Overview

Important Dates

Vacancy Details

The vacancies are tentative and may change according to administrative requirements. Candidates can apply for one or more posts if they meet the eligibility for each post, but only one application should be submitted, clearly indicating the order of preference. Multiple applications may be rejected.

The 119 vacancies are spread across 27 sports disciplines, with 67 seats for men and 52 for women. Athletics has the largest share at 15 seats, followed by Hockey at 12 and Kabaddi at 9, according to the published information. The sport-wise distribution is tentative and seats may be reallocated between disciplines if a sport does not get enough eligible candidates.

Eligibility Criteria

Candidates must have acquired the prescribed educational qualifications on or before 31 August 2026. This recruitment is exclusively for meritorious sportspersons: applicants must have recognised achievements in the notified sports competitions during the period 1 January 2020 to 15 October 2026, with certificates issued by the competent authorities in the prescribed formats.

The notification gives an order of preference for eligible sportspersons, starting with those who represented India in recognised international competitions, followed by State or Union Territory representatives in Senior or Junior National Championships with the prescribed medal or position, university representatives in Inter-University competitions, Khelo India Games representatives, National School Games representatives, and finally State, Union Territory, University or State School team representatives at the specified competition level. Like other sports quota drives covered on this site, such as the CRPF sports quota recruitment 2026, only achievements in the recognised categories count toward eligibility.

Age Limit

The age limit is determined as of 31 August 2026. Eligible meritorious sportspersons can receive upper-age relaxation of up to 5 years under Government of India instructions, and up to 10 years for eligible SC and ST sportspersons. Age relaxation is available only to candidates satisfying the prescribed sports eligibility and other recruitment requirements.

Application Fee and Salary

The published summary does not state a separate application fee for this drive, so candidates should check the fee details in the official notification on the Income Tax Delhi website before submitting the form.

The pay ranges above follow the 7th Central Pay Commission pay matrix. Applicable allowances and service conditions will be governed by the relevant government rules.

Selection Process

1. Scrutiny of online applications and supporting documents.
2. Shortlisting based on sports achievements and eligibility.
3. Verification of sports certificates and other documents.
4. Applicable skill test or assessment requirements (data-entry test for Tax Assistant, stenography test for Stenographer Grade-II).
5. Final selection and appointment, subject to departmental verification.

Shortlisting or inclusion in a provisional merit list does not itself guarantee appointment. Selected candidates will be posted in the Delhi Region and placed on probation for two years or such period as prescribed by the applicable government rules. Selected sportspersons may also be required to represent the department in tournaments and sports activities. The pattern is comparable to the ITBP constable sports quota recruitment 2026, where sports performance is the deciding factor.
