New Delhi, November 9, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Ministry of Labour and Employment on Monday cautioned jobseekers against fraudulent calls, emails and fake job offers falsely claiming an association with the National Career Service (NCS). It reiterated that all NCS services are completely free.
In a post on X, the ministry urged candidates not to pay anyone for registration, job applications, interview processing or any other employment-related service.
“Beware of job scams! All NCS services are completely free. Do not pay anyone for registration, applications, interviews, or employment-related services. For more information, visit: https://ncs.gov.in,” the ministry said.
The ministry warned that some websites, employers and individuals were allegedly misusing the NCS name and logo to mislead jobseekers. It clarified that the NCS does not endorse or take responsibility for practices involving demands for money in exchange for employment.
Candidates have been advised to verify job-related information only through the official website, www.ncs.gov.in, before sharing personal details or responding to suspicious offers.
Jobseekers can report suspicious communications or employment fraud through the NCS helpline at 1514 or the cybercrime helpline at 1930. They can also seek assistance by writing to support.ncs@gov.in.
The ministry reiterated its appeal to candidates to remain alert to fake job offers and demands for money from individuals or intermediaries promising employment.
