New Delhi, Jun 28: The Indian Railways is one of the largest job providers in the country. While there are many aspirants in the country for a Railway job there have been many instances in the past where seamsters have tried taking advantage and tricking the innocent job seekers.
A letter has gone viral about an appointment letter issued in the name of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd (IRCTC) claiming that the applicant has been appointed for the post of Commercial Clerk with a salary of Rs 26,500 per month.
