Joining Delhi Police and Civil Defence Roles Through Official Channels

Об этом предложении

The Delhi Police, Home Guards, and Civil Defence all provide various kinds of openings. While these positions fall under the greater category of Delhi Government Jobs , each is selected via a different body and also does not provide the same type of service terms. The Delhi Police Constable position is that of a regular government employee, while those of the Home Guards and Civil Defence Volunteers are different types of volunteer positions. Delhi Police Constable (Executive) Who recruits: The recruitment is conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) for Delhi Police. The recruitment is carried out by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) on behalf of the Delhi Police. Most recent cycle: The year 2025 witnessed the recruitment of 7,565 Constable (Executive) vacancies, where the computer-based test result was announced on 19 June 2026. Different websites give vacancy details as well as results for different dates; hence, you should depend only on the notification posted on ssc.gov.in. Some aggregator sites say that there will be an announcement soon, which I couldn't confirm yet. Eligibility Nationality: Citizen of India. Age: 18-25 years on July 1, 2025, with upper age relaxed for reserved categories. There is relaxation for current Delhi Police personnel and children of police personnel too, so see notice for your category.

Application Fee: Rs 100 with no fee for female, SC, ST, and ex-servicemen candidates. Selection stages A computer-based test.

Salary and Benefits Police Constables of Delhi police are paid according to the Pay Level 3 under the recommendations of 7th Central Pay Commission. Their pay scale is between Rs 21,700 to Rs 69,100. Newly recruited constables will have the starting salary of Rs 21,700 as their basic pay. As per one estimate, in-hand pay of Police Constables of Delhi police ranges between ₹32,000 to ₹40,000 per month. The other estimate considering DA at 60% gives the range as ₹36,000 to ₹43,000 per month. The exact amount will depend on DA, posting, and other deductions. These are just estimates, and the only document which provides the right information is the appointment letter. Delhi Home Guards Recruitment done by: The recruitment of the said volunteers is done by the Directorate General of Home Guards, Delhi, and not by the SSC. These Home Guards are volunteers who help the police force in their work, not the police themselves. Last recruitment: The recruitment drive that took place in January 2024 was for a total of 10,285 volunteers for a period of three years, which can be extended further by two more years. The sanctioned number of the volunteers is 10,285, including women Home Guards. There were some legal complications in the recruitment process of the above recruitment. The legal complication stopped the recruitment of 7,939 posts, while the appointment letters were authorized for 2,346 applicants who had cleared the test. Eligibility Age: Above 25 and under 45 at the time of application, age relaxation considered. Education: Requires At least class 12, or class 10 if former serviceman / CAPF personnel. Citizenship/Residence: Indian citizen and resident of National Capital Territory of Delhi, proved by valid documents. Application Fee: Rs 100, plus a service charge. Selection: A physical standard test and eligibility test, followed by a written test. Bonus marks: Marks will be allotted for previous experience in Home Guard (maximum 8), Civil Defence (maximum 6) and particular Civil Defence training certificates (3). Pay: According to the Lt. Governor’s office, volunteer salaries were going to be Rs 25,000 per month. The Directorate also maintains an out-of-pocket allowance schedule by type of duty, published daily. It is an allowance and not level 3 salary, which can be changed. Please verify the amount on the official website. Civil Defence Volunteers Civil Defence helps in training people on how to react in case of any natural disaster, first aid, and emergency relief. It is voluntary service and does not earn you a salary. The function of Civil Defence in Delhi became different from late 2023 onwards. There was an end to the services provided by Civil Defence volunteers as bus marshals and the Lieutenant Governor issued orders that the former Civil Defence volunteers should be granted 10 extra points in the selection process of Home Guards. Avoiding Fraud Only apply via ssc.gov.in, delhipolice.gov.in, and delhihomeguards.nic.in. Never pay anyone for selection; official charges are very small, which can be paid through the website only. Never believe any call/ message promising selection. Maintain your certificates, ID proofs and residence proofs up-to-date as they will be verified. Final Thought Vacancies, dates, eligibility, physical standards, and payment methods may be different each time there is a new notification. If you are looking for Delhi Police Constable jobs, it is better to follow the SSC notifications for the latest information. For Delhi Home Guards and Civil Defence jobs, candidates must refer to Delhi Government Jobs. This will help candidates avoid outdated, false information and payments.
