HQ 42 Infantry Brigade MTS Recruitment 2026: 12th Pass Multi Tasking Staff Post at Garhi Cantt, Dehradun — Apply Offline Before 30 September

Not every government-linked job arrives through a crowded online portal. Some come quietly — a single vacancy at an Army brigade’s canteen counter in Dehradun, advertised in the newspaper, applied for by post. This is one of those openings, and because almost nobody writes about single-post vacancies, most eligible candidates never even hear about them.

Headquarters 42 Infantry Brigade is hiring Multi Tasking Staff (MTS) for its Shivalik URC Counter at Garhi Cantt, Dehradun. One post. Twelfth pass. No application fee. Fully offline application. If you can operate a computer and know MS Office, you are already most of the way there.

The Opportunity in 30 Seconds

• Hiring unit: HQ 42 Infantry Brigade, Shivalik URC Counter (Unit Run Canteen)
• Post: Multi Tasking Staff (MTS) — 01 vacancy
• Location: Mall Road, Garhi Cantt, Dehradun (Uttarakhand)
• Qualification: 12th pass with MS Office and computer knowledge
• Age: Minimum 18 years — no upper age limit mentioned
• Salary: ₹12,000 per month
• Engagement: On contract basis (संविदा आधार)
• Application fee: Zero — nothing to pay
• Mode: Offline only — by post or in person

Who Should Actually Apply

This vacancy casts a wider net than most people assume:

• 12th-pass candidates with working knowledge of computers and MS Office — that is the core requirement.
• Ex-servicemen — the notice gives explicit preference to ex-servicemen and experienced applicants.
• Civilians — the notice equally states that civilian applicants can also apply, so this is not restricted to Army backgrounds.
• Men and women, Indian citizens of all categories.
• Any age above 18 — like the Forest Department notice from the same newspaper series, no upper age limit is fixed here either, and experienced applicants of any age are invited.

If you are an ex-serviceman with basic computer skills, this one is practically written for you. If you are a civilian 12th-pass candidate, you are still fully eligible — just know that experienced and ex-service applicants get preference.

Pay, Posting and Nature of Work

The selected candidate will work at the Shivalik URC Counter — the Unit Run Canteen counter run under HQ 42 Infantry Brigade on Mall Road, Garhi Cantt, Dehradun. URC counters handle canteen stores and billing operations, so expect the MTS role to involve counter assistance, stock handling, billing support and general upkeep of the facility.

The monthly pay is ₹12,000, and the engagement is on a contract basis. No TA/DA is admissible for appearing in the test or interview, and only shortlisted candidates will receive call letters.

Eligibility, Simply Put

• You must have passed the 12th standard from a recognized board.
• You must have knowledge of computers and MS Office — attach proof of this qualification.
• You must be at least 18 years old as on the last date. No maximum age is prescribed.
• You must be an Indian citizen. All castes and categories may apply.

Documents You’ll Need

Tick these off before you seal the envelope — send self-attested photocopies only, never the originals:

• ☐ Educational and professional qualification certificates
• ☐ Date-of-birth proof (educational certificate showing DOB)
• ☐ Copy of caste certificate
• ☐ Copy of Aadhaar card or other ID proof
• ☐ Experience certificate, if the post requires relevant experience

Keep the newspaper instruction card with yourself. The notice is explicit: it should not be attached with the application.

Filling the Form: The Rules That Matter

Offline forms get rejected over handwriting and small oversights more often than over eligibility. This notice lays down unusually specific instructions, so follow them exactly:

• Fill every column in clear capital English letters.
• Where a column does not apply to you, write N.A. — do not leave it blank.
• Write all entries neatly and legibly; avoid cutting or overwriting.
• Get the blank form from a form vendor in your town or city.

The Envelope Rule — Don’t Skip This

On top of the envelope, in capital English letters, write:

“Application for the post of …………… Category ……………”

Fill in the post name (Multi Tasking Staff) and your category. An unmarked envelope risks being sorted incorrectly or ignored — the notice makes this marking mandatory.

Where Your Application Must Reach

To The, Shivalik URC Counter
Mall Road, Garhi Cantt
(Dehradun) — 248003, Uttarakhand

You can submit the application in person or by post, along with self-attested copies of the required documents. If posting, use Registered Post or Speed Post so you have dispatch proof, and post early — the application must reach by 30 September 2026, not merely be dispatched by then. Late arrivals will not be considered.

Before You Post It — A Quick Self-Check

• ☐ Envelope superscribed with post name and category in capital letters?
• ☐ All form columns filled in capital English letters, N.A. where not applicable?
• ☐ Self-attested copies attached — no originals inside?
• ☐ Caste, Aadhaar/ID and DOB proof included?
• ☐ Instruction card kept with you, not enclosed?
• ☐ Posted early enough to reach Dehradun by 30.09.2026?
