ASTC Manager (Finance) 2026 — 1 Post, Apply Offline by 14 Aug

Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC), Guwahati, a state government transport undertaking under the Government of Assam, has released ASTC Manager (Finance) Recruitment 2026 for 1 post under Notification dated 2 August 2026. ASTC is the lifeline of road transport connectivity in Assam, operating a fleet of approximately 585 buses covering long-distance highway routes, city services, and remote rural connectivity, including Hi-Tech Luxury AC/Non-AC services for long-distance travel and semi and mini deluxe bus services for city and rural areas. Its subsidiary, the Assam State Urban Transport Corporation, separately operates city bus services within Guwahati, and several private bus operators run in partnership under the ASTC umbrella, making the corporation's finance function considerably more complex than a typical single-depot transport undertaking, since it involves consolidated accounting across the parent corporation, its urban transport subsidiary, and partner operator settlements. This recruitment is for a Manager (Finance) to strengthen the corporation's financial management function on a contractual basis at its Head Office in Guwahati. The selected Manager (Finance) will be engaged at the ASTC Head Office, Rupnagar, Guwahati, and will be responsible for financial management, accounting, auditing, budgeting, and financial reporting for the corporation. For a Chartered Accountant, this is a genuinely broad public sector finance mandate covering fleet asset accounting, fuel and maintenance cost control, subsidy reconciliation with the Government of Assam, and statutory audit compliance. ASTC has been undergoing gradual modernisation in recent years, with digital ticketing initiatives and fleet renewal programmes forming part of its broader operational agenda, and the finance function plays a central role in costing and approving such capital expenditure proposals before they go to the ASTC Board and the Government of Assam for sanction. There is no written examination for this recruitment; eligible candidates who submit applications by the deadline will be called for a walk-in interview. The engagement carries a consolidated monthly remuneration of ₹65,000 for an initial period of 11 months, extendable depending on requirement and satisfactory performance. Candidates must submit their application and CV along with supporting documents by post or hand delivery to the ASTC Head Office in Guwahati between 7 August 2026 and 14 August 2026, up to 5:00 PM. Shortlisted candidates will be informed to appear for a walk-in interview on 20 August 2026 at 11:00 AM at the Office of the Managing Director, ASTC Head Quarters, Rupnagar, Guwahati. ASTC has indicated that only shortlisted candidates will be individually contacted, and unsuccessful applicants will not receive separate notification. Candidates must read the complete official ASTC Manager (Finance) 2026 notification at astc.assam.gov.in before applying, and should confirm receipt of their application given the short window between the closing date and the interview date. This makes ASTC Manager (Finance) 2026 a time-sensitive Assam government job opportunity for Chartered Accountants.

Chartered Accountant (CA) from a recognised Institute is the mandatory qualification for this post. Candidates with prior experience in financial management, accounting, auditing, budgeting, and financial reporting within a state transport corporation or similar public sector organisation will be preferred. The post is purely contractual for an initial period of 11 months, which may be extended depending on requirement and satisfactory performance.

• Maximum 30 years as on the date of advertisement, 02 Aug 2026
• Age relaxation may apply as per Government of Assam rules for reserved categories

• Chartered Accountant (CA) qualified from a recognised Institute
• Prior experience in financial management, accounting, auditing, budgeting, or financial reporting preferred, especially within a transport corporation or public sector undertaking
• Age not exceeding 30 years as on 02 Aug 2026, with relaxation as per Government of Assam norms
• Engagement is purely contractual for an initial 11 months, extendable based on performance
• Candidates must be able to join at short notice given the compressed application-to-interview timeline
• Willingness to be based at the Guwahati Head Office is required for this post
• Candidates should be comfortable liaising directly with the Managing Director and senior ASTC management on budget approvals and audit matters
• Familiarity with government accounting procedures, subsidy claim documentation, and statutory audit requirements applicable to state transport corporations will be an advantage during the interview
• Prior exposure to Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) audit processes or state PSU annual account finalisation is particularly well suited to this role given the statutory reporting obligations of a Government of Assam transport corporation position

No application fee is prescribed for this recruitment, since it is a contractual engagement filled through direct offline application and walk-in interview rather than a competitive online examination.
