# Odisha State Bar Council seeks one assistant secretary at ₹50,000 monthly 2026-08-21T04:00:40+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Odisha State Bar Council has invited applications for one post of Assistant Secretary on a contractual basis at a consolidated salary of Rs 50,000 per month. Candidates must be aged 35 to 40 years, hold a law degree, and have at least five years of practice as an advocate. Applicants must also be able to speak and read Odia and have passed the M.E. school examination in Odia as a language subject. Interested candidates should submit their applications in the prescribed format to the council's office at High Court Annex, Cuttack-753002, on or before 22 August 2026. The notification does not specify the tenure of the contract or whether extensions are possible. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Odisha State Bar Council's ₹50,000 monthly salary for an assistant secretary is about 2.75 times the minimum pay for a first-class state government officer (₹18,000 basic). With only one post and a 35-40 age window, the council likely seeks an experienced advocate willing to work on contract without government pension benefits. The council is the regulatory body for all lawyers in Odisha, so the assistant secretary will handle disciplinary matters and administrative appeals. Watch for whether any candidate files a complaint about the lack of permanency or pension, which could delay the appointment beyond the 22 August deadline. ## Coverage - livelaw.in Straight vacancy notice without any slant, omission, or advocacy.
