ISLAMABAD: Tens of thousands of positions remain vacant in the federal government, it has been learnt, as around 57,866 posts have yet to be filled in ministries, autonomous and semi-autonomous bodies, divisions and multiple authorities.
Senior officials in the establishment division — the main body dealing with posts under the federal government’s jurisdiction — said it took 15 months to identify the vacant positions.
Overall, there are 497,846 positions within the federal government, ranging from BPS 1 to BPA 22. The government banned recruitments on June 20 last year and this was listed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government a month ago. All government departments were directed to provide details of vacant posts to the management services wing of the Establishment Division.
Officials said all departments will advertise these posts after getting funds from the Finance Division.
