IWAI Principal Private Secretary Recruitment 2026

IWAI Principal Private Secretary Recruitment 2026: Overview

Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI), which works under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, needs a Principal Private Secretary (PPS) at its head office in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. This is a deputation post, not open recruitment — only officers already working in Central or State Government offices, PSUs, or statutory and autonomous bodies can apply.

If you are a private secretary or senior stenographer in government looking for a move to a central authority at a higher pay level, this opening is for you. Applications travel by post through your own department, under Employment Notice No. IWAI-17011/4/2026-ADMIN RECTT dated 23 October 2026.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Deputation term: You join for an initial three years. The period of deputation shall ordinarily not exceed 3 years.
• Transfer liability: Your first posting is at Noida, but the post carries all-India transfer liability.
• Service rules: IWAI follows Central Government rules in service matters, and gives leased accommodation and medical reimbursement under its own rules.
• Proper channel only: Your current employer must forward your application. Late, incomplete, or directly sent applications that do not come through proper channel can be rejected.
• Clean record: Your parent office certifies that no vigilance case is pending or planned against you and that no major or minor penalty was imposed on you in the last ten years.
• Selection on record: A Selection Committee reviews your CV and documents. Meeting the basic conditions does not guarantee selection, and IWAI's decision on eligibility is final.
• No canvassing: Any attempt to influence the selection disqualifies you.

Application Submission Notes

Fill the prescribed proforma attached to the notice, in Hindi or English, sign it and paste a self-attested photograph. Your Head of Department also fills the parent-office certificate at the end of the proforma.
