Shortlisted candidates must visit the division office mentioned in the merit list with their original documents for verification. During this stage, officials will check whether the details provided in the application form are correct.

India Post GDS Document Verification 2026

The India Post has proceeded with the GDS Document Verification 2026 process after releasing the 2nd Merit List. Candidates whose names appear in the second merit list must now report for document verification at their allotted divisional office within the stipulated timeline. As per the latest update, the last date to complete the document verification process is 27th April 2026.

Who gets selected in the 2nd Merit List?

• Candidates whose names were not in the 1st list
• Candidates with slightly lower percentages than the 1st list cut-off
• Candidates belonging to reserved categories where seats remained vacant
• Candidates from specific postal circles where posts are still available

Will India Post release a 3rd Merit List in future?

Yes, India Post may release a 3rd Merit List in the future, only if vacancies remain unfilled after list 1and 2. This can happen when:

• Selected candidates from earlier lists fail to join or accept the offer,
• Candidates withdraw before joining,
• Vacancies are still available in some circles even after issuing previous lists.

So, if after the 1st and 2nd merit lists, there are still unfilled GDS posts, India Post can release a 3rd Merit List to fill the remaining positions.
