Main News Details: Last Few Hours to Apply
The Jammu & Kashmir Services Selection Board (JKSSB) is currently accepting online applications for 600 Accounts Assistant (Finance) posts in the Finance Department, UT cadre, under Advertisement Notification No. 10 of 2025.
The online application window:
- Opened on 8 December 2025 (00:00 hours)
- Closes on 6 January 2026 (23:59 hours)
After 11:59 pm tonight, the portal will not accept fresh applications or fee payments for this recruitment.
JKSSB has already advised candidates not to wait until the last hours, as heavy traffic on the portal near the deadline can cause slowdowns, login problems or failed payments. Applications are accepted only through the online system linked from jkssb.nic.in, and an application is treated as fully submitted only after successful fee payment and generation of an Application ID.
“I Paid, But Status Shows Pending”: What To Do
With the deadline so close, many candidates are worried about payment failures or delayed status updates. If money has been debited from your bank account but the JKSSB portal still shows the fee as unpaid, follow these steps:
1. Do NOT pay again immediately
- Wait at least 20–30 minutes to allow the payment gateway and bank to reconcile the transaction.
- Many government portals update payment status with a delay. Paying again too quickly can lead to duplicate payments or confusion.
2. Re-check payment status on the JKSSB portal
- Log in to your JKSSB account via jkssb.nic.in.
- Go to “My Applications”.
- Check whether:
- The status shows fee paid / submitted, and
- An Application ID has been generated.
If both are visible, your application is considered successfully submitted.
3. If status still shows unpaid after a reasonable wait
Prepare the full details of your transaction and write to the JKSSB grievance email:
- Official grievance email (as per general online-application instructions):
ssbjkgrievance@gmail.com
Include:
- Name of payee
- Bank account or card (last digits only)
- Advertisement No. (10 of 2025) and post (Accounts Assistant – Finance)
- Application number (if generated)
- Transaction ID / UTR, date, time, amount, and payment mode
You may also contact the helplines mentioned in the recruitment instructions:
- JKSSB Helpdesk (Jammu)
- JKSSB Helpdesk (Srinagar)
- NIC/technical helpdesk number
(Use the latest numbers given in the official notification / instructions.)
Remember: JKSSB has clearly stated that fee payment must be successfully completed within the notified time window. Payments attempted after the cut-off, or those which do not reconcile in time, are liable to be rejected.
Edit Option / Correction Window: What We Know
Under JKSSB’s general online-application rules, once a candidate submits the application, it cannot be edited unless the Board separately announces an Edit Option for certain fields for that particular advertisement.
- For Advertisement 10 of 2025, no separate edit-option notice has been issued so far.
- Candidates should assume that:
- Personal details (name, DOB, parentage, category, domicile etc.)
- Qualification details
- Reservation category
must be filled correctly now, as changes later may not be possible.
If an Edit Option is opened, it will be announced only through an official notice on jkssb.nic.in. Do not rely on rumours or social media posts about corrections.
Bottom line: Double-check the entire form (personal details, category, qualifications, documents) before clicking final submit today.
