There is no direct recruitment process for getting job in tax department. There is a application process and few eligibility requirements which are mentioned below.

There are few entrance exams conducted for recruiting candidates into Indian Revenue Service (Income Tax). Some them are CSE (Civil Service Exam), UPSC exams. Based on the performance in these exam you can get job in Tax department.

Eligibility required:
- The candidate should have done their graduation with a fair percentage from any recognised university.
- The candidate age should be between 21 - 30 years. There is age relaxation based on the government rules.
- There are 4 attempts to clear the exam for general candidates, 7 attempts for OBC and no limit of attempts for SC/ ST candidates.

You need to apply, attend and qualify in the entrance exam. The notifications will be released every year. After releasing the notification you need to apply through online or offline and fill the application form and submit it to the mentioned address. After clearing the exam you need to attend for the personal interview. If you clear that round then you'll recruited in the tax department.

For recruitment in tax department you firstly need to complete your CA final examination (if not passed) and then fill form of eligibility in various state level or central level government job in tax like (SSC, IT, BANK, Insurance ) where you need to clear written exam and interview level . In private sector you can get recruitment only on interview basis in various firm.

There is no direct recruitment in Income Tax and other tax department for Chartered Accountant candidates. CA final stage passed candidates are considered as equivalent to bachelor's degree.

For joining Income tax department, you should apply for Civil Services exam to join Indian Revenue Services or SSC CGL exam for Income tax inspector.

The age limit for Civil Services exam is 21-32 years and that for SSC CGL exam is 18-27 years.
