DLSA Amroha Para-Legal Volunteer Recruitment 2026 – Apply Offline for 19 Posts

Vacancies: 19 · Posts: Para-Legal Volunteer (4 locations) · Type: Honorarium-Based · Mode: Offline (post or in person) · Fee: Nil (not charged in this notice) · Apply: from 12 September 2026–30 September 2026, 4:00 PM · Remuneration: Honorarium as prescribed by DLSA (not a monthly salary) · Selection: Interview + training + identity card · Location: Amroha, Uttar Pradesh

District court “job” alerts in western Uttar Pradesh often hide a basic fact: this drive is not a clerk or peon vacancy. District Legal Services Authority, Amroha (DLSA Amroha), under the Uttar Pradesh State Legal Services Authority and the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), is empanelling 19 Para-Legal Volunteers on an honorarium for legal-aid work in Amroha district.

The notice is Letter No. 717/2026 dated 12 September 2026, issued under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 and NALSA’s “Scheme for Para-Legal Volunteers (Revised)” plus the PLV training module. Applications must reach the DLSA Amroha office by 30 September 2026, 4:00 PM, by post or in person, on the form printed in the same PDF.

This is frontline legal-aid work for the poor, persons with disabilities, labourers and uneducated residents, not a regular government service. The advertisement itself says it is not a government post and that volunteers work without a profit motive.

Who Should Apply?

Secondary (10th) pass + good Hindi in Devanagari script (read and write) → Para-Legal Volunteer – 19 seats across HQ and three tehsils

The same 10th-pass bar applies to every seat. The notice also lists preferred source groups from the NALSA scheme. Treat these as additional entry routes, not extra degrees:

• Teachers, including retired teachers → PLV (any of the 19 seats)
• Retired government servants and senior citizens → PLV
• M.S.W. students and teachers → PLV
• Anganwadi workers → PLV
• Doctors/physicians → PLV
• Students and law students (only till enrolment as an advocate) → PLV
• Members of non-political, service-oriented NGOs and clubs → PLV
• Members of women neighbourhood groups, Maithri Sanghams and other SHGs, including marginalised groups → PLV
• Literate long-term prisoners with good conduct (scheme category) → PLV
• Transgender applicants → PLV

The scheme line in the notice is clear: PLVs shall be literate, preferably matriculate, with capacity for overall comprehension. The Amroha advertisement raises that preference to a hard 10th-pass condition.

Who cannot apply (hard filters in this notice)

• Has not passed the Secondary / 10th examination
• Cannot read and write Hindi in Devanagari
• Cannot prove local residence of the tehsil or HQ unit applied for
• Has a pending criminal case (self-declaration required)
• Is already enrolled as an advocate (the listed route is for law students till Bar enrolment)
• Sends an incomplete form or omits required annexures after 4:00 PM on 30 September 2026

Pick the column that matches where you actually live. The form asks you to name HQ or tehsil.

Important Dates

No extension is printed in Letter No. 717/2026. A form that arrives after 4:00 PM on 30 September 2026 will not be accepted.

What Posts Are Available?

DLSA Amroha is filling 19 Para-Legal Volunteer seats for legal-literacy and front-office work at district and tehsil level. Ten of the 19 seats sit at District Headquarters, Amroha. Hasanpur has four, Naugawan Sadat three, Amroha Sadar two.

The table footnote matters: seat counts can rise or fall as per need. There is no category-wise roster in this notice because the authority says these are not government posts.

Post-wise Vacancy & Eligibility

Footnote: Tenure is temporary for one year, with a cap of 20 working days in a month, or even fewer, as printed in the notice.

Your 10th-class percentage is not used as a published shortlist formula in this PDF. There is no written-exam mark in Letter No. 717/2026.

Your interview call is not an appointment
Selection in this notice is based on interview, merit and other conditions, then compulsory training. Only after both does DLSA issue an identity card. A high 10th-class score does not replace the interview or the training gate.

Eligibility – Education, Language & Residence

Mandatory

• Secondary examination passed from a recognised board
• Ability to write and read Hindi in Devanagari with wide working knowledge
• Local residence of the HQ / tehsil unit named in your form, proved by Aadhaar, ration card, voter ID, original residence certificate or equivalent
• Mental and physical fitness; no defect that stops ordinary public-facing work
• No pending criminal case (self-attested affidavit)
• Character certificates from two respectable persons who are not related to you, not older than six months

Preferred (scheme groups, not extra mandatory degrees)
Teachers, retired government servants, senior citizens, M.S.W. students/teachers, Anganwadi workers, doctors, students and unenrolled law students, service NGOs, women SHGs, literate long-term prisoners with good conduct, and transgender applicants.

Confirmed vs not specified

• Confirmed: 19 seats, 10th pass, Hindi Devanagari, local residence of the unit, interview + training, 1-year temporary panel, max 20 duty days a month, no government-post reservation roster
• Not specified: numerical age band, exact rupee honorarium for Amroha, interview date, pin-coded postal line inside the PDF

What Is the Age Limit?

No minimum or maximum age in years is printed in Letter No. 717/2026. The preferred list includes both students and senior citizens, so the notice is not written as a standard 18–40 government roster.

Do not assume OBC +3 or SC/ST +5 from DoPT tables. Those numbers are not in this advertisement.

Examples (scheme reading, not a printed cut-off date):

• A 19-year-old 10th-pass resident of Hasanpur who can write Hindi in Devanagari matches the printed education and residence tests.
• An enrolled advocate looking for a paid government retainer is outside the “law students till they enrol as lawyers” route listed in this notice.

Use our Age Eligibility Calculator only if a later interview call letter states a cut-off date. This advertisement does not.

What Is the Para-Legal Volunteer Honorarium in Amroha?

Letter No. 717/2026 does not print a monthly salary, pay matrix or DA. After identity-card issue, the volunteer is paid the honorarium fixed for the work assigned.

NALSA’s PLV / legal-aid clinic framework, which this advertisement cites, states that the honorarium for a day of clinic or front-office duty shall not be less than ₹250. That is a scheme floor, not an Amroha appointment letter. UPSLSA also maintains a separate circular on PLV honorarium.

Indicative picture if Amroha follows the ₹250/day floor and uses the 20-day monthly cap in this notice:

Honorarium is payable only for days of assigned work, subject to attendance, evaluation every three months, and continuation of NALSA grant. This is not Level-1 or Level-2 pay and there is no HRA, NPS or DA in this notice.

Given this range, many PLVs stay below usual income-tax slab triggers. Actual tax still depends on your total income from all sources.

What Is the Application Fee?

No application fee is printed for any category. Do not pay anyone who claims a “form fee” or “selection charge” for this notice.

How to Apply?

There is no online portal for this notice. Use the prescribed form in the official PDF (page 3) and deliver it to the DLSA Amroha office.

1. Download the DLSA Amroha Para-Legal Volunteer Advertisement 717/2026 PDF from the Allahabad High Court recruitment web diary (open until 30 September 2026, 4:00 PM).
2. Fill every field on the prescribed form: name, parent/spouse, gender, marital status including transgender option, date of birth in figures and words, permanent and correspondence address, whether you are an original resident of Amroha district, tehsil/block/district, occupation, category, education, experience, Bar enrolment status, retirement details if any, mobile number, source group, preferred HQ/tehsil, pending-case declaration, and annexure list.
3. Paste a recent self-signed passport-size photograph on the form. The notice says not to staple the photo.
4. Attach self-attested copies listed in the Documents section below, including two character certificates not older than six months.
5. Submit the set by post or in person so that it reaches the Office of the District Legal Services Authority, Amroha, on or before 30 September 2026, 4:00 PM.
6. Keep a photocopy of the signed form and proof of posting or an office receipt. Suggested (not stated in the notice): write “Application for Para-Legal Volunteer – Letter No. 717/2026 – [Your Name] – [HQ or Tehsil]” on the envelope.

If you send by post, aim to post at least two working days earlier. The cut-off is receipt in the office, not the date on the stamp.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Treating this as a regular District Court Group C vacancy and expecting Level-1 pay or NPS
• Applying for Hasanpur or Naugawan Sadat without residence proof of that tehsil
• Stapling the photograph, leaving fields blank, or skipping the pending-case affidavit
• Sending the form after 4:00 PM on 30 September 2026 and assuming “by post” still counts
• Paying a middleman; this notice does not levy a fee

How Are Para-Legal Volunteers Selected?

No written exam syllabus is printed in Letter No. 717/2026. Selection is described as interview, merit and other conditions, followed by training.

1. Scrutiny of the prescribed form and annexures at DLSA Amroha
2. Interview and merit against the printed conditions
3. Training as per the NALSA orientation/induction/refresher module cited in the notice
4. Declaration as successful only after interview and training
5. Identity card issued by District Legal Services Authority, Amroha
6. Honorarium for assigned work; three-month performance review

No interview stage date is printed yet. No TA/DA is payable for the interview.

Physical standards such as height, chest or a timed run are not listed. The fitness clause is general: mentally and physically healthy, with no defect that blocks ordinary service work.

Why Does DLSA Amroha Matter?

District Legal Services Authority, Amroha runs free legal aid, legal-literacy camps and tehsil-level outreach in Amroha district under UPSLSA Lucknow and NALSA New Delhi. The parent statute is the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. Work sits in the public legal-aid sector, not in police or revenue recruitment.

PLVs are the people who sit in front offices and camps and steer eligible residents toward legal advice, Lok Adalat processes and welfare entitlements. That is why the notice looks for teachers, Anganwadi workers, SHG members and local 10th-pass residents rather than practising advocates.

Candidates search “DLSA Amroha recruitment”, “Amroha court vacancy 2026”, “para legal volunteer UP” and “अमरोहा पीएलवी भर्ती” because district-court PDFs on the High Court diary are easy to confuse with regular staff drives. One honest limit: panel work is part-time, honorarium-based and can stop if the grant or evaluation fails. See also legal aid careers, Uttar Pradesh notifications and the UPSLSA organisation page.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

Compare this with other Uttar Pradesh DLSA PLV panels that use the same NALSA scheme, not with SSC MTS or District Court Group C. Those other district panels also hire 10th-pass local residents on an honorarium for front-office and camp duty. They are a different product from Legal Aid Defence Counsel retainerships, which need practising criminal lawyers and pay a monthly retainer.

Best fit: Amroha residents who already work in schools, Anganwadi centres, SHGs or local NGOs, can write Hindi in Devanagari, and want court-adjacent social work without treating it as the household’s only income.

Who should skip: Anyone who needs a 7th CPC Level-1 salary, NPS, or a path into a permanent District Court cadre. Also skip it if you cannot prove residence in the unit you tick, or if you are already an enrolled advocate looking for panel-counsel fees.

Practical tip: Fill only the HQ or tehsil where your Aadhaar, voter card or nativity paper matches, attach both character certificates dated after March 2026, and plan the file to sit on the DLSA table before 4:00 PM on 30 September 2026, not just in the post office that afternoon.

What Documents Are Required for Uttar Pradesh Legal Aid Work?

Carry originals for verification if called. Attach self-attested copies with the form as listed in the notice:

• Secondary / 10th marksheet or certificate (also used for date of birth)
• Other education certificates claimed
• Caste certificate, if you mention a reserved class (representation is scheme-based; there is no post roster)
• Recent passport-size photograph, self-signed, pasted, not stapled
• Proof that you live in the tehsil/HQ applied for: Aadhaar, ration card, voter ID, original residence certificate or equivalent
• Self-attested affidavit that no criminal case is pending
• Two character certificates from respectable persons who are not related to you, issued within the last six months
• Experience or service papers, if claimed
• Retirement order details, if you are a retired government servant
• Identity proof and a working mobile number as filled on the form

Document alert: Character certificates older than six months, or signed by a relative, do not meet clause 4 of the notice. Tehsil mismatch between form and residence proof is a frequent rejection point in this design.

Service Conditions

• Empanelment is temporary, for one year
• Assigned work will not exceed 20 days in a month, and may be less
• This is not a government post; there is no reservation roster of seats
• Representation of all social groups is to be kept in view as per the scheme
• Identity card comes only after interview and training
• If NALSA stops the grant for this work before the year ends, or if three-monthly evaluation is not satisfactory, the volunteer can be taken off work without prior notice
• No TA/DA for appearing in the interview

What Happens After Selection?

1. DLSA Amroha scrutinises forms and calls eligible applicants for interview.
2. The interview board prepares merit under the printed conditions.
3. Provisionally successful names go through the prescribed PLV orientation/induction training.
4. Only after training does the authority declare the candidate successful and issue an identity card.
5. The volunteer is assigned HQ or tehsil duty days (front office, legal literacy, camps) within the 20-day monthly cap.
6. Honorarium is paid for assigned days; work is reviewed about every three months.
7. There is no automatic absorption as a District Court employee at the end of the year.

Based on other district PLV cycles in Uttar Pradesh, expect several weeks between the last date and the interview, not an appointment letter in the same week.

FAQs – DLSA Amroha Para-Legal Volunteer 2026

What is the last date to apply for DLSA Amroha Para-Legal Volunteer 2026?

30 September 2026, 4:00 PM. The form must reach the DLSA Amroha office by that time, by post or in person. Late submissions are not accepted. No extension is printed in Letter No. 717/2026 as of 23 September 2026.

What is the age limit for DLSA Amroha Para-Legal Volunteer?

Not printed. Letter No. 717/2026 has no minimum or maximum age in years. Preferred groups include students and senior citizens. Do not apply DoPT +3/+5 figures unless a later official note states them.

Is there an exam for DLSA Amroha PLV, or is it interview-based?

No written exam is mentioned in this advertisement. Selection is based on interview, merit and other conditions, then compulsory training. An identity card is issued only after both steps. The interview date will come from DLSA Amroha later.

What is the salary of a Para-Legal Volunteer in Amroha?

There is no monthly salary in this notice. Pay is an honorarium for assigned duty days. NALSA’s cited scheme sets a floor of ₹250 per clinic/front-office day. With the 20-day cap, an illustrative month is about ₹5,000 only if those days are actually given.

Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for this recruitment?

Only if the Secondary / 10th certificate is already in hand. The notice requires that the applicant has passed the Secondary examination. Law students may apply only till they enrol as advocates. Produce the 10th paper with the form, not after joining.

Is DLSA Amroha Para-Legal Volunteer a permanent government job?

No. The advertisement states this is not a government post. Work is voluntary, without a profit motive, on a one-year temporary panel. There is no printed absorption into the District Court cadre and no NPS or Level-1 pay.

Can candidates from other states apply for this recruitment?

The form asks whether you are an original resident of Amroha district and demands local residence proof for the tehsil or HQ you tick. Out-of-district applicants without that proof do not meet the printed annexure rule.

Where will I be posted if selected as a Para-Legal Volunteer?

At the unit you applied for: District Headquarters Amroha, Tehsil Amroha Sadar, Tehsil Naugawan Sadat, or Tehsil Hasanpur. Duty is local legal-aid work on assigned days, not a transferable state cadre posting.

Do I need to live in the same tehsil I apply for?

Yes. Clause 5 of the document list requires proof that you reside in the area of the tehsil committee you choose. HQ applicants must likewise show local residence. Tick the column that matches your papers.

What is the honorarium of para legal volunteers in Uttar Pradesh?

State practice follows NALSA and UPSLSA circulars, not a 7th CPC matrix. The national scheme floor for a day of clinic or front-office work is ₹250. Amroha’s own notice only says “prescribed honorarium” after the identity card is issued.

What are the disadvantages of para legal volunteer work in district legal aid?

The honest downside is income and security. Duty may be far fewer than 20 days a month, honorarium is not a salary, and the panel can end without prior notice if the grant or quarterly review fails. It will not replace a regular court job.

Can 10th pass candidates apply for legal aid volunteer work in Uttar Pradesh?

Yes, when the district notice, like this one, sets Secondary pass as the minimum and asks for Hindi in Devanagari. Many UP DLSA PLV panels use that bar. Always read that district’s PDF; some other states use different literacy wording.

Is para legal volunteer work worth doing after Class 10?

It depends on your goal. It is useful exposure to courts, camps and welfare routing if you already live in that tehsil and can treat honorarium as extra. It is a poor substitute if you need stable pay, leave encashment or a pensionable post.

Final Checklist – Is This the Right Role for You?

Use this quick checklist before you apply:

• You have passed the Secondary / 10th exam and can read and write Hindi in Devanagari.
• You accept that this is honorarium-based volunteer work, not Regular Government Service.
• You can prove residence of the HQ or tehsil named on your form.
• You can attach two unrelated character certificates issued within six months and a no-pending-case affidavit.
• You can deliver the form to DLSA Amroha by 30 September 2026, 4:00 PM.
• You are prepared for the interview + training stage, not a written-exam merit list.
