Please comment on:
- Commerce and Trade group: from what I heard, you are only posted in the larger cities, interaction with key business people (as compared to general public - no offense meant), good scholarship/foreign study opportunities, foreign tours, posting as commercial/trade counsellor in other countries. Why is it being kept so low in earlier poster's preferences?

- Please also comment on MLCG. What are the future professional development opportunities, any scholarships, etc., or is it a field that allows you to become stagnant? I know one can become stagnant in any field if they choose, but in your valued opinion, where does it stand? How do the military personnel look upon a civilian in MLCG?

Thank you!
The promotion in CTG is too low, one retires max in BPS-20 after 30 years of service in CTG, interaction is with business men but what powers a CTG officer has to entertain those business men? I think IRS and PCS can benefit those business men far more than CTG. Scholarships are obtained by all groups but maximum are for DMG coz they are the "National Administrative Service" as a matter of fact ex-Chief Secretary Punjab, Mr Kmaran Rasool,DMG is getting a salary of 12 lac a month from a private bank in lhr, no other service can match this when a person is even retired. PSP/DMG officers can start their careers as lawyers and some of them doing so very successfully but this isnt the case with most of the other groups.

Moreover about the Commercial Attache' posting, as a fact around 70% of current commercial attaches' are from DMG, the reason is one has to undergo a course from LUMS and then a panel of LUMS select and recommends the persons to be posted as Commercial Attache. CTG officers have a writ in SC against this and they are asking for the right in Commercial Attache postings but lets see what come out of that.

Therefore above mentioned are the reasons for CTG being too low in merit
