Salary and Honorarium

What Is the Selection Process for Ballia Anganwadi Worker 2026?
| Stage | Detail |
|---|---|
| Basis of selection | Merit on educational qualification, minimum Intermediate and maximum Postgraduate |
| Priority | Order of preference explained in the eligibility section |
| Rulebook | Government order dated 17 September 2025 |
The notification describes selection by merit on educational qualification and points to the government order for the process. The selection committee or appointing authority can cancel any selection. When the merit list comes out, you can follow results and merit lists here.
Certificates You Must Have Ready
| Certificate | Rule in the Notification |
|---|---|
| Residence and caste | Issued online by the tehsil with a digital signature, and verifiable online |
| Income | Issued within 3 years before 26 November 2026, and verifiable online |
| All three | Issued on or before 26 November 2026; later certificates are not valid |
| Poverty line | Income limits as per the government order dated 14 September 2015 (as amended) |
Get these certificates before you open the form. An income certificate over three years old, or a certificate that cannot be checked online, puts your application at risk; apply for fresh ones early. Also keep your High School and Intermediate marksheets, and the widow, divorce or abandonment proof if you claim that priority. A widow must show a death certificate from the Gram Panchayat officer or urban body with a certified family register copy. A divorced or abandoned woman needs a court order.
