India’s Department of Posts released the first merit list for its 2026 Gramin Dak Sevak recruitment drive on October 12, covering 23,757 vacancies. Candidates can view circle-wise lists of shortlisted applicants through the official India Post GDS online engagement portal and search the PDFs by name or registration number.
Shortlisted candidates must report to the divisional office where they were selected and complete physical document verification by October 27. They are required to bring original documents and two sets of photocopies of the relevant certificates; inclusion on the merit list does not complete the recruitment process.
The department advised applicants to follow instructions from the relevant divisional office and trust only authorized email addresses ending in `@indiapost.gov.in` or `@indiapostgdsonline.gov.in`. It also warned candidates to be alert to fraudulent messages requesting money or personal information.
