Enforcement Directorate Addl. Director Recruitment 2026 (18 Posts)

This role is ideal for experienced Central or State Government officers with a proven track record. Candidates must possess at least 12 years of overall experience, with a significant portion (8 years) in intelligence, investigation, adjudication, or prosecution related to fiscal/criminal laws, or in finance/accounts/corporate affairs. Additionally, 4 years of administrative experience are mandatory. Applicants should currently be holding an analogous post on a regular basis or have 5 years of regular service in the specified Pay Matrix Level-12 (pre-revised PB-3 with Grade Pay Rs. 7600) or equivalent, seeking a challenging deputation in a high-stakes enforcement environment.

This deputation opportunity is not suitable for fresh graduates, candidates lacking specific government service experience at the required seniority levels, or individuals without extensive experience in intelligence, investigation, or administrative functions as outlined. Those looking for a direct recruitment or permanent position will find this unsuitable, as it is a deputation role for a maximum of four years. The maximum age limit of 56 years also restricts application for older candidates.

The Directorate of Enforcement is a premier financial investigation agency of the Government of India, operating under the Ministry of Finance. This position as Additional Director carries significant prestige and responsibility in combating economic offenses across India. It offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to national economic security and gain experience in high-impact investigative and administrative work. While a deputation, it provides excellent exposure and professional growth for senior government officers.
