Every week, fake “sarkari naukri” websites and Telegram channels trap job seekers with forged notifications and paid “application forms”. The safest habit is simple: always verify a vacancy on the official recruiting body’s website before paying any fee or sharing documents. Here is the complete list of official sources for every major government job stream.
Official sources for every job stream
| Stream | Official website |
| Central govt (Group B/C) | ssc.gov.in (Staff Selection Commission) |

| UPSC (civil services, defence) | upsc.gov.in |
| Defence enlistment | joinindianarmy.nic.in · agnipathvayu.cdac.in · joinindiannavy.gov.in |

How to spot a fake job notification
- Fee via personal UPI — government fees are always paid through official payment gateways with receipts
- Guaranteed selection claims — no genuine recruitment guarantees selection
- Urgency + WhatsApp forms — real notifications give weeks and use official portals
- Lookalike domains — check the URL ends in .gov.in or .nic.in for government bodies
- No notification PDF — every real vacancy has a detailed official notification with advertisement number
A weekly routine that works
- Check the official portals above once a week (most publish on fixed days)
- Register on ncs.gov.in for verified vacancy alerts by SMS/email
- Read the full notification PDF — eligibility, age relaxation, syllabus — before applying
- Keep documents scanned and ready: photo, signature, category certificates, education proofs
- Track application numbers and payment receipts in one folder
The government job portal — free, no agents, verified employers.
Frequently asked questions
Are job “consultancies” for government jobs legitimate?
No one can influence government selection. Paying anyone for a sarkari job is both a scam risk and illegal. Only official application fees on official portals are genuine.
Where do I report a job fraud?
Report to cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930 immediately, especially if you paid money.
