PESHAWAR: The <\/span>Khyber Pakhtunkhwa <\/span>Government<\/span> formally<\/span> launched<\/span> a comprehensive\u00a0age relaxation policy<\/a> for <\/span>applicants<\/span> who<\/span> want <\/span>to begin their<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>professional <\/span>career in the public sector.<\/p>\n

The Chief Secretary <\/span>pointed<\/span> out <\/span>in the notification that <\/span>under <\/span>the new policy<\/span>,<\/span> a general age relaxation of a <\/span>maximum<\/span> of\u00a010 years for various groups<\/span>\u00a0of <\/span>government <\/span>posts<\/span> is allowed<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>As<\/span> per<\/span> the <\/span>new<\/span> Khyber Pakhtunkhwa age relaxation policy, applicants seeking<\/span>\u00a0Grade 17 and above <\/span>vacancies<\/span> are <\/span>entitled<\/span> to<\/span> a 10-year upper age <\/span>concession<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Similarly<\/span>, Secretariat <\/span>vacancies<\/span> of Grade 16 and below will also be entitled<\/span>\u00a0to <\/span>the same concession. For <\/span>the <\/span>non-Secretariat <\/span>vacancies<\/span>, the <\/span>Administrative<\/span> Secretary<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> concerned<\/span> departmental<\/span> heads<\/span> would<\/span> be empowered\u00a0to<\/span> grant<\/span> relaxation<\/span> in<\/span> age<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa age relaxation policy also <\/span>has<\/span> special terms for<\/span>\u00a0the <\/span>dependents<\/span> of government <\/span>workers<\/span> martyred in <\/span>terrorist <\/span>acts<\/span>. <\/span>Their<\/span> widows and children <\/span>will <\/span>have<\/span> further<\/span> consideration under the new <\/span>regulation<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The<\/span> new<\/span> Khyber Pakhtunkhwa age relaxation policy comes <\/span>with<\/span> a major amendment<\/span>\u00a0to the Civil Servants Rules 2008, <\/span>which<\/span> is<\/span> indicative<\/span> of<\/span> the inclusive\u00a0employment practices<\/span> within the provincial government<\/span>.<\/p>\n

It <\/span>comes<\/span> after <\/span>a similar <\/span>step<\/span> by the Sindh government earlier this year that<\/span>\u00a0raised<\/span> the age limit for public sector jobs from 28 to 33 years, although that policy <\/span>did<\/span> not<\/span> include jobs <\/span>in the Sindh Police and Public Service Commission.<\/p>\n

In a <\/span>separate<\/span> development, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Public Service Commission (KPPSC) also <\/span>implemented<\/span> a one-time age limit extension for the Provincial Management Service (PMS) <\/span>examination<\/span>.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Aspirants<\/span> are<\/span> now <\/span>eligible to <\/span>apply <\/span>until<\/span> the age of 35 and are <\/span>given<\/span> one more\u00a0chance<\/span>, <\/span>bringing<\/span> the total to four for the 2025 and 2026 <\/span>cycles.<\/p>\n

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa age relaxation <\/span>scheme<\/span> is <\/span>expected<\/span> to benefit <\/span>many<\/span> aspiring civil servants <\/span>throughout<\/span> the province, <\/span>giving<\/span> them a <\/span>fresh<\/span> chance<\/span> to <\/span>work<\/span> within<\/span> the <\/span>government<\/span> sector. This will also <\/span>enable<\/span> individuals<\/span> to<\/span> secure <\/span>stable government <\/span>employment<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
