Govt abolishes job quota for families of deceased civil servants

Significant modifications have been made to the Civil Servant Rules by the Punjab Government.

Removing Rule 17A from the 1974 Civil Servant Rules is among the most significant changes.

Formerly, Rule 17A permitted government employment under the service quota to be awarded to the surviving spouse or children of a public servant who died while serving.

Moreover, family members of government officials who have passed away will no longer be qualified for these employment benefits following the repeal of this provision.

This is a major policy change that will impact many families who lost a loved one in government service and had previously depended on this provision for job stability.
