Checked on 16 October 2026. The Uttar Pradesh Police Recruitment and Promotion Board (UPPRPB) publishes recruitment-specific instructions on its official website. In the official 2025 notice for Sub Inspector (Confidential), Assistant Sub Inspector (Clerk) and Assistant Sub Inspector (Accounts), candidates are instructed to complete OTR before filling the recruitment application. Do not assume that every UP Police post follows identical steps: check the notice for the post you want.

- Official recruitment notice containing OTR and application instructions for the named SI/ASI recruitment
What to check before registering
Open the relevant recruitment notice first. For the specific SI/ASI recruitment cited above, the notice states that a unique email ID and mobile number are required for OTR and describes DigiLocker verification. It also warns that the email/mobile used in that OTR process cannot be changed. These details are tied to that notice; if a newer advertisement publishes a changed procedure, follow the newer official instructions.
Safe application workflow
- Visit the UPPRPB official website and open the latest notice for your target post.
- Use the application link supplied by that notice; do not rely on a search advertisement or a social-media redirect.
- If the notice requires OTR, register using your own working email/mobile and complete the identity or DigiLocker checks requested on the official portal.
- Check every detail against your documents before finalising the profile. Keep the login information private.
- After OTR, return to the particular recruitment form, enter the required application details and submit the form, documents and fee (if applicable) by the notice deadline.
- Save the final application/receipt and revisit the official notice page for extensions, exam dates, admit cards or results.
Important cautions
- OTR does not itself mean that you have applied for a post.
- Age limits, qualification, physical standards, fees and selection stages are recruitment-specific. Do not use details from one post to decide eligibility for another.
- Do not assume that a date, fee or link in an old article remains current; reopen the latest official notice each time.
- Never pay an intermediary for a guaranteed job or share an OTP/password with someone claiming to be a recruitment official.
