CPDO Upper Division Clerk Recruitment 2026 — 1 post on deputation

The Central Poultry Development Organization (Northern Region), Chandigarh — under the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying — has invited applications for one post of Upper Division Clerk (General Central Service, Group C, Non-Gazetted, Ministerial) on deputation, under Advertisement No. C.P.D.O.(NR)/Chd./2026/149 dated 17 July 2026. This is not an open recruitment: only serving Central or State Government officials can apply, and applications must come through proper channel.

Eligibility

Officials must either hold an analogous post on a regular basis, or have 8 years of regular service as Lower Division Clerk (Level-2) and hold a Bachelor degree from a recognised university or equivalent. The period of deputation, including any ex-cadre post held immediately before this appointment, ordinarily does not exceed 3 years.

Pay

The post carries the pre-revised scale of Rs. 5,200–20,200 with Grade Pay Rs. 2,400, placed at Level-4 of the 7th CPC Pay Matrix. The selected official draws pay plus deputation (duty) allowance, or pay fixed in the scale attached to the post, at their option, as per Government of India rules.

Last date — computed, read this carefully

The circular gives NO calendar last date. It says applications must be received within 60 days of publication of the advertisement in the Employment News. The last date shown on this post, 8 January 2027, is computed from that 60-day rule: the circular was uploaded to the DAHD website on 9 November 2026, and 9 November 2026 plus 60 days is 8 January 2027. It is not printed in the notice itself, so candidates should apply well before the computed date and check the Employment News publication date. Although the circular is dated 17 July 2026, it was only published on the DAHD website on 9 November 2026, and the application window is still open.

Age and fee

No age limit is stated in the circular — the standard 56-year deputation cap is not printed here, so no age figure is given on this post. No application fee is mentioned anywhere in the notice.

How to apply

Apply offline in the prescribed proforma (neatly typed), with a recent passport-size photograph, in a cover superscribed 'APPLICATION FOR THE POST OF UPPER DIVISION CLERK', through proper channel to the Director, Central Poultry Development Organization (NR), Industrial Area Phase-I, Chandigarh–160002, along with copies of up-to-date APARs for the last five years, duly attested.
