Should You Apply?
This Jalpaiguri Additional Inspector engagement suits retired Inspector, BCW & TD, Extension Officer, Head Clerk and UD Clerk staff of the Government of West Bengal who want paid work near Jalpaiguri. Retired BCW & TD employees receive special preference.
The pay is a fixed, consolidated ₹12,000 per month. The engagement ends at age 65 or when a regular Inspector, BCW joins, so the tenure is not secure.
With only four posts, competition is likely to be tight among eligible retired staff. Verification and the interview fall on one day in Jalpaiguri town, so a candidate from far away must plan the trip.
Candidates from other retired categories should not apply for the Jalpaiguri Additional Inspector posts, because the office rejects such applications summarily. Other government jobs may fit them better. Candidates should apply only through the official office and never pay anyone for a government engagement.
