I am working as Senior Veterinary Officer in Livestock Department, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I have applied for PhD allowance to the District Accounts Officer of my concerned District. The District Accounts Officer asked me to get sanction from the Secretary of my Department. I would like to know that whether sanction is needed from Secretary after clear notifications by Federal Ministry as well as the Provincial Finance Department where such sanction from Secretary has not been mentioned in these notifications. Kindly advised me as i have not yet received this allowance.

Dear Dr. Muhammad Saleem according to my knowledge you have to get the proper sanction to get the Ph.D Allowance.

Dear CHHIEMI you are not eligible for this allowance.
AOA.
It means that this allowance will not be applicable to all F.G employees working in BS-17. and this is only applicable for Ph.D degree holders.
You are right dear Naveed.
Mam,
its mean the SPECIAL SCIENCE &TECHNOLOGY ALLOWANCE is admissible to those who are PhD Degree holders, its not for masters Degree Holders,
You are right Dear Shazaib.
I think after the clarity with the old letters and different s references of finance deptt that this allowance will be eligible on teachers who are PHD holder in above mentioned (annexure-l) list.
