Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) Senior Accounts Officer Recruitment 2026 - 1 Post

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has released Vacancy Circular No. 66/2026 for one Senior Accounts Officer post at the Mumbai Regional Office. This is a deputation appointment on Foreign Service terms, so private candidates are not eligible. It is mainly for government, PSU, autonomous body and similar officers who already handle finance, accounts or budgeting work.

This vacancy is not for fresh graduates or private-sector applicants. UIDAI has clearly made it a deputation post, so the application must come from an eligible parent organisation. The strongest applications will show regular government or PSU service, the right pay level, finance/accounts qualification and a clean vigilance record.

• Government service: Only officers who have completed at least 5 years of government service can apply.
