UPSC has uploaded DAF (Detailed application form) for the Civil service Mains-2014.
http://upscdaf.nic.in/DAF/daf_csm_2014/
New development: You can’t change Optional-Subject, exam-Centre,, Indian Language paper (Paper-A) and Answer Medium. You’ll have to stick to whatever you choices made in the prelims application form. (Ref: Instruction PDF file, page no. 3.)
- Last date is 11th November. MAKE NO HASTE in filling this form. Thoroughly read the PDF files uploaded on that page.
- Questions-queries post in comments. I request senior players to help others filling up the DAF-form.
- PS: You can read medical standards in the Gazette PDF file, page no. 213 Appendix III.

WHAT IS AGE CERTIFICATE? ANY NEW CERTIFICATE ?
thanx sandeep…even i dnt want to leave dis opp bt at the same tme nt want to foreclose my future chances…ll call them, dis seems to be the only way ahead…
@lord dufferin:hm..i thnk i need to beg pardon..:p… I got to knw tht, if i submit my daf wid the old certificate, they ll allow me to sit n ll ask to furnish new one later on..just tell me if they gonna disqualify me frm future attempts as a general candidate,if nt submit the new one dis tme.
I am on probation and it would be permanent employment once I complete 1 year in job i.e. in july … so what shall i write in my service as temporary or permanent?
Permanent. Probation does not imply that the post is temporary. You’ll be on probation even when you join civil services. But the job is permanent ;-)
hello folks for service preference and state cadre i gave it is 1,2,3.. and not 01,02,03…..am i toast?? feeling very worried….it took it in though….kindly dispel all doubts and fears…what have i done!
Not a problem.. Did the same last year..
There were no objections for that..
Is it necessary to send the DAF without folding, in a A4 size envelope?? Or can we send in a normal letter envelope?
I didnt find anything in notification as such. But send it without folding. I think it was mentioned last year(not sure) but we’ve sent in A4 envelope last year..
Sir I’m a VI candidate in pre form I marked that I need scribe for mains but I don’t want scribe in mains in daf I’m unable to alter the option for scribe so can it be change or else I have to stick with that same option.
kindly suggest me how 2 fill obc annexure?is it necessary 2 get attested by gazetted officer or self certification will work?
In the coloumn of ” other exams/recruitment through upsc”
If i had cleared mains earlier is it to be mentioned!
Pls reply
Hi , does any one have undertaking format to be submitted by govt employee (not armed forces )? And secondly wt date should be put in working till column ?
I am working in a PSU but they don’t have any format. I submitted an application on a plain paper that “Undersigned is appearing for UPSC Civil Services exam….This is for necessary action at your end”. Keep a copy of the application. Submit it to the Personnel Division.
Attach the photocopy of the Civil service notification where the clause for govt. employee is mentioned. No need to attach any other doc related to exam.
When you get PI call, submit a fresh application asking for NOC, attach above application + PI call letter/email etc.
However, some PSUs like BHEL etc. are very strict in such cases. They have some sort of format. You need to ask your personnel division discreetly.
can we get reply from upsc after online submission of daf or we get it after submitting printout
Once your DAF reach UPSC office they’ll confirm u on email..
ok..
thank u :)

Anyone from the PH category …please reply urgently :
UPSC have askedfor new PH format application.
The problem is in 2012, I submitted hindi certificate issued by the district medical board. UPSC send me a letter asking in the format then applicable. The board literally refused to issue the same. Somehow, I begged (practically) , then a issued a new certificate.
Now, this year also, they again changed the format. If I again approach the board, I am afraid, they’ll not entertain my request. They are very rude. They say that, “You come every year to get new certificate. This is valid for 5 years. We can’t issue new one every time.”
What am I suppose to do ?
I am feeling very harassed & tormented by such government tactics.
Hi guys,
UPSC is asking for attested/certified copies of certificates. Does it mean I have to attest it from some officer? or self-attestation will be sufficient?
Please advice. I am filling this for 1st time.
self-attestation is fine
Can any of you guys shed any light regarding “medium of Interview”- in the DAF form ? I am reasonably comfortable in English or Hindi but naturally more fluent in my mother tongue Bengali. Shall I go for it or it will better to stick with English ?
PLZZZ HELP …..
Hi! can someone please tell about IRPS and pondicherry civil services? If people are not interested in revenue and accounts like IRS, IAAS, can we go for these two services? How often are people transferred in group ‘A’ services?
Plz inform about locations of DANICS postings too
Please help/advice on filling Annexure. Last two points are too confusing.
14. Details of wealth held by parents
What is exactly expected here? details of all the cash, jewellery, property held by my parents?
15. Whether documentary proof in support of service/status/land
holding/income from different sources/property held by
parents have been attached?”
If I am not attaching any other documents other than income tax returns of Father. Do I need to say ‘NO’ here?
Thanks!
where do we need to fill these detail . ididnt get those fields while i was going thru my preview of daf
Do we really need to attach the annexure??? I havent found this column anywhere
to sign or not to sign on the summary sheet?? coz there is space for that.
Haven’t you read the Instructions PDF ?
It clearly says, in bold, that you are NOT supposed to sign on the Summary sheet.
i accidentally signed on the summary sheet also and have sent the same. wht should i do now??
I did the same thing, plse let me know if I can correct the mistake.
I too did the same thing :(.
What is to be donw now? Please advise.
there is no space for sign in summary sheet. summary sheet it just last 2 pages

Kindly advice asap.
Hey . Have your problem has been resolved. And what about the form 1 for ph. I have he ame query.
yes..I have orthopedic disability filled the form 4 and got is signed by the Orthopedic doctor and head of a government hospital.
just leave the Disability column blank to be filled by the doctor.
Yu need to get certificate as per format prescribed by Upsc so they won’t accept…anyways u will get a letter to ur home to submit or candidature will be cancelled subjectively and asks u to submit again
Please Help,
I left the Column No.1 blank ie Total Value and other two. I am exempted from fee sumission so Total Value column was blank in my application form.
I think I should have filled the blank with zero.
Can this lead to form cancellation.
Thanks,

how to fill state preferences in daf…. if a person wish to fill all states then the no reaches from 1 to 56….am i right?
When did we get 56 states .. till today it was only 29 .. :P .. man give preference 1, 2, … for IAS and same 1,2,…. for IPS
In the last field of “final submission”, do we have to specify the number of stamps attached too (number of stamps can be different, according to their denomination ), or just write the prescribed fees of 200 rupees?????
Hi All,
We shifted our house after Prelims. Now can I give new address in DAF ? Do I need to inform UPSC about it or submitting in DAF would suffice ? Please reply.
Thanks,
Pavan.
i think there’s no need for it.. just fill ur new address in DAF
thank you
