DV Process: Where Will My Document Verification be Conducted?

I got selected in SSC CGL 2022 from Patna, a central region. Will the Document Verification (DV) be conducted in Patna or another city?

Hello there! If you have recently received a selection in the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2022 exam, you might be wondering about the location of your Document Verification (DV) process. The location of DV will depend on the specific department or ministry you have been selected for.

Dependence on Department

For those selected for positions in ministries or departments under the Government of India, the DV process is typically conducted in the capital, Delhi. The specific location can vary, depending on the ministry or department's requirements. It is common for the DV to take place in the ministry headquarters or another place designated by the department.

Similarly, if you have been selected for a position within a department under the central government, the DV process may occur either at the headquarters of the department or at a regional office, also known as the cadre controlling authority (CCA).

Example Scenario

For instance, if you have been selected as an Inspector or Tax Assistant through the CGL exam in the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), your DV will be conducted at the allocated CCA headquarters after your allocation to the specific CCA. If your allocation is to the Madhya Pradesh (MP) CCA, your DV will be arranged in Bhopal.

Once your documents meet the standards as per the details provided and the notification published, you will be notified if you are fit for the appointment.

Change in DV Process

Currently, the DV process has been decentralized. Individual departments now conduct the verification process on a state-wise basis or a division-wise basis. The decision to conduct the DV process in a single location per state or multiple locations is left to the discretion of the department. However, it is safe to assume that capital cities, such as Patna, will provide DV facilities.

Note that if you have been allotted your first-choice state, such as Patna, there is a high probability that your DV will be conducted in Patna. However, this is not a guarantee and depends on the specific department's allocation process.

Important Considerations

It is crucial to stay updated with all the official announcements and notifications. Departments and SSC frequently update their websites with the latest DV schedules and locations. Ensure you have all the necessary documents ready, as any discrepancies may lead to delays or rejections during the DV process.

Summary

The location of the DV process for SSC CGL 2022 is determined by the specific department or ministry you have been selected for. For positions in the central government or its departments, DV may be conducted in Delhi, the department's headquarters, or a designated regional office. Decentralization of the DV process means departments can choose single or multiple locations within states, with capital cities likely to host DV facilities. If you are selected, the most likely DV location for your preference of Patna will depend on your allocation by the department.
