SMP Kolkata Deputy Director EDP Recruitment 2026

SMP Kolkata Deputy Director EDP Recruitment 2026: Overview

Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata (SMP Kolkata) is filling Deputy Director EDP posts at the Kolkata Dock System through deputation or absorption. The position belongs to the Electronic Data Processing (EDP) Division under the General Administration Department, and the circular addresses serving officers from Major Port Authorities. The notice places this Class I position within the port’s electronic data processing setup.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Deputation tenure: The initial term is 3 years, with an extension of up to 2 years possible. An extension is a provision in the notice, so you should not treat the longer period as guaranteed.
• Parent organisation: Your parent organisation’s leave rules continue to apply during deputation. Kolkata Dock System keeps your leave account and informs the parent organisation when leave is sanctioned.
• Return to your parent organisation: Early return normally involves 3 months’ advance notice to you and your parent organisation. The port may send you back without that notice in exceptional circumstances.
• Departmental proceedings: If a departmental inquiry needs to begin during the deputation, the port may return you to your parent organisation. This condition matters alongside the administrative clearance needed for the application.
• Acceptance of appointment: The application includes an undertaking that you will accept the appointment or posting if selected. You should apply only after considering this commitment and the proposed move to Kolkata.
• Service records: The form distinguishes regular service from officiating or temporary appointments. A financial upgrade under the Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme does not count as regular service in the higher grade.
• Annexure mismatch: Annexure II is attached as the deputation terms, but its heading names Senior Assistant Secretary. The covering circular and recruitment rules identify the present post; ask the port to clarify this heading mismatch before relying on disputed terms.
• Other service matters: Matters not covered by the deputation terms follow the port’s existing rules and orders. Any relaxation of the stated terms needs the port’s approval.

Application Submission Notes

Use the Annexure III application form and arrange forwarding through your port’s proper channel to The Secretary, Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port, Kolkata, 15, Strand Road, Kolkata 700001. An advance copy does not replace the application forwarded by your employer.

Mark the envelope “Application for the post of Dy. Director (EDP) on deputation/absorption basis”. The notice provides a separate forwarding window for advance-copy cases, but incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
