-hospital exposure, and can treat the honorarium as a stipend rather than primary income. The three Physician seats are the realistic target. Radiology candidates with prior Kasturba work have a stated preference.
Who should skip: Fresh postgraduates who need a full-time paycheck, doctors unwilling to file papers in person on a weekday, and anyone who expects absorption into regular BMC specialist cadre. The notice says selected honorary doctors cannot claim a right to work in other BMC hospitals on this order.
Practical tip: Carry two complete sets on 08 September 2026 before 3:00 PM. Get the receiving stamp on your extra copy. If MMC renewal or indemnity expiry falls in September, fix it before you enter the office; the file will not wait for a “to follow” certificate.
What Documents Are Required for Mumbai Municipal Hospital Jobs?
- MD/MS degree passing certificate and attempt certificate
- MMC registration certificate
- Post-PG experience certificate (minimum 2 years)
- Aadhaar card copy
- PAN card copy
- Professional indemnity policy copy
- Recent photograph and signed bio-data naming the exact post
- After selection: ₹500 bond papers as stated in the notice
Document alert: indemnity and MMC are easy to forget because many private-hospital CVs omit them. Bring originals for inspection even though copies are attached.

Service Conditions
- Purely contractual honorary engagement from 15 September 2026 to 31 March 2027.
- One-day technical break after every 179 days.
- ₹500 bond to be executed after selection; refusal can cancel the offer.
- No claim to regular BMC appointment from this notice.
- Dual engagement in another BMC hospital on this same honorary order is barred.
- One-month prior notice is required if the doctor wants to leave; otherwise, the remaining honorarium may not be payable as full dues.
- False documents cancel the engagement.
What Happens After Selection?
- The hospital office shortlists eligible files and calls you for verification or interview (date to be notified).
- You execute the ₹500 bond and submit any pending original certificates.
- Medical Superintendent issues the honorary engagement letter for joining on 15 September 2026.
- You report at Kasturba Hospital, Sane Guruji Marg, and are rostered under hospital administration for isolation ward, OPD or procedure cover as assigned.
- A one-day technical break is inserted after 179 days if the contract is still running.
- Engagement ends on 31 March 2027 unless a fresh notice extends or re-advertises the panel. There is no automatic absorption.
Typical civic honorary panels move from last date to joining in two to four weeks. Treat mid-September joining as the working assumption, not a guarantee.

FAQs – BMC Honorary Specialist 2026
Q1: What is the last date to apply for BMC Honorary Specialist 2026?
A: 09 September 2026, 5:00 PM. Files are accepted only Monday to Friday. No extension is printed in HO / 4292 / K.H. as of 27 August 2026.
Q2: What is the age limit for BMC Honorary Specialist?
A: Not specified in this notification. Do not use a guessed 35- or 38-year cap. Wait for any office note. Use the Age Eligibility Calculator only after BMC states a cut-off date.
Q3: Is there an exam for BMC Honorary Specialist, or is it interview-based?
A: No written exam is notified. Selection moves through application scrutiny, document verification and a possible interview. The interview date is not in the PDF.
Q4: What is the salary of this honorary specialist post?
A: ₹10,000 per month honorarium for all four designations. There is no DA, HRA or NPA in this package. It is not Level-10 specialist pay.
Q5: Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for BMC 2026?
A: No. You need a completed MD/MS plus two years of post-PG experience. Result-awaited PG students do not meet the wording of this notice.
Q6: Is BMC Honorary Specialist a permanent government job?
A: No. It is a contractual honorary engagement from 15 September 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a one-day break every 179 days and no absorption clause.
Q7: Can candidates from other states apply for this recruitment?
A: The notice does not mention a Maharashtra-domicile bar. You still need valid MMC registration to practise and to attach the certificate.
Q8: Where will I be posted if I get selected?
A: Only at Kasturba Hospital, Sane Guruji Marg, Mumbai – 400011. The conditions do not allow using this order to work in another BMC hospital.
Q9: Is DNB accepted in place of MD or MS?
A: Not specified in HO / 4292 / K.H. The table names MD (Radiology), MD (Medicine), MS (Surgery) and MD (Pediatrics). Confirm DNB equivalence at the hospital office before you file.
Q10: Do I need a professional indemnity policy before applying?
A: Yes. A copy of the professional indemnity policy is listed with the required attachments, along with MMC, Aadhaar and PAN.
Q11: What are the disadvantages of this honorary panel?
A: The honest downside is pay and tenure. ₹10,000 a month for a specialist at an isolation hospital is an honorarium, not a livelihood. The contract ends on 31 March 2027 with no promised renewal.
Q12: How much do municipal hospital specialists earn in Mumbai?
A: It depends on the appointment type. This honorary panel is ₹10,000. Separate BMC contractual medical-officer drives have advertised much higher consolidated pay. Regular teaching-hospital specialists follow 7th CPC plus NPA.
Q13: Is a municipal infectious-disease honorary posting useful for private practice?
A: Useful as seasonal civic-hospital experience and an ID-case mix. It is not a substitute for a full-time KEM, Sion, Cooper or ESIC specialist contract if you need stable income.
Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?
- You hold the exact MD/MS named for the seat and have 2 years of post-PG experience.
- MMC registration and professional indemnity policy are ready as self-attested copies.
- You can reach the Kasturba Hospital Office on a weekday between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM before 09 September 2026.
- You accept an honorarium-based engagement of ₹10,000/month till 31 March 2027, not a regular BMC post.
- You are willing to work only at Kasturba Hospital, Mumbai, and to sign the ₹500 bond.
