India Post GDS July 2026 Session II Online Form

India Post GDS July 2026 Session II Online Form — a certificate verification schedule — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 19 September 2026 and a fee of ₹100 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Applications open on 31 August 2026 and close on 19 September 2026, giving candidates 20 days to complete the process. At 20 days this is a normal-length window, but the fee and upload steps are the ones that fail late, so leave a few days of margin. A correction window is listed (23-24 September 2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying.

The upper age limit for unreserved candidates is 40 years.

SC / ST / PH and All Category Female are exempt from the application fee under this notification. All fee-paying categories are charged the same ₹100. Payment is accepted via offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
