The Central Silk Board (CSB), functioning under the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, has issued a recruitment notification for 14 Young Professional–Grade 3 posts. Eligible Chartered Accountants and experienced MBA/M.Com candidates can submit the prescribed application by email on or before 7 October 2026.

This is a contractual opportunity for finance, accounts, audit, procurement, and compliance professionals who have prior experience in the Government sector. Selected candidates will be posted at the CSB Central Office in Bengaluru and various CSB institutes and field units across India.

CSB Recruitment 2026 Overview

Applicants should note that this is not a regular permanent Central Government post. The engagement is initially for two years and may be extended based on the candidate’s performance and approval by the competent authority.

Vacancy Details

A total of 14 Young Professional–Grade 3 vacancies are available across CSB offices and institutes.

Candidates should be prepared to work at the allotted CSB office or institute. Since vacancies are spread across several states, applicants should carefully check the location preference or allocation-related instructions in the prescribed application format before applying.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational qualification and experience

Candidates must meet either of the following eligibility combinations:

• Chartered Accountant with at least 3 years of experience in the Government sector; or
• MBA or M.Com with at least 5 years of experience in the Government sector.

The required experience is particularly relevant for work involving:

• Government accounting in autonomous bodies.
• Tally Prime and accounting software.
• Government procurement procedures.
• Scrutiny and processing of TA/DA claims.
• Verification of medical reimbursement bills.
• Pension-related matters.
• Internal audit work.
• Statutory compliance and related financial responsibilities.

Therefore, this recruitment is best suited to experienced finance and accounts professionals rather than fresh graduates. Candidates should ensure that their experience certificates clearly establish their Government-sector experience and the nature of their duties.

Age limit

The upper age limit is 35 years, calculated as on 1 July 2026.

Applicants should calculate their age based on the specified cut-off date and confirm that they satisfy the condition before submitting the application. The notification details available do not indicate separate age relaxation provisions; candidates should rely on the official advertisement for any category-specific clarification.

Salary and Service Conditions

Selected Young Professionals will receive a consolidated monthly remuneration of ₹70,000, inclusive of applicable taxes. No additional regular employee benefits are mentioned for this contractual engagement.

CSB may consider annual remuneration enhancement based on performance:

The remuneration cannot exceed 1.35 times the initial monthly remuneration during the engagement period. Candidates travelling on official duty may receive TA/DA as applicable to Level-8 employees.

Working hours are generally from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, including a half-hour lunch break. Candidates may be required to work beyond normal hours or on holidays during official exigencies, without separate extra remuneration.

Selection Process

The selection process will be conducted according to Central Silk Board guidelines. Applications will first be examined by a Screening Committee, followed by evaluation through a Selection Committee approved by the competent authority.

No written examination has been specified in the available notification details. Therefore, shortlisting is likely to depend substantially on educational qualification, Government-sector experience, relevance of accounting and audit exposure, and documents submitted with the application. The Selection Committee may also prepare a waiting list valid for one year.

How to Apply

Despite the phrase “Apply Online” often used in job listings, candidates are required to apply through email, not through a conventional online application portal. Applicants must send the completed prescribed application format and supporting documents to the email address mentioned in the official notification.

Follow these steps:

1. Download and complete the prescribed Annexure-I application form.
2. Enter personal, educational, professional, and experience details accurately.
3. Attach self-attested copies of educational certificates and marksheets.
4. Attach relevant experience certificates from previous employers.
5. If currently employed, include the necessary certificate from the current employer, where applicable.
6. Sign the declaration/undertaking confirming that the submitted information is correct.
7. Email the application and documents to [email protected] before the closing date.
8. Ensure the application reaches CSB by 7 October 2026; late applications will not be considered.

• No application fee has been mentioned in the notification details.
• The role is contractual and does not create a claim for permanent employment in CSB or any other Government department.
• Selected candidates must complete the “Dakshta for Young Professionals” course on the iGOT platform within two months of joining.
• Leave is available at 1.5 days for every completed month, subject to the applicable conditions.
• Candidates will need to submit police verification and a medical fitness certificate before engagement.
