The official notification does not specify any application fee for any category of candidates, including General, EWS, OBC, SC, ST or PwBD.

Selection Process
The official notification does not lay down a fixed, multi-stage selection process common to all posts. Only candidates found prima facie eligible on the basis of the information submitted in the online application form will be called for further stages. Balmer Lawrie reserves the right to decide the actual mode of engagement — which may be an Interview, a Written Test, a Group Discussion, or a combination of these — along with the venue and schedule, depending on the number of vacancies against a post and the number of applications received for it.
How to Apply
Visit the Balmer Lawrie e-recruitment portal at balmerlawrie.com/careers/current-openings and register as a candidate to create your profile.
After registration, go to the ‘Employment Opportunities’ tab on the portal and apply against the specific position you are eligible for and interested in.
Note that merely creating a profile on the portal does not amount to applying — candidates must formally submit an application against a chosen post for their candidature to be considered.
Enter a correct and currently active email ID and mobile number in the application, since any interview intimation to shortlisted candidates will be sent only through email.
Fill in all required educational, experience and personal details accurately, and upload the supporting documents/certificates as prompted by the online form.
Review the filled application carefully, then submit it online any time between 9 September 2026 (10:00 AM) and 29 September 2026 (11:59 PM).
Save or print a copy of the submitted application/acknowledgement for future reference.
In case of any difficulty during the application process, use the ‘Feedback’ link available on the official website to reach the recruitment cell.
The notification asks shortlisted candidates to bring original certificates for verification at the time of interview. Based on this, candidates should keep the following documents ready in scanned and original form; document requirements not explicitly listed in the notification are not assumed here.
Age proof certificate (10th/matriculation certificate or equivalent)
Educational qualification certificates and mark sheets relevant to the post applied for
Experience/service certificate(s) from previous or current employer(s), where a minimum experience is required for the post
Last salary certificate or recent payslips, where applicable
Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwBD), self-attested and in the prescribed format, for candidates claiming reservation or age relaxation
No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the current employer, where applicable
Valid photo identity proof
A recent passport-size photograph, as specified in the online application
Important Instructions
The category (SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/Ex-Servicemen/EWS/General) selected in the application form once submitted cannot be changed later.
Requests for change of mailing address, email ID, category, or the post applied for will not be entertained after submission.
Incomplete applications, applications not in the prescribed format, or applications received after the due date are liable to be summarily rejected.
OBC candidates must submit proof of Non-Creamy Layer status; OBC candidates falling under the ‘creamy layer’ are not entitled to age relaxation or reserved-category consideration.
Engagement under the EWS category is provisional and subject to verification of the Income and Asset Certificate.
Reserved-category candidates must upload self-attested Caste/Tribe/Community/Disability/Income & Asset certificates in the correct prescribed format; failure to do so will result in the candidate being treated as General category with no reservation benefit.
Shortlisted candidates must bring original certificates — including age proof, educational qualification certificates, service certificates, last salary certificate/payslips, category certificate, NOC (where applicable), identity proof and a recent photograph — for verification at the time of interview.
Outstation candidates called for interview are eligible for to-and-fro travel reimbursement as per Company rules.
Selected candidates must undergo a medical examination before joining; candidates found medically unfit will be debarred from engagement.
Applications sent directly by email or communicated over telephone will not be considered — only online applications submitted through the official website are accepted.
Any updates relating to this recruitment — including changes in eligibility requirements, extension of the last date, or cancellation of any post — will be published only on the Company’s official website.
Jurisdiction for any dispute arising out of this recruitment lies with the courts at Kolkata.
