The post is Scaler (Group C) in the Uttarakhand Forest Development Corporation, 200 vacancies, pay Rs 19,900 to Rs 63,200 (Level 2). The fee is Rs 300 for Unreserved and Uttarakhand OBC, Rs 150 for Uttarakhand SC, ST, EWS and Divyang, and nil for Orphan candidates. It is paid online by credit or debit card, net banking or UPI only.
Other documents the form asks you to upload
Besides the three images, paragraph 2 of the advertisement makes some scans compulsory. You must upload your high school certificate (used to verify name and date of birth) together with both sides of your Aadhaar card. You must also upload the certificate for any vertical or horizontal reservation you claim, and a hill-area or Scheduled Tribe certificate if you want the relaxation in the physical standards.
The advertisement prints no KB, pixel or format rule for these documents, so follow whatever the upload screen shows. Your name, parents' names and date of birth should be entered exactly as on the high school certificate, because no other document is accepted for them.
I missed 22 October: what now?
The advertisement fixes 22 October 2026 as the last date for the online application. The 26 to 27 October window is described as a chance to edit an application that is already filed, not to start a new one. Check the commission website for any later notice.
If you did submit, open it before 26 October and check every upload. A photo that looks stretched or a signature cropped at the edge is far easier to replace in the window than to explain later.
How to prepare the files
- Scan or photograph your signature on plain white paper in good light, then crop it tight.
- Set the signature to 150 x 100 px in the signature resizer and save it as JPG.
- Do the same for a clear left thumb print, again at 150 x 100 px.
- Crop your passport-size photo to 150 x 200 px, keeping the face centred, and save it as JPG.
The advertisement states exact width and height, so a file that is 150 px wide but 120 px tall does not match the stated size even if it looks fine. If you need help with the phone scan itself, see how to scan a signature on your phone.
What can be corrected
The advertisement gives one opportunity to edit the online form after the last date. It does not permit changes to your name, your mother's or father's name, your age or your exam centre. It also warns that filing more than one application with partly altered name, parents' name or date of birth details can bring legal action.
An application counts as complete only when your account shows Completed in the Status column. Press the final Submit button before the deadline, because filling the form without it is not enough.
The advertisement says that if the fee fails for a technical reason, or fails after the money is debited, the amount will be refunded soon. A candidate who does not pay the full fee by the last date is treated as not having applied. For technical help the commission asks you to email chayanayog@gmail.com.
If the upload fails
Since the advertisement states only dimensions and format, check the width and height first, then the format, and then any limit shown on the upload screen. The error text on size problems is covered in the image dimensions error guide.
The same commission ran an earlier form, Advt. 81, with the same pixel sizes. Our UKSSSC PA and Steno post covers that one separately, so do not mix up the two advertisements.
Checklist before you submit or edit
- Photo is JPG, 150 x 200 px, recent and in colour.
- Signature and left thumb are JPG, 150 x 100 px each.
- Name, parents' names and date of birth match your high school certificate.
- Status shows Completed, and you saved a printout for yourself (nothing needs to be posted to the commission).
- High school certificate and both sides of Aadhaar are uploaded, plus any reservation certificate you claim.
- If anything is unclear, trust the screen on the portal over this page.
