If you're appearing for Punjab's upcoming Group-D exam under Advertisement No. 04 of 2026, take note immediately. The Subordinate Services Selection Board (PSSSB) has issued the official PSSSB Group D Scribe Notice 2026 for Persons with Disabilities (Divyangjan). The board is conducting the written test for 2,098 Group-D posts on October 25, 2026 across Punjab.

Time is short. If you need a scribe to write your test, you can't just show up with one on exam morning. PSSSB requires eligible candidates to submit their requests alongside all prescribed annexures by October 15, 2026 (5:00 PM) via email. Miss that cutoff, and you won't get assistance.

Eligibility & Mandatory Annexures under PSSSB Group D Scribe Notice 2026

Under the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Government of India (F.No 34-02/2015-DD-III dated August 29, 2018), scribe permission is granted exclusively to eligible PwD candidates whose physical limitations impede writing ability.

To ensure your permission gets cleared, you must compile and scan the following paperwork listed in Annexure-C:

1. Application Proforma: The formal representation addressed to the Superintendent, PSSSB Mohali, containing your name, father's name, application number, mobile number, and scribe details.
2. Annexure-A Certificate: Official certificate verifying physical limitation in writing, signed and stamped by a Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Civil Surgeon, or Medical Superintendent of a government hospital. The signing authority must be a specialist in your specific disability stream (e.g., an Ophthalmologist for visual impairment or an Orthopaedic specialist for locomotor disability).
3. Disability Certificate: Valid certificate issued by the competent medical board.
4. Annexure-B Undertaking: A signed declaration stating that your scribe's educational qualification is not higher than your own qualification.
5. Scribe's Date of Birth Proof: Self-attested Matriculation (10th standard) certificate.
6. Scribe's Educational Proof: Certificate or mark sheet verifying the scribe's highest qualification.
7. Scribe's Government Photo ID: Self-attested copy of Aadhaar Card, PAN Card, or Driving Licence.
8. Candidate's Original Application Form: Copy of your filled PSSSB Group-D application form.

How to Submit Your PSSSB Group D Scribe Request

Follow these sequential steps to ensure your application reaches the examination wing without errors:

1. Download the Official Proforma: Open the PDF from the board's portal and print out Annexure-A, Annexure-B, and the request letter proforma.
2. Get Medical Endorsement: Visit your district government hospital or Civil Surgeon to get Annexure-A duly signed by the concerned specialist with official hospital seals.
3. Fill the Undertakings: Fill out Annexure-B and the request application cleanly, ensuring candidate and scribe details match your official IDs.
4. Scan Original Documents: Prepare clean, legible color scans of all 8 items mentioned in Annexure-C from their original copies.
5. Send via Official Email: Compose an email with the subject line Scribe Request - Group D Advt 04/2026 - Application No. [Your Number] and send all scanned files to scribe.sssb@gmail.com before October 15, 2026 (05:00 PM).

Don't send your email to any alternate inbox. The board explicitly stated that emails received at other addresses will be ignored.


Editorial Advice: Key Pitfalls to Avoid

Recruitment desks handle hundreds of last-minute scribe claims, and administrative rejections happen easily over clerical mistakes. Here's what you need to watch out for:

  • Don't wait for October 15 afternoon: Government mailbox filters often reject bulky attachment bundles or experience delivery delays. Scan your papers at 200–300 DPI, keep file sizes sensible, and send your email well before the 5:00 PM deadline.
  • Verify your scribe's qualification ceiling: This is a zero-tolerance clause. If your scribe holds higher qualifications than you, your candidature will be cancelled immediately. PSSSB has warned that both the candidate and the scribe will face legal action if false certificates are produced.
  • Keep the hard copies ready for exam day: Emailing the files is only half the battle. You must carry the original Annexure-B undertaking and present it in person to the Centre Superintendent on October 25, 2026. Keep the originals of Annexure-A and Annexure-C safe for subsequent counselling.
  • No physical visit is required: Save yourself the commute to Forest Complex, Sector-68, SAS Nagar. The board will not accept hand-delivered submissions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I arrange a scribe on the spot on exam day?

No, you cannot. Centre Superintendents have strict instructions to turn down unapproved scribe requests on exam morning.

Where should I send my scribe application?

All scanned documents must be emailed strictly to scribe.sssb@gmail.com on or before October 15, 2026 (5:00 PM).

What happens if my scribe has a higher qualification than mine?

Your request will be rejected, your exam candidature will be cancelled, and both you and your scribe could face legal prosecution under board regulations.

Who is authorized to sign Annexure-A?

A CMO, Civil Surgeon, or Medical Superintendent of a government health care institution—specifically a specialist belonging to your disability discipline—must sign Annexure-A.
