The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is inviting applications from retired and retiring government officers for three senior audit positions: Sr. Audit Officer, Audit Officer, and Assistant Audit Officer. This is a temporary, contract-based employment opportunity for experienced auditors seeking post-retirement engagement in the governance and audit machinery of the nation's capital.
Overview
The Office of the Chief Auditor under the Municipal Corporation of Delhi has announced a recruitment drive under advertisement number MCA/Admn/PCA/3-178/Vol-IV/240. These positions are exclusively open to retired or retiring officers from recognised government organisations, including MCD's own audit and finance wings, the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG) of India, and other Government of India departments. Unlike typical recruitment, this is a contract and temporary position aimed at utilising the experience and expertise of retired officers on a need-based, fixed-term engagement.
Selected officers will be deployed at MCD Headquarters located at Dr. S.P.M. Civic Centre in New Delhi, or at any zonal office operating under the Municipal Chief Auditor's authority. This is an excellent opportunity for retired government servants to contribute their audit expertise while remaining within the structured government framework.
