6. Age Limits & Category-Wise Relaxation Matrix
Scroll Right ↔
| Category | Min Age | Max Age Limit (Post-Wise) | Statutory Relaxation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unreserved (General) | 18 to 21 Years | 27 to 32 Years
(e.g., Patwari is 27, Asst. Manager is 30) Calculated as of 28 March 2026. |
No Relaxation |
| OBC (Delhi Only) | + 3 Years | ||
| SC & ST Category | + 5 Years | ||

⚠️ The Critical “OBC-Delhi” Restriction:
DSSSB enforces a highly specific reservation rule: OBC age relaxations and quota seats are granted EXCLUSIVELY to candidates possessing an OBC certificate issued by the Govt. of NCT of Delhi. If you hold an OBC certificate from UP, Haryana, Bihar, etc. (Outside Delhi OBC), you MUST apply under the Unreserved (UR) category. Applying as an OBC with an outside-state certificate leads to immediate rejection during DV.
