Applications without the prescribed fee are rejected.
If more than one application is submitted, only the latest valid completed application is retained. Fee paid on earlier registrations stands forfeited.
How to Apply?
Regular and contractual candidates apply only online. Deputation candidates use the online window and the proper-channel postal route.
Step 1. From 29 September 2026, open the NHB recruitment page for Officers in Various Scales 2026-27/01. Path printed in the notice: nhb.org.in → Opportunities → Current Vacancies → Recruitment of Officers in Various Posts – 2026-2027/01 → Click here to Apply Online.
Step 2. Choose New Registration. Note the provisional registration number and password sent by email and SMS.
Step 3. Upload a photograph (4.5 cm × 3.5 cm, 20–50 KB, 200 × 230 pixels preferred), signature in black ink (not CAPITAL letters), a left thumb impression, and the handwritten English declaration. Resize files with the Photo & Signature Resizer before upload.
Declaration text (copy exactly, write by hand in English, not capitals): “I, _______ (Name of the candidate), hereby declare that that I fulfill all the eligibility criteria mentioned in the advertisement/notification and that all the information submitted by me in the application form is correct, true and valid. I will present the supporting documents as and when required.”
Step 4. Upload eligibility documents on the portal at registration. Fill remaining fields. Preview. Complete Registration. No changes are allowed after that click.
Step 5. Pay the fee. Wait for the server intimation. Save the e-Receipt and the application printout.
Step 6 (deputation only). Forward Annexure-I with attested ACR/APAR copies for the last 3 years, NOC and vigilance clearance through proper channel, by Speed Post or Registered Post, to:
Deputy General Manager (HRMD), National Housing Bank, Head Office, Core 5A, India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi – 110003.
Envelope superscription: “For the post of General Manager (Information Technology) on Deputation / Deputy General Manager (Human Resource) on deputation, as the case may be.” Must reach by 18 October 2026.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating 18 October 2026 as the eligibility date. Age, degree and experience stop on 01 September 2026.
- Sending only the deputation hard copy, or only the online form. Both are required for GM (IT) and DGM (HR).
- Writing the declaration in capitals, in another language, or getting someone else to write it. The application is then invalid. A later handwriting mismatch can cancel the appointment.
- Counting KPO/BPO/vendor years toward the printed experience.
- Submitting a second form and assuming the fee will move across. Only the latest valid form is kept.
- Using a ration card or a learner driving licence as photo ID at interview.

How Are Candidates Selected?
- Online application and fee (plus proper-channel papers for deputation).
- Preliminary screening of applications. Meeting the minimum qualification does not create a right to be called.
- Group Discussion, only if the Bank finds the eligible pool large.
- Interview. Minimum interview marks are fixed by the Bank. Final rank lists are drawn in descending order of interview scores, category-wise for that post. Ties at the cut-off are broken by age in descending order (older candidate ranked higher).
- Document verification at interview against originals.
No written-exam pattern, syllabus or negative marking is printed. No interview stage would be a misreading of this notice. Selection is interview-led after screening.
Physical standards are not specified in this notification.
Eligible outstation candidates who attend the interview may claim 3rd AC rail (Mail/Express) or bus fare by the shortest route, or actuals if lower. Local conveyance is not paid. A candidate found ineligible at interview gets no fare.
Why Does National Housing Bank Matter?
National Housing Bank is the statutory apex housing-finance institution in India, set up under the National Housing Bank Act, 1987. Its work sits in housing finance regulation, refinancing and market development, not high-street retail banking.
Officers here deal with housing-finance companies, refinancing banks and HFCs, Board and SEBI-facing secretarial work, taxation of an All-India Financial Institution, and the Bank’s own IT stack. That is why this advertisement hires IT, HR, Accounts, Legal and Company Secretary specialists rather than generalist probationary officers.
Why candidates look this up: NHB is a small specialist All-India Financial Institution. A Scale III or Scale V seat here is a housing-finance career, not a mass PSB branch posting. The honest limit in this notice is size. Only six seats, all-India transfer liability, and one of those seats is a three-year contract with one-month exit on either side.
Related reading: housing finance sector jobs and the National Housing Bank organisation page.
The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
This is closer to a specialist AIFI hire than to IBPS PO or a State PSC combined exam. The comparison a serious applicant actually has open is other All-India Financial Institution and public sector bank specialist officer windows (SIDBI, NABARD, EXIM-style AIFI roles, or a PSB Scale III–V specialist vacancy), not a graduate clerk drive. Those other organisations’ current pay and vacancy counts are not printed here, so they are not restated as figures.
Best fit: mid-career bankers, HFC/NBFC specialists, practising company secretaries and recovery lawyers who already hold the exact rank or work-stream the notice names, and who will accept posting anywhere in India.

Skip this if: you need a written-exam route with a published syllabus; you only have vendor/KPO years; you want a guaranteed Delhi-only desk; or you treat the Company Secretary seat as a regular Scale VI job. It is a three-year contract.
Practical tip: Build the experience certificates so the exact phrases in the notice appear on the letterhead — “corporate taxation, GST, TDS, Balance Sheet, regulatory reporting”, “title investigation reports… SARFAESI, DRT and recovery laws”, “designated Company Secretary / Assistant Company Secretary”, or “current posting being in IT / HR Department”. Screening will use those words.
What Documents Are Required?
Produce originals plus self-attested photocopies at interview. Missing papers will cancel that day’s candidature.
- Printout of valid Interview e-Call Letter and the system-generated online application
- Date of birth proof (municipal birth certificate or SSLC / Class X with DOB)
- Photo identity proof matching the name on the e-Call Letter (PAN, passport, permanent driving licence, voter card, bank passbook with photo, Gazetted Officer ID, college/university ID, Aadhaar). Ration card and learner licence are not accepted
- Marksheets and degree / CA / CMA / ICSI certificates showing result declared on or before 01 September 2026
- University CGPA-to-percentage conversion certificate if grade points were awarded
- Specialisation certificate if the degree title is silent on the field
- Experience certificates that name the required field
- SC / ST / OBC certificate in the Government of India format; OBC-NCL certificate issued in FY 2025-26
- PwBD certificate from the competent authority
- EWS Income and Asset Certificate issued in FY 2025-26
- Ex-servicemen: discharge book, PPO and rank proof
- NOC for serving government / quasi-government / PSU / nationalised bank / FI staff
- Eligibility certificate from the Government of India for Nepal/Bhutan/Tibetan-refugee/PIO categories
- Deputation set: Annexure-I, last 3 years’ ACR/APARs, NOC, vigilance clearance

Absorption at the end of tenure is only an option, subject to satisfactory performance and parent NOC, and only at the Bank’s discretion. The officer has no lien on NHB’s regular establishment.
All selected candidates are liable to posting and transfer to any NHB office.

FAQs – NHB Officer Recruitment 2026
What is the last date to apply for NHB Officer Recruitment 2026?
18 October 2026. That date covers online registration, fee payment and receipt of the deputation hard copy in New Delhi. No extension is announced as of 28 September 2026.
What is the age limit for NHB GM, AGM and Manager posts?
Managers: 25 to 35 years. AGM (Accounts) and DGM (Company Secretary): 33 to 55 years. Deputation GM (IT) and DGM (HR): maximum 56 years. These maxima are for UR and EWS. Other relaxations follow Government of India guidelines. Age is calculated as on 01 September 2026.
Is there an exam for NHB Officer Recruitment 2026, or is it interview-based?
No written exam is conducted. Selection is through shortlisting and an interview. If many eligible applications arrive, NHB may add a Group Discussion before the interview. Final ranking is by interview marks.
What is the salary of an NHB Manager or AGM?
Regular Manager Scale III basic is ₹85,920–₹1,05,280. Regular AGM Scale V basic is ₹1,20,940–₹1,35,020, plus IBA-linked allowances listed in the notice. DGM (Company Secretary) is ₹3.50 lakh a month, consolidated. In-hand is not printed.
Can final-year students apply for NHB recruitment 2026?
No on the wording here. The candidate must hold a valid marksheet, degree or professional certificate as on 01 September 2026. A result declared after that cut-off does not meet the printed rule.
Is NHB Officer a permanent government job?
It depends on the seat. AGM (Accounts) and Manager (HR/Legal) are advertised as regular posts on one-year probation; the notice does not use the phrase “permanent government job.” DGM (Company Secretary) is a three-year contract. GM (IT) and DGM (HR) are three-year deputations, with absorption only at NHB’s discretion.
Can candidates from other states apply for NHB recruitment?
Yes. This is an all-India recruitment. Indian citizens and the other nationality categories listed in the notice, with a Government of India eligibility certificate, may apply. There is no state domicile filter. Posting can be anywhere in India.
Where will I be posted if selected by National Housing Bank?
Anywhere NHB posts you. The notice says selected candidates are liable to be posted or transferred to the Bank’s various offices at its sole discretion. No home-state preference form is printed.
Do I need GATE or IBPS to apply?
No. This advertisement does not use GATE or an IBPS CRP score. NHB will screen its own applications and call shortlisted candidates for interview.
What is the probation period in National Housing Bank?
One year of active service for regular Assistant General Manager and Manager posts, extendable at the Bank’s discretion. The contractual Company Secretary seat has no probation clause; it runs on a three-year contract. Deputation tenure is three years with annual review.
Will NHB refund the application fee if I am not shortlisted?
No. The notice says the fee and intimation charges will not be refunded under any circumstances, and will not be held for another exam or interview, including where NHB rejects the application.
What are the disadvantages of this NHB recruitment?
Worth knowing before you apply: six seats only, all-India transfer with no printed choice of city, interview without a published written syllabus, and one of the six seats is a three-year contract that either side can end with a month’s notice.
How do I get help if the NHB form or payment fails?
Email recruitments@nhb.org.in with the subject “Recruitment of Officers in Various Posts – 2026-27/01”. No helpline number is printed in this advertisement.
