High Commission of India Dar es Salaam Local Clerk Recruitment 2026

High Commission of India, Dar es Salaam — Local Clerk Recruitment 2026

The High Commission of India in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, has invited applications for one post of Local Clerk. This is a locally engaged post at an Indian mission abroad — the job is based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and it is not a posting in India.

Pay — in US dollars, not rupees

The notice fixes the pay at USD 810 per month, plus allowances approved by the Government of India. The salary is paid in US dollars, so this post carries no rupee salary figure — do not convert the amount or treat it as 810 rupees. The appointment carries a three-month probation period, and confirmation depends on successfully clearing probation.

Who can apply

Applicants need Form VI with a working knowledge of computers; candidates with a graduation degree are encouraged to apply. Form VI is the Tanzanian Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education, broadly equivalent to 12th standard in India. Experience is desirable, and the notice looks for a team player with a keen eye for detail and multi-tasking ability. A good command of written and spoken English and Kiswahili is required.

Age — a preference, not a hard limit

The notice says the age is "preferably 20-35 years". That is a preference, not a hard upper or lower limit, and no cut-off date or relaxation is stated. Candidates outside that range are not expressly barred by the notice, but the preference is stated plainly so applicants can judge for themselves.

Health and police clearance

Applicants must be in good health and mentally fit. A medical certificate is required before the appointment is issued, and the appointment is subject to police clearance.

What the job involves

The Local Clerk puts up drafts and notes, settles invoices, liaises with local authorities when required, does protocol work, and carries out any other work assigned by the reporting officers.

Fee, notice number and selection

No application fee is stated in the notice, and no advertisement number or notice date is printed. The notice also does not describe a selection process — it only asks for applications to reach the High Commission before 16 November 2026.

How to apply

Send your application to the Head of Chancery, High Commission of India, P.O. Box 2684, Plot No. 213/51, Shaaban Robert Street, Dar es Salaam — in hard copy, or by email to recruit.hcitz@gmail.com — so that it reaches before 16 November 2026.
