CGDA Order: Replacement of iGOT Mandatory Courses for APAR Cycle 2026-27

Issued by: Office of the Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA), Ministry of Defence
Date: September 29, 2026
Document No.: TD/3498/iGoT/2.0/2026-27

The Office of the Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA), Ministry of Defence, issued a circular on September 29, 2026. This document outlines modifications to the mandatory iGOT Karmayogi courses for the APAR Cycle 2026-27.

Due to technical issues, three specific courses for JTS, STS, JAG, and NFSG levels have been replaced.

Key Highlights

  • The circular was issued by the CGDA Training Division under document number TD/3498/iGoT/2.0/2026-27.
  • It replaces three out of the six original mandatory iGOT courses required for comprehensive assessment.
  • The changes specifically affect officials at the JTS & STS and JAG & NFSG levels within the Defence Accounts Department.
  • The Competent Authority has officially approved these replacements.

Main Details & Background

This circular refers to a previous communication dated September 1, 2026, which circulated six mandatory iGOT Karmayogi courses for IDAS Officers and officials as annual targets for the 2026-27 APAR cycle.

However, three of these courses—one earmarked for JTS & STS and two for JAG & NFSG levels—were experiencing technical issues. To resolve this, new courses have been substituted to allow officers to fulfill their APAR mandatory requirements.
