ICG Foreman of Stores Recruitment 2026: Overview

Indian Coast Guard (ICG) is recruiting Foremen of Stores through its Directorate of Recruitment for civilian store-management work. These are regular Group B, non-gazetted, non-ministerial posts in the General Central Service. The notified locations are Karwar, Minicoy, Pipavav and Bhubaneswar, with service needs determining where you may ultimately work.

Service Conditions and Caveats

  • Posting liability: Appointment can take you anywhere in India, including the mainland, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and Lakshadweep. The locations shown in the notice are not a guarantee of a particular posting.
  • Changes to the drive: The notified openings are tentative and may change with service requirements. The Coast Guard can also change the stated place of appointment when required.
  • Information in your form: Check that your details agree with the supporting evidence. False information or failure to meet the notice conditions can lead to rejection during recruitment or even after joining, and may result in legal action.
  • Form quality: Overwriting, cutting and corrections are listed among the reasons for rejection. Prepare a clear form and check it carefully before sending it, because an incomplete application can also be rejected.
  • Government employees: Send your application through the proper channel. Your employer’s clearance forms part of the recruitment conditions, and failure to provide it can lead to cancellation before appointment.
  • Travel reimbursement: ST applicants can claim second-class rail or bus fare by the shortest route under Government rules. This concession does not apply to Central or State Government employees, or when the centre is less than 30 km from your residence.
  • No appointment guarantee: Taking or qualifying in the test does not create an automatic right to appointment. You must still meet the conditions of this civilian recruitment.
  • Recruitment updates: The Coast Guard will publish the shortlist and subsequent instructions on its website. Admit cards will be posted in the return envelope supplied with your application, so your correspondence address needs to be clear.

Application Submission Notes

Use Annexure I of the notification and fill it in English or Hindi; the completed application must travel by ordinary post only, because hand delivery and courier submissions are not accepted.
