Initial appointment of CTG officers
 

@ Deputy Commissioner

CTG officers are appointed in various capacities in varios departments. if posted in M/o Commerce they are designated as Section Officers, when posted in Trade Development Authority or National Trarrif Commission or FTIP they are posted as Assistant Director. They are also posted as Commercial Councilors in Pakistan Missions Abroad.

@ Mercury

CTG is a comparatively peaceful group and the nature of duties are more of scholistic nature as compared to other groups. My view point (U may disagree) is that it is far better for ladies and specially the married ones than PAAS, IG and OMG. You can remain posted in Islamabad for whole of your career if U desire (in M/o Commerce/NTC). As regards spouses they are usually not allowed on foreign tours, as regards foreing posting I am not sure abt that. Some seniors may advice

:happy: thank u for this useful info,,,plz come up with more such info if any,,,,coz we are really keen to know about our group and its fields

@ Deputy Commisioner and Mercury

Commerce and trade officers in BPS17 have been getting postings of their choice being the numbers of officers allocated very short. They can join pakistan Trade and development institution in research faculty, This way they get special resarch allowance.

The larger part of officers join TDAP, though most of them take deputation to other offices yet once they has to land into TDAP or any other deptt. of Ministry of Commerce.

as for perks n privileges, it is relevant to the station of posting. BPS 17 Postings in capital cities , i.e. , Islamabad, Lahore, Quetta, Peshawer and karachi do not translate the excited dreams of the young officers in terms of residence n vehicle,though they can requisit a house n enjoy transport allowance and it is pertinent to almost every deptt. The bigger the station is, the lesser facilities from govt. side because of the big guns' presence at the same stations.

Yet stations like Faisalabad, kohat r the stations where u may be better facilitated.

Now specific to Mercury's queries:

The spouse can be taken along on foreign postings as well as sponsored foreign studies.

In case, the spouse is in private job or a non-civil servant, no relaxations or accommodations r guaranteed, rest is upto the individual how good he/she is in making a way through bureaucratic hurdles.
Lastly as mentioned by Kami khan above, one can keep posted at the same station for the maximam period of service if he/she desires so.

@ Frozen
Just review ur last post, in reply to Kami khan's courtesy of replying ur query... n i hope u will find the FACE u made there, doesnt appear decent, n I hope it doesnt even match urs.

Regards.

with apologies.....sir it was'nt to offend any 1,,,actually i selected a happy smilie from the drop down box,,,may be its face is not that happy as i expected it to be,,,:) anyways thank u for the grt info....i made this one by colon and bracket

@Kami khan

after the revival of OMG...now i dont think tht CTG officers would be posted as section officers in ministries... as OMGians are specialist for the post of section officers...so i think tht this time section officers in all ministries will be from OMG...or from the those recently promoted to BS 17 ( junior staff ) of secretariat...
