Group-D court staff openings in the Santhal Pargana belt do not appear every year. Civil Court, Dumka (व्यवहार न्यायालय, दुमका) has invited handwritten applications under Advertisement No. 01/2026 for 12 Anusevak (Peon / अनुसेवक) posts on 7th CPC Level-1 pay.

What Is the Anusevak Salary in Dumka?
Selected Anusevaks are placed in Level-1 of the 7th CPC pay matrix: basic ₹18,000, rising to ₹56,900.
Indicative monthly take-home at joining in Dumka (Z-class city, 10% HRA), using DA near 55% of basic:
| Component | Approximate amount |
|---|---|
| Basic | ₹18,000 |
| DA (~55% of basic) | ₹9,900 |
| HRA (10% for Z-class) | ₹1,800 |
| Transport Allowance (lowest slab, indicative) | ₹1,350 |
| Gross | ~₹31,050 |
| NPS (10% of basic + DA) + nominal deductions | ~₹2,800–₹3,200 |
| In-hand (indicative) | ~₹27,000–₹30,000 |
₹27,000–₹30,000/month is an estimate (basic ₹18,000 + DA ~55% + 10% HRA for Dumka + TA, minus NPS). Actual pay depends on the DA rate in force and deductions in the appointment order. Check figures on the 7th CPC Salary Calculator. NPS impact can be viewed on the NPS Pension Calculator.
What Is the Application Fee?
No application fee is prescribed in Advertisement No. 01/2026 for any category.
You still have to spend on postage or travel, three passport photographs, and a self-addressed envelope of 25 cm × 11 cm with a ₹56 postal stamp so the court can mail your admit card.
How to Apply?
Applications are offline only. There is no online portal.
- Download Advertisement No. 01/2026 from the Civil Court, Dumka recruitment page or the official Anusewak 2026 PDF (forms ‘क’ and ‘ख’ are inside the same PDF).
- Write Form ‘क’ by hand in Hindi (Devanagari) and sign it. Do not type the application.
- Fill Form ‘ख’ (admit card) yourself except columns 4 and 5, which the office will complete.
- Attach self-attested copies of age proof, 10th marksheet/certificate, caste/EWS/PwBD/sports certificate if claimed, and NOC if already in government service.
- Paste one recent passport photograph on the application, one on the admit card, and keep a third spare copy in the packet.
- Enclose a self-addressed envelope 25 cm × 11 cm with a ₹56 stamp.
- On the outer cover, write in large letters: Advertisement No. 01/2026, post name Anusevak, and your category.

Hand delivery is accepted only on working days from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The packet must reach by 05 September 2026.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Sending a typed or English-only application. The notice asks for a handwritten Devanagari form.
- Leaving out the ₹56-stamped 25 cm × 11 cm envelope. Without it the court cannot post your admit card.
- Filling columns 4 and 5 of Form ‘ख’. Those are office fields.
- Do not write anything on the envelope. Packets without Advt. No. 01/2026, post and category can be misfiled.
- Assuming the last date is the posting date. The application must reach Dumka by 05 September 2026.

Why Does Dumka District Court Matter?
Civil Court, Dumka is the district judiciary for Dumka in the Santhal Pargana Division of Jharkhand. The court handles civil and criminal work for the district and sits under the High Court of Jharkhand. Anusevak staff keep files moving, assist courtrooms and support judges’ chambers.
The district was historically part of the old Santal Pargana administration. Court work here is local, file-heavy and public-facing. Candidates searching for Dumka court jobs, Jharkhand peon bharti and district court Group-D seats usually want a posting near home rather than a transferable all-India force.
The honest limit is scale. Twelve seats will not absorb every 10th-pass applicant in the district, and ST candidates will face a tighter ratio on the six reserved seats even though those seats exist.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
Compare this with other Santhal Pargana civil-court peon drives (Deoghar, Godda or Jamtara) and with High Court of Jharkhand Group-D cycles. Those notices often pull a larger statewide pool. Dumka’s 12-seat list is smaller, but six ST seats and a Dumka duty station matter more to a local 10th-pass applicant than a Ranchi-centred High Court list.
Best fit: 10th-pass residents of Dumka and nearby blocks who can write Hindi by hand, accept court-attendant hours, and want Level-1 regular pay rather than NHM or scheme contracts.
Skip this if you need an online form, a published syllabus, or a metro posting. The process is paper-based and the duty station is the district court campus.
Practical tip: Write the application this week and send it by Speed Post with tracking. A form posted on 05 September from another district can miss the “must reach” cut-off.
What Documents Are Required?
- Handwritten Form ‘क’ in Hindi and signed Form ‘ख’
- Three recent passport photographs
- Self-attested 10th marksheet and certificate
- Date-of-birth proof (usually the 10th certificate)
- Caste / EWS / PwBD / sports certificate if reservation is claimed
- NOC if already employed in a government office
- Self-addressed stamped envelope (25 cm × 11 cm, ₹56 stamp)
- Photo ID copy for correspondence (keep a spare for the interview day)
Document alert: Reservation without a competent-authority certificate is treated as UR. Qualification must already be in hand on 05 September 2026. Final-year or “result awaited” 10th cases are not given a later window in this notice.
What Happens After Selection?
- The court posts an admit card with the screening/interview venue and date.
- You appear for screening; shortlisted names move to interview.
- Original documents are checked against the application.
- A merit list is drawn from screening plus interview, subject to court rules.
- A joining/appointment order is issued for Civil Court, Dumka.
- You join as Anusevak on Level-1, complete local induction, and serve under Civil Court service rules (NPS and other state benefits as applicable to regular court staff).
Promotion path in most district courts is slow and vacancy-based: Peon / Anusevak → higher Group-D or clerical feeder posts through departmental process. Do not expect a clerk’s desk on day one.
Based on similar district-court Group-D cycles in Jharkhand, plan for several weeks to a few months between last date and the first call letter.

Q3: Is there an exam for Dumka District Court Anusevak, or is it interview-based?
A: Both. The notice names a Screening Test and then an Interview. The paper pattern, marks and syllabus are not printed. The admit card will carry the venue and date.
Q4: What is the salary of this Anusevak post?
A: Level-1, ₹18,000–56,900 basic. Indicative in-hand in Dumka is about ₹27,000–₹30,000 at joining, after DA, 10% HRA and NPS. Use the salary section above for the calculation.
Q5: Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for this recruitment?
A: No. The 10th-pass or equivalent qualification must be held by 05 September 2026, the last date of receipt. A later result will not cure an incomplete application.
Q6: Is Dumka District Court Anusevak a permanent government job?
A: Yes, this is direct recruitment to a regular Anusevak post in Civil Court, Dumka, not an NHM-style contract. Pension and NPS details follow Civil Court / Jharkhand service rules after joining.
Q7: Can candidates from other states apply for this recruitment?
A: The notice requires Indian citizenship. It does not print a Dumka-only domicile lock. Reserved-category claims still need Jharkhand-recognised certificates. Posting is at Dumka court.
Q8: Where will I be posted if I get selected?
A: At Civil Court, Dumka. This advertisement is for the district court establishment, not a statewide transferable cadre list.
Q9: Is Jharkhand domicile required for district court peon posts?
A: Advertisement No. 01/2026 does not state a domicile-only filter. It does apply Jharkhand reservation rules if you claim ST, EWS or other reserved status. Keep certificates ready.
Q10: Is there a physical test for court peon posts in Jharkhand?
A: Not in this notice. Fitness is required in general terms. No height, chest or running standard is printed. Selection named here is screening plus interview.
Q11: What are the disadvantages of this recruitment?
A: Worth knowing before you apply: twelve seats, a handwritten Hindi form, and no published syllabus. Competition for the six ST seats will be local and intense. Court attendant work is physical and public-facing.
Q12: What is the salary of a peon in a Jharkhand district court?
A: Most district-court Anusevak / Peon seats sit on 7th CPC Level-1. Starting in-hand in a Z-class town like Dumka is commonly in the high-₹20,000s after DA and NPS, not the top of the ₹56,900 band.
Q13: Can other-state 10th-pass candidates apply for Jharkhand court Group-D jobs?
A: Citizenship is required. This Dumka notice does not add an extra state-lock sentence. You will still serve in Dumka, and reserved seats need valid Jharkhand-format certificates if you claim them.
