Recruitment Note: About Indian Air Force (IAF)

The Indian Air Force (IAF) is the aerial warfare branch of the Indian Armed Forces, established on 8 October 1932 as an auxiliary air force of the British Empire. After Independence, it was renamed the Indian Air Force and has since grown into one of the largest and most capable air forces in the world — currently ranked among the top 5 globally. Headquartered at New Delhi, IAF operates across 7 operational commands (Western, Eastern, Southern, South Western, Central, Maintenance, and Training) with over 170,000 personnel and a fleet of advanced aircraft including Rafale, Su-30 MKI, Tejas, Apache, and Chinook platforms. IAF's civilian workforce plays a critical support role across its stations and units — handling administrative, logistics, transport, and secretarial functions that keep the air stations operationally ready. Group 'C' Civilian posts in IAF are Central Government posts under the Ministry of Defence, offering the full suite of 7th CPC pay, allowances, and government service benefits.

Recruitment Note: Benefits & Perks Beyond Salary

IAF Group 'C' Civilian employees, being Central Government employees under the Ministry of Defence, receive a comprehensive benefits package. This includes: Dearness Allowance (DA) revised bi-annually by the Central Government; House Rent Allowance (HRA) based on city classification (X/Y/Z); Transport Allowance; Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS) medical coverage for employee and dependents; National Pension System (NPS) contributions; Gratuity after qualifying service; Leave Travel Concession (LTC) for travel within India; Annual Earned Leave (30 days), Sick Leave, Casual Leave, and Maternity/Paternity Leave; Children's Education Allowance; Group Insurance Scheme (CGEGIS); Access to canteen facilities at Air Force Stations; and possibility of accommodation in Air Force quarters depending on availability. The 'All India Service Liability' clause means candidates may be posted anywhere in India.

Recruitment Note: Important Instructions for Applicants

Candidates may apply to any Air Force Station of their choice subject to available vacancies and their qualification. A separate application must be submitted for each post. There is no application fee for any category. No TA/DA will be paid for attending any test. The Air Force Station commander reserves the right to reject any application without assigning a reason and can change the number of vacancies or reservation status at any time before selection. The centre for examination may be different from the station to which the application was sent. Candidates fulfilling basic eligibility criteria are not automatically entitled to be called for test — shortlisting will be done at the discretion of the respective unit. The crucial date for all certificates (age, category, experience) is the last date of receipt of application i.e., 01/06/2026.

EWS certificate must be valid for FY 2026-27 based on FY 2025-26 income. PwBD candidates seeking typing test exemption must attach the Medical Certificate in Annexure-II format from a Civil Surgeon.
