Rizwan Sb,

This is good that PAAS officer came as CS and other posts but the facts regarding APUG is that APUG consists of (DMG,PSP,and Secretariat Group). The OMG officers uptill grade 20 are in APUG but later on in grade 21 every one moves into Secretariat group even PSP,DMG, and all. So by virtue of grade 21 PAAS officers were posted on APUG posts but this is with all cadres and anybody getting promotion in 21 moves inot secretariat group.

To clarify please consider the following

There are no systematic policies or mechanisms for placements and transfers. In
many cases, the process of placements/transfers lacks professional and technical
basis, leading to a mismatch between skills and placement. An important issue in the
context of placements is the de facto reservation of certain posts for officers from
the All Pakistan Unified Group (APUG) (i.e. DMG, Police and the Secretariat Groups).
The distribution of working positions in BS-17 to BS-22, in terms of the total number
of civil servants belonging to the Federal Unified Grade (FUG) and the APUG is
significantly in favour of the APUG.

If you want i can also post reference from ESTACODE.

Now this is not to contest your opinion but since fellow commoners from other groups must also know that upon their promotion to grade 21,they all are in APUG by virtue of joining secretariat group otherwise in lower grades only PSP and DMG are in APUG.
