Other Information

1. Advertisement number:
RECRUITMENT NOTICE No. 16/2026, printed on the recruitment notice at page 11 of the PDF.
2. Notice date source:
'Dated 03.02.2026' read from the page-1 header block, below the UIDAI Head Office address and above the word 'Circular'; the recruitment notice on page 11 repeats the same date.
3. Internal contradiction kept as printed:
The page-1 vacancy table shows 2 vacancies for Deputy Director; the recruitment notice on page 11 says 'one post of Deputy Director'. Neither figure has been silently corrected.
4. PIN code discrepancy:
The application address in paragraph 6.4 and in the recruitment notice reads 'New Delhi-110 002' whereas the page-1 letterhead reads 'New Delhi - 110 001'. Both are recorded as printed.
5. Numbering oddity:
The eligibility item in the recruitment notice is labelled '(ii) Deputy Director' although it is the only post listed; there is no '(i)'.
6. Document reference:
I/51980/2026 (top-right running header of every page).
7. Application fee:
No application fee is mentioned in the circular; the fee block is therefore omitted rather than assumed.
