MSSC Office Assistant Recruitment 2026

MSSC Office Assistant Recruitment 2026: Overview

Maharashtra State Security Corporation (MSSC), a statutory corporation of the Government of Maharashtra, is hiring Office Assistants for several departments at its head office at the World Trade Centre, Cuffe Parade, Mumbai. MSSC recruits, trains and deploys security personnel at government and outside establishments, so the desk work here revolves around guard recruitment, training, postings and the corporation's accounts.

This is a contract engagement, not a permanent government post. Apart from the current openings, MSSC will also draw up a waiting list (panel) to fill Office Assistant posts that are newly created over the next one year — so a good rank can still get you a call even if you miss the first round. Both men and women can apply.

Posts and Disciplines

• Office Assistant – Finance: accounts-side posts meant for candidates with a Master's or Bachelor's degree in accounting or an MBA who already know Tally ERP 9, GST and TDS work. The waiting list also keeps separate places for Finance.
• Office Assistant – Abhiyan Department: general office posts open to graduates of any stream who hold the Marathi and English typing certificates and MS-CIT.
• Office Assistant – Other Departments: desk posts in sections such as recruitment and training, administration and establishment, with the same eligibility as the Abhiyan posts.

Post-wise Duties

Office Assistant – Finance

You will handle the corporation's day-to-day accounting: booking monthly sales and generating e-invoices, processing bills, cheques and receipts, preparing the daily MIS and cash-flow statement, and reconciling ledgers and bank accounts. You will also pay GST, TDS and advance tax, pass petty cash entries in Tally, follow up with clients for recovery and help resolve audit queries.

Office Assistant – Abhiyan and Other Departments

Your work will sit in sections such as recruitment and training, administration, establishment and Abhiyan. Typical files cover the recruitment of security staff, their training, postings, transfers, promotions and disciplinary matters, plus letters to outside establishments about guard deployment.

You will draft notes, letters and reports on the computer, so being comfortable with typing in both Marathi and English and with Word and Excel really matters in this role.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract term: The appointment is on a contract basis for 11 months. Reappointment depends on MSSC's need, your performance and the knowledge you gain on the job.
• Typing certificates: You need the government-recognised GCC typing certificate in both Marathi and English; one language alone is not enough.
• Computer certificate: MS-CIT is compulsory, along with working knowledge of MS Word, Excel and Advanced Excel.
• Type of experience: Your earlier work must be as an Office Assistant, Clerk or Typist in a private, semi-government or government office.
• Transfer between departments: Selected Office Assistants can be shifted from one department to another as per office needs.
• Place of work: All posts are at the MSSC head office in Mumbai.
• Changes to the drive: The number of posts may go up, and MSSC keeps the right to cancel or change the process, fully or partly, at any stage. Its decision on appointments is final.
• Interview travel: You attend the test and interview at your own cost.

Application Submission Notes

You apply through the Google Form linked in the notice. After you submit it, email the acknowledgement to empanelment.mssc@gmail.com — the notice asks for this as a separate step, so do not skip it.
