Five Notices, One Application Process

The vacancies are split across five separate notices. The rules on age, benefits, tenure and how to apply are essentially the same in each, so you only need to find the notice that carries your post.

Important Dates

The notices do not announce any date for a skill test or interview. Any such information, along with corrigenda or addenda, will be published only on the DERC website.

All 17 Posts at a Glance

Four posts sit at Level 14, three at Level 13, seven at Level 11, one at Level 10 and two at Level 8. Assistant Director (Info-Tech) and Principal Private Secretary have two vacancies each.

Eligibility by Post

Every post asks for a recognized qualification and a service condition. The service condition is the part that decides most cases: you either hold an analogous post on a regular basis, or you have put in the stated number of years of regular service at a lower level. Pay levels are given in 7th CPC terms, with 6th CPC grade pay shown alongside.

Administration, Personnel and Finance Posts

Techno-Commercial Posts

Legal Posts

Principal Private Secretary

Joint Director (Admin)

For posts where the notice says experience is desirable or preferred, it improves your standing but is not a condition for applying.

Who Can Apply and the Age Limit

Appointment is by deputation from Central, State and UT Government departments, statutory, autonomous, constitutional, cooperative and local government bodies, and public sector undertakings or corporations under the administrative control of these governments. The legal notice also names judicial bodies in this list.

• The maximum age limit for a deputationist is 56 years.
• The age limit is subject to the general guidelines issued by the Central Government or the Government of NCT of Delhi.
• Age and eligibility are both counted as on the last date of submission of application, 26.10.2026.
• Only applicants who hold the post as well as the pay scale of that post on a substantive basis are considered eligible.

Candidates from PSUs or organizations that follow the Industrial or Variable Dearness Allowance pattern are not turned away. DERC will equate their pay by taking the minimum of the pay scale they hold, plus dearness pay if any, plus the applicable IDA or VDA, against the Central pay levels required.

Pay, Tenure and Benefits on Deputation

The notices do not print a salary figure. Compensation on deputation is governed by the applicable DERC (Management and Development of Human Resources) Regulations, 2001, as amended from time to time, and by the Department of Personnel and Training OM dated 17.06.2010. The regulations are available on the DERC regulations page.

Tenure

A deputation appointment runs for not more than three years in the first instance. It can be extended or renewed up to a maximum of six years at the discretion of the Commission, based on the performance appraisal report and subject to the concurrence of the parent department.

Lease Accommodation

Selected candidates are provided lease accommodation, with a monthly rental ceiling that depends on the pay level. The ceilings are subject to revision from time to time.

Other Facilities

• A staff car as per staff car rules for the Secretary and Executive Director level posts, with transport allowance and vehicle support for official meetings and movements for every level.
• Opportunities to attend training programmes, conferences, professional seminars and study tours in India and abroad.
• Medical allowance or facility, residential telephone reimbursement, internet facility, newspapers and periodicals, and children education allowance, where these are not already availed from another source.

How Candidates Will Be Chosen

The notices do not describe a written exam or a marking scheme. What they do say is that meeting the minimum eligibility does not entitle anyone to be considered or called for an interview, and that more stringent criteria may be used to short-list candidates for a skill test or interview. Canvassing in any form is a disqualification, and DERC will not correspond with applicants.

The commission can also change the number of vacancies or decide not to fill any of them. If that happens, no action is taken on applications received, and the advertisement is treated as withdrawn.

How to Apply

Applications are accepted in online mode only, through a provision on the DERC website. Follow these steps:

1. Read the notice for the post you want and confirm that you meet the essential qualification, the pay matrix level and the years of regular service listed for that post.

6. If you are serving in a Government department, PSU, autonomous body, statutory body, local body or corporation, submit the undertaking in the format given as Annexure-I of the notice.

8. Keep checking the DERC website after applying, because any corrigendum, addendum or cancellation will be published there only.

An incomplete application, or one submitted in a different format, can be rejected summarily.
