Fee and Selection

The source listing reports ₹100 for General/OBC candidates and exemption for SC/ST/PwBD and all female candidates; applicants should confirm the exact fee provisions on the official portal. GDS engagement does not use a conventional written recruitment examination. Shortlisting is merit-based, followed by physical/document verification and the engagement process prescribed by India Post.

The official notification states the initial TRCA slab as ₹12,000–₹29,380 for BPM and ₹10,000–₹24,470 for ABPM/Dak Sevak, with applicable allowances. Candidates should also understand that GDS are not regular Central Government employees. GDS generally work 4–5 hours daily under GDS rules. A selected BPM has additional responsibilities, including arranging suitable accommodation for the Branch Post Office at his or her own cost before engagement.

How to Apply

  1. Open the official GDS portal and complete fresh registration.
  2. Use your own active mobile number and email ID.
  3. Choose the correct circle/division and eligible post preferences.
  4. Fill Class 10 and local-language details carefully.
  5. Upload the prescribed recent photograph and signature.
