| Portal age cap after relaxation | 52 years |
Current recruitment reproductions state the standard relaxations of 5 years for SC/ST, 3 years for OBC-NCL and applicable PwD relaxation.

Because this combined recruitment covers five materially different pay scales, no single salary figure should be treated as the salary for every vacancy.
