AoA
Are the govt employees having 2 year experience to their credit recruited on adhoc basis on yearly basis with renewal after every year without gap eligible to claim age relaxation ? If yes what authority do u have for that or reference as the rule does not cover adhoc employees and the same is reproduced as reference plz.

(f) In Service Government Servants, Armed Forces Personnel, Contract Employees, including the Government servants of AJ&K, who possess a minimum of two years continuous Government service as on 31st December, 2017, subject to submission of Departmental Permission Certificate (Annex-E) from the competent authority. Employees of Nationalised Banks, State Bank of Pakistan, WAPDA, Regulatory Authorities, Autonomous bodies and other semiautonomous bodies are not entitled to age relaxation.


Best regards

WoA,

I'm no authority nor do I have any such reference with regard to adhoc arrangement issue you raised. I merely refer rules and try to explain them in as simple manner as possible.

First, there is mention of contract employees but there is no mention of adhoc basis[which may or may not materialize into contract basis], so my understanding is adhoc service will not be taken into account for age relaxation claim.

For authentic guidance regarding the issue I suggest contacting FPSC.



JazakAllah
