The UKSSSC Assistant Accountant Recruitment 2026 has been announced by the Uttarakhand Subordinate Service Selection Commission with 379 total vacancies for Accountant, Assistant Accountant, Office Assistant-3 (Account), and Cashier posts. Online applications start on 26 July 2026 and close on 15 August 2026. The exam is on 12 October 2026. Candidates aged 21–42 years with a B.Com or equivalent qualification can apply.

Who Is Eligible? — Age & Education

Eligibility is the first thing to check before you spend time filling the form. The age limit is common for all four posts, but the educational qualification changes post to post — read the one that matches the post you’re targeting.

Age Limit

• Minimum: 21 years
• Maximum: 42 years
• Cutoff date: Age is calculated as on 01.07.2026
• Relaxation: Category-wise age relaxation is not mentioned in the notification. Reserved-category candidates should verify the exact relaxation from the official notification PDF.

Educational Qualification — Post Wise

Keep your typing certificates ready. The Assistant Accountant and Office Assistant-3 posts explicitly require computer typing speed — a standard typing certificate (Hindi and/or English) is what you’ll need to produce.

Vacancy Details & Pay Scale

Here’s the quick breakdown of the 379 total vacancies under Advertisement No. 79/UKSSSC/2026. Most of the seats — 372 out of 379 — are for Assistant Accountant, so that’s clearly the main post this time.

A category-wise (caste) break-up of these vacancies has not been shared in the notification yet. Keep checking the official website for the detailed break-up whenever it’s published.

Salary & Career Growth

All four posts fall under the state government pay matrix, which means a regular pay scale, allowances, and pension benefits. Here’s what each post starts with:

• Accountant: ₹35,400 – ₹1,12,400 per month (Pay Level 6)
• Assistant Accountant: ₹29,800 – ₹94,300 per month (Pay Level 5)
• Office Assistant-3 (Account): ₹27,200 – ₹86,100 per month (Pay Level 4)
• Cashier cum Assistant Accountant: ₹27,200 – ₹86,100 per month (Pay Level 4)

On top of the basic pay, state government employees get DA, HRA, and other allowances as per Uttarakhand government rules. Promotion paths follow the standard state government hierarchy — starting as an Accountant or Assistant Accountant gives you a clear route into higher accounts posts over time.

Mark These Dates

Don’t wait until the last date. The application and fee payment close on the same day — 15 August 2026 — so there’s no extra window to pay later. Submit and pay well in advance to avoid last-day server trouble.

Application Fee — Category Wise

Pay the examination fee through Net Banking, Debit Card, Credit Card, or Challan. Keep the payment receipt and your application reference number safe — you’ll need them for the admit card and result.

Selection Process — Written Exam

The UKSSSC has kept the selection simple this time: selection is based on the written exam. There’s no interview or physical stage mentioned for these posts.

1. Apply Online: Fill and submit your application on the official UKSSSC website between 26 July 2026 and 15 August 2026.
2. Pay the Fee: Complete your fee payment by 15 August 2026 — a pending fee means an invalid application.
3. Written Exam: Appear for the written examination scheduled on 12 October 2026.
4. Result & Next Steps: Candidates who clear the written exam move forward as per the official notification. Any further stages — document verification, etc. — will be announced by the commission.

Exam pattern: The detailed exam pattern — number of questions, subjects, duration, and marking scheme — is given in the official notification PDF. Download it before you start preparing.

How to Apply — Step by Step

1. Visit the official UKSSSC website: sssc.uk.gov.in (or the direct apply link ukssscrecruitment.in once active).
2. Register with a valid email ID and mobile number on the online portal.
3. Log in and fill the application form with your personal, educational, and category details.
4. Select the post you’re applying for — Accountant, Assistant Accountant, Office Assistant-3, or Cashier cum Assistant Accountant.
5. Upload scanned photograph, signature, and required certificates in the prescribed format.
6. Pay the application fee online via net banking, debit/credit card, or challan.
7. Review every field, submit the form, and download the final confirmation page for your records.

Tip: Apply 3–4 days before 15 August 2026. The portal slows down in the final 48 hours, and corrections after submission are rarely entertained.

Required Documents

• Scanned passport-size photograph and signature
• B.Com / BBA / M.Com / PG mark sheets and certificates (as per the post)
• Typing speed certificate in Hindi and/or English (for Assistant Accountant and Office Assistant-3 posts)
• One-Year Diploma in Computer certificate (for Office Assistant-3)
• Experience certificate, if claiming the Accountant post’s 5-year experience requirement
• Age / date-of-birth proof
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/DIVYANG — if applying under a reserved category)
• Valid email ID and mobile number

Important Instructions & Common Mistakes

• Fee payment deadline equals the application deadline. Both close on 15 August 2026 — there’s no separate window to pay later.
• Match your qualification to the right post. The Accountant post needs 5 years of experience; the Assistant Accountant and Office Assistant-3 posts need typing speed certificates. Applying for the wrong post wastes your fee.
• Enter your name, DOB, and category exactly as per your official documents — mismatches cause rejection during verification.
• Keep your application ID and password safe. You’ll need them to download the admit card and check the result.
• Apply only through the official portal. Don’t trust agents or unofficial websites promising guaranteed selection.
