Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

The Consultant (Accounts) joins the Finance Division of the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), an autonomous institute and deemed-to-be university under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, at its Qutab Institutional Area campus in New Delhi. The role demands rigorous administrative and statutory oversight, managing daily financial operations, preparation of annual institutional accounts, bank reconciliations, filing of Income Tax Returns (ITR) and GST compliance, and seamless coordination with internal auditors, statutory auditors, and Comptroller & Auditor General (CAG) audit teams. Furthermore, sound knowledge of Government e-Marketplace (GeM) procurement rules and General Financial Rules (GFR 2017) is crucial for smooth institutional disbursement and procurement.

Posting & Transfer Policy

The appointment is purely on a contractual basis for a fixed period not exceeding 3 years, renewable on a year-to-year basis contingent upon satisfactory performance and ongoing institutional needs. Stationed at IIFT Campus, B-21, Qutab Institutional Area, New Delhi-110016.

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

As an experienced senior consultant position with consolidated monthly remuneration of Rs. 1,00,000/- to Rs. 1,30,000/-, this role operates outside standard Central Government pay scales (7th CPC) and hierarchical cadre promotions. However, contractual consultants receive annual renewal reviews, and higher remuneration packages may be offered to candidates demonstrating exceptional financial stewardship and compliance management.
Crucial Application Warnings & Eligibility Traps

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

  • Strict 8-Year Experience Prerequisite: Applicants must have a minimum of 8 years of post-qualification experience in accounts/finance in a recognized higher educational institute, PSU, or corporate entity of repute; lesser experience leads to automatic rejection.
  • Online Submission Exclusivity: Applications must be submitted strictly via the online application link (docs.iift.ac.in/recruit/solo.asp?jcode=Con_Accs.Sep2026) by 07th October 2026. Submissions through postal mail or direct email will not be accepted.
  • Discretionary Shortlisting Thresholds: In the event of numerous applications, IIFT reserves the right to implement higher shortlisting criteria. Mere fulfillment of minimum eligibility does not confer any right to be called for an interview.
  • Immediate Joining Requirement: The selected candidate must be prepared to join duty immediately upon receipt of the offer of engagement.
