Ministry of Personnel, DOPT & DDA Recruitment 2026: Chief Accounts Officer (CAO) Deputation Vacancy

This role is ideal for experienced Group 'A' officers, specifically those at the Deputy Secretary or Director level from All India Services or other Organized Group 'A' services of the Government of India. Candidates should possess a strong background in Accounts and Finance and be seeking a challenging deputation opportunity within a key urban development authority. Impeccable service records and all necessary departmental clearances are essential.

This position is not suitable for freshers or officers not currently serving at the Deputy Secretary/Director level or equivalent. Individuals unable to obtain requisite cadre and vigilance clearances, or those who have not fulfilled the 'cooling off' period requirements after a previous deputation, should not apply. While desirable, a lack of specific experience in Accounts and Finance might be a disadvantage.

This is a high-ranking deputation position within the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), a significant statutory body under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. As a central government Group 'A' level post, it offers considerable professional prestige, exposure to complex financial administration in a major urban context, and opportunities to contribute significantly to public service in the capital. The role provides a valuable avenue for career progression and leadership experience.
