Comments
I want to ask about qualification required for this post, as only mentioned Degree from a recognized University.
Applicant must be graduate in any discipline.
I think these posts are not in Civil Secretariat so Special allowance and Secretariat allowance will not be admissible
Dear Imran Habib, I believe all employees, belong to any other department but working in Civil Secretariat Lahore, are eligible to get this allowance.
Still for Exam Roll No. Slip
PPSC is conducting its written exam on 26.04.2019
I just want to clear one thing that if the selected candidates will serve in lahore head office then they might be admissible to the incentives mentioned above but if they will be posted in district offices then what will be the salary
Because the aformentioned allowances are admissible to only those who are drawing there salaries from secreteriat payroll
If an employee is posted at anywhere out of Secretariat, Lahore his salary will not include Secretariat Allowance.
