Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) Technical Officer Recruitment 2026 - 6 Posts

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) issued Vacancy Circular No. 13/2026 for Technical Officer posts at the UIDAI Technology Centre, Bengaluru. The latest extension circular says the recruitment is for six Technical Officer posts and extends the application closing date to 15 July 2026. The original circular gives the eligibility, pay level, deputation terms, and application procedure, so both the original circular and extension notice are important for applicants.

The post is on deputation on Foreign Service terms. Private candidates are not eligible, and applications must come through the applicant's parent organisation with the required certificates and service record documents. The usual deputation period is five years, though the lending organisation may relieve an officer for a shorter period subject to a minimum of three years.
