NALSA Multi-Post Recruitment 2026

NALSA Multi-Post Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) is filling legal, accounts, information technology, secretariat and library positions at its New Delhi office through deputation. NALSA is the statutory apex body created under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. This circular is aimed at serving officers and officials whose parent organisations can release them for the appointment.

Posts and Disciplines

• Assistant Legal Aid Advisor: A legal advisory position within NALSA's deputation recruitment. It has its own law-background and parent-cadre conditions, separate from the other legal posts in the circular.
• Accounts Officer: The accounts and audit cadre position. The notice gives preference to officials working in the Central Government or DGACR.
• Superintendent (Legal): The legal superintendent stream, with administrative, establishment and court matters identified as relevant areas of knowledge.
• Superintendent (IT): The information technology stream. Information security and cyber security are specifically part of the professional background sought for this post.
• Assistant Accounts Officer: A separate accounts position with alternative professional, service-examination and accounts-work routes. Check this entry independently from the Accounts Officer post.
• Assistant Section Officer: A secretariat position with several parent-cadre service routes. The applicable route depends on the regular post you currently hold.
• Assistant (Legal): Another legal stream within the same circular. Its entry conditions differ from those for the legal advisory and superintendent roles.
• Senior Secretariat Assistant: A secretariat support position covered by the deputation notice. Its parent-cadre criteria are listed separately from the Assistant Section Officer criteria.
• Stenographer Grade D: The stenography stream, with English transcription on a computer specified in the notice.
• Assistant Librarian: The library-services stream. The circular treats this as a specialist library position rather than a general secretariat role.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Deputation arrangement: Your current organisation must be able to spare your services immediately. You should consider that release requirement before asking your office to forward the application.
• Excluded applicants: The circular excludes fresh applicants, retired officials and people serving in private-sector organisations. NALSA's own departmental officers and officials cannot be considered for deputation under this notice either.
• Tenure: The initial deputation is for 3 years, with extension possible after satisfactory performance. An early return to your parent cadre requires at least 3 months of notice to you and the lending organisation.
• Receipt requirement: Your application must reach the authority within the prescribed window. Posting it before the deadline does not replace the requirement for timely receipt, and late applications will not be considered.

Application Submission Notes

Use Annexure A, the application form attached to the vacancy circular, and arrange forwarding through your parent office. The application must be sent to The Member Secretary, National Legal Services Authority, 26, Jaisalmer House, Mansingh Road, New Delhi-110011.
