    I joined punjab law Deptt. in Nov. 1986 as Stenographer in bps 12 and I got selection grade bps 15 in Oct, 1994 since then I remain in the same scale in spite of promotion channel to the post of superintendent, which is very rate chance till my retirement due in Jan, 2024.. Now Punjab Govt. announced on 26.07.2017 two step time scale for bps 11-15. Plz. tell me that am I admissibe for announced time scale promotion?

  2. The word of sorry is very much lesser to Rao sahib. Stenographers are still under the Office Assistants inspite of your efforts. Great loss to the selection grade holder is still ambiguous. Selection Grade stenographers are not upgraded even they have promotion prospectus channel and at par with the Stenographers who were in BPS-15 at that time selection grade also draw the same salary like SSS. Naseem Nadeem case is example which has not been considered and thrown in the dust bin. Time Scale notification is not clear. Still unrest between the stenographers selection grade holders community

      yes…when assistant was in BS-11 then stenographer was in BS-12,, they were upgraded in BS-14 and stenographer was ignored and after a great struggle steno was upgraded in BS-14. Now once again clerks and assistants were upgraded on 01-01-2016 but stenographers ignored again. This is our right and request that stenographers may be upgraded in BS-16 and Senior Stenographer in BS-17 and w.e.f 01-01-2016.

  9. Dear Rana Tariq & Hafiz Javed Usman Esqrs.

    The request made to Chief Minister, Punjab regarding inclusion of Private Secretaries BS-17 in the main stream of promotion like other officers of BS-17 going to have been promoted in BS-18 as Deputy Directors is quite genuine. Therefore, honorable CM, Punjab who is competent to amend the rules, is requested to pass appropriate orders for adjustment of the Private Secretaries in the manner that they are also eligible for further promotion as Deputy Directors in BS-18.

    The request of Rana Tariq Mehmood is quite in order and needs sympathetic consideration by the Honorable Chief Minister, Punjab. It is to clarify that after upgradation of the post of Private Secretary in BS-17, no change has been made in the “Method of Promotion”. Therefore, the Private Secretaries BS-17 may be included in the main stream of promotion in general cadre like other officers of BS-17 going to promote in BS-18 as Deputy Directors.

  11. Respected Chief Minister, Punjab,

    Sir,

    It is respectfully submitted that on direction of the orders of August Supreme Court of Pakistan, the post of Stenographer, Personal Assistant and Private Secretary have been upgraded from BS-12 to BS-14, BS-15 to BS-16 and BS-16 to BS-17 respectively. After upgradation of the post, there have become necessity to change the “Existing Method of Promotion” so that the newly upgraded incumbents could be included in main stream for further promotion like other officials/officials being promoted to the next higher pay scales if they fulfill all the per-requisite conditions.
    Prior to upgradation, the post of Private Secretary was lying in BS-16 and the incumbents were promoted in BS-17 after putting 05 years service. On upgradation of the post of Private Secretary in BS-17, promotion to BS-17 has become meaningless because promotion is uplifting of any officer/official into next higher pay scale. In the instant matter, no promotion is being made but only nomenclature is being changed which is, no doubt, unacceptable and prima facie against the rules/procedure.

    sir, request is, therefore, made to kindly direct the concerned formations to change the “Existing method of Promotion” and make some necessary amendments by including Private Secretary BS-17 in main stream among those officers who are being promoted or likely to promote as Deputy Directors in BS-18. This change will enable the Private Secretaries to have been dealt-with at par with other offices working in BS-17 and going to promote in BS-18 as Deputy Directors. With Regards……….. Rana Tariq Mehmood, Private Secretary BS-17, Multan Development Authority, Multan Cell: 0300-6385835

  15. I think all my friends would agree with the fact that at one hand the ministerial/clerical posts; viz. Junior Clerks, Senior Clerks, Assistants & Superintendents have proper channel of promotion and on the other hand these categories of posts have been extended the benefit of upgradation too.
    The Steno entered into service in BPS-12 and at that time the Assistants were in BPS-11 and Senior Clerks in BPS-07. Now just merely due to upgradation the Assistants have reached to BPS-16 and the Senior Clerks reached to BPS-14 whereas the promotion cases are seperate. But the Stenos are still in BPS-14 in most of the Departments due to ex-cadre posts or non-availability of promotion. This is clear un-justice. We request the authorities concerned to please consider this fact and the Stenotypists & Stenographers may also be further upgraded atleast at par with Superintendents.

  19. federal Govt: Provincial Govt: that they have up graded the All category of posts but ignored the stenos which entirely a un justice however the stenos are the back bone of any office or department but they are treating stenos as achooth very regretted and shameless act by the APCA that they have not been included the stenos for up gradation in the charter of demands particularly APCA AUTHORITY BALUCHISTAN they are patch uped the matter with the Provincial Government considered the all categories except the Computer Operator and Stenos, I think they have obtained few personal benefits from Govt; of Balochistan and mere considered the clerks nor the stenos and computer Operators for up gradation so we appeal to the federal Govt: and Provincial Govt: to up grade the stenos from B-14 to B-16 and after completion of 3-years service the stenos should be given time scale B-17 as well as the computer operators they are in B-12 and required should be up graded in B-15 after completion of 3-years service should be given time scale in B-16. It is not understanding that why they have ignored the stenos and computer operators for up gradation how ever they are the key posts of the all department and the strength of the said are also less then the other category of post on up gradation of the stenos and C.Oper: I think no burden faced in the budget, stenos and C.Operators are dispose off the all category of posts i.e. accounts works in computer drafting keeping the record on proper way but not in view for up gradation in higher grades. it is a shameless act by the APCA and Governments.

  24. It is suicidal attack on the Stenographers which are always ignored. A assist and and head clerk upgraded from BS-11 to 16 but Stenographer is still there in BS-14. This kind of act torture the feeling of S.G’s. In fact poor stenographers deprived their deserving rights.There is no justice in our country. That is why the floods and earthquakes are coming here.

    I request to higher authorities to look at the case of up gradation of stenographers.

    it is came to my knowledge that you got returned back the summary of stenos earlier in 2011 and succeeded with the help of a Minister to exclude the stenographers who were in receipt of BS-15 (Selection Grade). Is it true? if it is true then shame for you.

    Dear Rao Sahib, Aslam-o-Alakum, We are heartedly glad to see your inputs you have put and are putting for betterment of our community. This is,of course, admiring on your part but necessity is that; the issue be mobilized fastly and its rhythm be maintained in due legal manner. No doubt, you are doing best but it is too reality that desired speed is not given to the issue. The Government of Punjab particularly Shahbaz Sharif is a powerful CM and he can do what he wants to. Therefore, it is to say that a clear cut precedent of upgradtion of clerical staff be quoted every where because our simple Steno was being recruited in BS-12 when Office Assistant/Head Clerk was resting in BS-11. Hence, accurate upgradation is that; our simple Steno is entitled for BS-17 instead of BS-14 even BS-16. As far as PA relates, it be placed in BS-17 rather BS-18. Kindly pursue the matter in Finance Department in the capacity of President of the Province. It will be supported by the Almighty, Inshallah.

    Dear Rao Sahib, No update about Finance Department, Punjab has yet been reflected on the web. All the respected Stenographers/Personal Assistants and Private Secretaries are worried about Luke-warm action of the Fin Deptt. In the capacity of President, you are fully empowered to activate your inputs either it may relate to Finance Deptt or whatever you deem suitable. However, it is settled that; we will succeed to have nothing until and unless we may work hard particularly in pursuing the matter. I, therefore, request to kindly continue updating the progress as well. It is too remember able that other Government except Shahbaz Sharif will not consideration such cases. It is only PML (N) who has the courage to implement its decisions, forthwith.

    You remember that I met you in your office and informed you that I am working stenographer Selection Grade BS-15 since 1994. neither any grade has been granted to Selection Gradees till to date. You encouraged me that you will be granted BS-17 instead of BS-16. It is correct that you made best efforts but still I am unaware about the struggles you made.

    Dear Rao Muhammad Akram, You have played really central character which ever shall be remembered by all the community but the issue is that; no update has yet been reflected by any of my respected fellows either they work in Lahore or whatever. Anyway, I request to President Rao Sahib and also to the others who are working in the Civil Secretariat, Lahore to kindly convey the latest news immediately so that all of us could know the factual position of the issue. The actual liability is that; our simple Steno should be placed one step up as compared to Office Assistant/Head Clerk as it was in the year 2007. Meaning thereby that a simple Stenographer should be recruited/upgraded in BS-17 as it is evident from available data. As far as PA and PS are concerned, they may also be upgraded in 18 and 19. Dear Rao Sahib jub tk bcha rota nhi ha uske apni mother b usko doodh nhi deti aor yahan to ganga he ulti behti ha. mgr ake bat ha agr Shahbaz Sharif sahib ka mood hua to Grade-20 b mil sakta ha. Therefore, it is very important to pursue the case in Finance Department for onward submission of summary as desired/ordered by the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Punjab. Kindly carry-on updating the progress. Thanks.

    1. I am surprised how the government has been gracious to grant the clerks badshahs such huge jumps in the grades irrespective of their job spectrum and duties and so on….I think they have just done on the pattern of KPK and to earn political scores. But my question is that why there is no rational and logical evaluation of other grades who are serving day and night. One office assistant (supervisor) was in BPS-11, one grade below to stenographer-BPS-12 but look at the logic of government. One who weeps is fed with milk and other is bound to starve.
      My request to government of the Punjab is to logicaly improve the grades of stenographers as well, please.
