A Few Queries About The Foreign Service Of Pakistan

I am aspirant of CSS and inshallah appear this year.I was greatly impressed by one of the member of this forum who advocated about the Foreign Service of Pakistan.But I need to know a few things so that I may give foreign service my top priority
(1) What is the basic pay scale of grade 17 officer in the Foreign Service?
(2) My respected senior said that an officer received more than 1 lac,I want to know that does he receive the same amount when he will be posted at the home?
Kindly reply me in detail I will be very thankful

pay scales of all groups are same
but income tax and customs ppl get double pay
unless a foreign service guy is appointed abraod , he also gets same salray as others
if posted abroad he may get handsoem ammount but no surity

Hi,
Can anyone tell me that what number of students from the list starting from top are considered to be applicable for Foreign Services. Some one told me that I have to be within the top 50 students in the pass list to be in Foreign Services. Is it like this????

@ Armaghan
it is an addition to what kashif has said.Every FSP personnel does nt get a foreign posting.Sometimes it may take 10-15 years to get a foreign posting.
Meanwhile they get Normal pay scale salary.in foreign postings it is about Rs. 90,000 on BPS 17/18 and 1,50,000 on 19. Free accommodation with free education for offspring and protocol off course.But at home it is more of a clerical job.
A comparison between FSP and C&T may be drawn in this regard.C&T personnels have brighter chances fr foreign postings than FSP personnels as they can take exam as soon as they are promoted to 18th grade-that takes almost 2 yrs- for the posting of commercial counsilor. Once appointed as commercial councilor may be paid $4500-7000 keeping in view ur grade, i.e., 18,19,20.

@Mystichina
it all depends upon the seats offered by the govt.But normally one can be hopeful to get posted to FSP if one stands among top 50.

Dear Friends,

Before asking any question I would like to say salaams to all here. As I am new here hoping to get sound response from all of you.
Dear buddies I would like to about the ranking of groups, which groups be placed at 1st Number and which one at last. Besides, I like to know how much efforts are required to reach at 1st number ranked group. Hope, some positive & quick response will be at my door.

Regards,

@zeeshanqureshi

Position of a group keeps on changing with time. These days the position of groups is as under.

1. Police service Pakistan
2. DMG
3. Customs and excise
4. Foreign service of Pakistan
5. Income Tax
6. Audits and Accounts.

There are others as well but i am not sure of there position.
Regarding the effort thing...Brother if you want to get youself placed in the top groups then obviously you will have to be well placed , i mean position wise.
It also depends on the number of seats allocated to each group by the establishment division.Last year even a candidate from punjab managed to secure a slot in Police having 46th position( may be 44th).
