This is a Deputation drive, not open direct recruitment — only candidates already holding an analogous post, or with the specified years of regular service in the relevant Pay Level in their Parent cadre/Department, are eligible to apply offline by 10 October 2026. Selected deputationists will support NALSA's legal aid administration, accounts, IT, secretariat and library functions at its New Delhi headquarters.

Salary for NALSA Recruitment 2026 ranges from Level-4 (₹25,500–₹81,100) for Senior Secretariat Assistant, Stenographer Grade 'D' and Assistant Librarian, to Level-11 (₹67,700–₹2,08,700) for Assistant Legal Aid Advisor, with no application fee for any category.
