Inspector Jobs 2026: Inspector Posts Across Government Departments

Inspector is a common Group B/C supervisory-enforcement designation used across many different government departments rather than a single organisation — examples include Income Tax Inspector and Central Excise/GST Inspector (both via SSC CGL), Legal Metrology Inspector (weights and measures enforcement, recruited by state departments), Factory Inspector (workplace safety, state Labour department), and Preventive Officer roles in Customs (also via SSC CGL).

Eligibility across most Inspector posts is a bachelor's degree in any discipline for the SSC CGL-route posts; state-recruited Inspector posts (Legal Metrology, Factory) sometimes require a specific technical or science background relevant to the inspection domain. Because "Inspector" spans multiple departments, candidates should check the specific department's notification carefully rather than assuming a uniform eligibility or exam pattern.

Selection for SSC CGL-route Inspector posts follows the standard Tier 1/Tier 2 CGL exam pattern; state-recruited Inspector posts follow the respective state PSC or subordinate services board's own written exam and interview process. Pay across Inspector-level posts generally falls in Pay Level 7 (Group C, non-gazetted) of the applicable pay matrix, with department-specific allowances.
