How Are Candidates Selected

Short listing: Applications are checked against the educational qualification, age and sports eligibility conditions.

Sports achievements and educational qualifications: Selection is made by weighing your sports achievements (using the order of preference above), the consistency of your performance, age and qualifications. One tracker says there is no written competitive exam. [check] The source does not give the weightage or how ties are broken.

Skill tests after appointment: Tax Assistants take the data entry test and Stenographers Grade II take the stenography test after joining.

Why This Job Matters

The Income Tax Department is a large central government department, and sports quota recruitment lets sportspersons move into regular Group C posts without a competitive written exam. Seats are very uneven across sports, from 15 in athletics and 12 in hockey down to 1 each in bodybuilding, squash and triathlon.

The FreshersLike Take

Best fit: A sportsperson aged 27 or under with certified medals or participation in one of the listed games within the 1 January 2020 to 15 October 2026 window, who also has the matching qualification and wants a regular central government post in Delhi.

Who should think twice: If you do not have verifiable achievements in one of these 27 sports categories during that window, you cannot be selected even if you meet the educational and age rules, and with as few as 1 seat in some sports, competition inside each sport can be tough.

Practical tip: Gather your certificates now and check that each competition date falls inside the 1 January 2020 to 15 October 2026 window and that the organiser is a recognised federation, since the notification ranks achievements by level and a certificate outside the window or from an unrecognised event will not count.

Documents Required

The source gives no document list and I could not read the official PDF. [check] Confirm the list in the notification. Expect to need:

• Certificates and proof of your sports achievements, with competition dates and levels
• Educational certificates (degree for Tax Assistant, Class 12 for Stenographer Grade II, Class 10 for Multi-Tasking Staff)
• Proof of date of birth
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL), where applicable
• Disability certificate, where applicable
• Ex-servicemen discharge certificate, where applicable

What Happens After Selection

Selected Tax Assistants and Stenographers Grade II must pass the skill tests described above within the time stated in the appointment order. [check] The source gives no information on medical examination, joining or probation.
