GAIL (India) Limited, a Maharatna PSU, has invited online applications for one post of Chief General Manager (Law) in grade E-8, on a pay scale of Rs 1,20,000 to Rs 2,80,000. The vacancy is unreserved. Candidates must hold an LLB or integrated LLB with 50 per cent marks and a minimum 24 years of post-qualification executive experience, with at least 16 years in the legal function. The upper age limit is 52 years.

Indian nationals can apply from 1100 hrs on 3 November to 1800 hrs on 2 December 2026, through gailonline.com under Advt. No. GAIL/OPEN/LAW/2/2026. Selection will involve a group discussion and/or interview. Current employees of large private firms or law firms must have a minimum annual CTC of Rs 35 lakh as of the closing date. Experience through an empanelled agency or contractor is not counted.
The advertisement fills a single, top legal post at a Maharatna PSU, signalling a focused need rather than a mass hiring drive. The 24-year experience requirement and the strict 52-year age cap mean only senior professionals with an uninterrupted legal career are eligible. The detailed experience conditions, distinguishing law firm, government and PSU backgrounds, and counting only direct employment, create narrow application windows. The closing date of 2 December leaves just under a month for eligible candidates to prepare and apply online. Whether any candidate meets all the experience and qualification conditions will determine if the post is filled or re-advertised.
