The Bin Sachivalay Clerk (Non-Secretariat Clerk) works in district and taluka-level government offices outside the secretariat, including revenue offices (Mamlatdar office, District Collectorate), police, health, education, and agriculture departments. In revenue offices, clerks assist with file management, data entry of land records, issuing of certificates, and managing public correspondence. They support senior officers in administrative tasks, maintain registers, and handle citizen service requests for copies of land records, income certificates, and domicile certificates. The post is one of the most popular entry-level government jobs in Gujarat.

A Gujarat Bin Sachivalay Clerk receives a basic pay in the pay scale of Rs. 19,950–63,200, with gross monthly salary of approximately Rs. 22,000–28,000 including DA and HRA. The in-hand salary is approximately Rs. 19,000–24,000 per month. Urban postings in Ahmedabad, Surat, and Vadodara carry higher HRA compared to rural postings. Promotion to Head Clerk and Senior Clerk grades is possible with experience and departmental examinations. The post also provides job security, pension benefits, and medical facilities.

The exam covers five sections: General Knowledge (Gujarat and India GK, current affairs, science, environment, polity), Gujarati Language (grammar, comprehension, vocabulary, letter writing), Mathematics (arithmetic, algebra, percentage, profit/loss, time-speed-distance), Reasoning (logical, verbal, non-verbal reasoning, series, analogies), and Computer Knowledge (MS Office, internet, e-Governance, hardware/software basics). The exam is considered easier than Talati or Revenue Inspector exams as it does not test revenue laws specifically. A score of 65+ out of 100 is generally competitive for selection.

GSSSB releases Bin Sachivalay Clerk vacancies across all government departments in Gujarat. Past recruitment cycles have seen 3,000–10,000+ vacancies making it one of the largest recruitment drives in Gujarat.

Vacancies are distributed across districts and departments with reservation norms for SEBC/SC/ST/EWS categories as per Gujarat government rules.
