Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

High-stakes regulatory and economic antitrust enforcement environment under the statutory framework of the Competition Act, 2002. Officers in the DG Office conduct statutory investigations into anti-competitive agreements, cartels, abuse of dominant position, and complex merger/acquisition combinations. The role demands deep forensic financial analysis, digital evidence handling, witness deposition, dawn raids/search operations, and drafting of comprehensive investigation reports submitted directly to the Commission. Stationed at Kidwai Nagar East, New Delhi with central executive office hours and rigorous confidentiality requirements.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Deputation is on foreign service terms for an initial tenure of 3 years, extendable up to the maximum period prescribed under DoPT guidelines. All positions are located in New Delhi.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

As an ex-cadre deputation assignment, service in the DG Office carries deputation duty allowance and protection of parent cadre seniority, but does not provide direct promotional progression within CCI. However, investigative leadership experience at CCI serves as premier credentialing for empanelment at Joint Secretary / Additional Secretary levels and leadership roles in economic enforcement bodies (ED, SFIO, DRI, SEBI).
Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

Avoid common application rejection triggers, photo/signature guidelines, and certificate validity windows.

  • Applications must be forwarded strictly through proper channel (cadre controlling authority); advance copies or applications received without employer vigilance/cadre clearances will be summarily rejected.
  • No TA/DA will be paid for attending the selection committee interaction, and candidates selected on deputation will not be allowed to withdraw their candidature.
  • Completed applications must physically reach the CCI office by 21.12.2026 (5:00 PM); postal delays will not be accommodated.
