Punjab SSSB Group-D Recruitment 2026 — Posts Raised to 2,007, Last Date 14 September
Subordinate Services Selection Board, Punjab (SSSB Punjab) · Post Date:
Applications open — last date 14/09/2026
Short Information
Advertisement No. 04 of 2026 for Group-D Common Cadre posts has grown mid-recruitment. A corrigendum of 3 September 2026 adds the Excise and Taxation Commissioner's Group-D posts and a fresh requisition from the Deputy Commissioner, Moga, taking the count from 1,401 to 2,007 — and pushes the last date for applying and paying the fee to 14 September 2026. The part candidates keep getting wrong: the board states plainly that anyone who already applied under Advertisement No. 04 of 2026 does not need to apply again.

- Departments in the annexure include the Deputy Commissioners of Roopnagar, Gurdaspur and Moga, the Director Youth Services Punjab, the Director Defence Services Welfare, the Director Local Government and the Excise and Taxation Commissioner.
- The corrigendum of 3 September 2026 adds the Excise and Taxation Commissioner's Group-D posts and the posts requisitioned by the Deputy Commissioner, Moga. That is what takes the total from 1,401 to 2,007.

- A corrigendum of 24 August 2026 had already withdrawn the condition in paragraph 1(ii) and the note under serial 7(viii) of the advertisement regarding requisitions received up to 30 September 2026.
- Candidates who already applied under Advertisement No. 04 of 2026 do not need to apply again — the board states this explicitly in both corrigenda.
- The category-wise distribution for every post and department is set out in Annexure-O of the 3 September corrigendum.
