CAQM Consultant (PS) — 3 Posts (Retired PS / PPS / PA Only)

The Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM), New Delhi, has invited applications for 3 posts of Consultant (PS) on contract, under notice F. No. A-12034/01/2021-Estt.(Vol.V) dated 11 November 2026. The number of posts may vary with requirement. Applications must reach by 26 November 2026, by post at the CAQM office or by email.

How this post was verified — please read

The official notification PDF itself was not read directly — the fetch returned the official application-form PDF instead. What was read from the official site is the official application form and non-disclosure undertaking PDF, which confirms the post is on contract, asks for PPO number and date, last pay drawn and pay level, and age as on the last date of receipt. The figures in this post (3 posts, eligibility, age, pay, last date) rest on two independent secondary sources that agree exactly with each other.

Who can apply

Only retired employees of Government, Statutory or Autonomous Bodies who retired as Private Secretary or Principal Private Secretary (Pay Level 8 up to Level 11, 7th CPC) or as Personal Assistant (Pay Level 6 to 7, 7th CPC), with at least 5 years' experience of secretarial assistance to officers. Age must not be more than 63 years on the last date of submission. No minimum age is stated.

Pay

Consolidated remuneration equal to last pay drawn minus pension, plus Travelling Allowance as per DoPT / Department of Expenditure guidelines. The amount is fixed for the term, and TDS is deducted. For retirees of non-pensionable bodies, the remuneration is fixed by pay level: Pay Level 11 — Rs. 60,000 per month; Pay Level 8 to 10 — Rs. 40,000 per month; Pay Level 6 to 7 — Rs. 30,000 per month. The summary cards carry that fixed range (Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 60,000), but most applicants are pensionable retirees, for whom the primary formula — last pay drawn minus pension plus TA — applies.

Tenure and terms

The tenure is initially 1 year, extendable or curtailed on requirement and performance. Leave is 1.5 days per completed month. Working hours are 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. The selected consultant must sign the non-disclosure undertaking.

Fee

No fee is specified in the notification, so no application fee is payable.

Selection process

No selection process is specified in the notification.

How to apply

Send the application by post to the Under Secretary (Establishment), CAQM, 17th Floor, Jawahar Vyapar Bhawan, Tolstoy Marg, New Delhi - 110001, or by email, so that it reaches by 26 November 2026. The application form and non-disclosure undertaking are on the CAQM website under Opportunities / Vacancies.
