AOA,

I have a query relating to areas PAS/DMG officers are posted to.
I have read on the forum (and heard elsewhere as well) that PAS officers are required to server a minimum of 3 years outside home province.
Does this still hold true?

I wanted to ask what are the posting region criteria after the initial 3 years? How likely is one to be posted in home province after first 3 years? And is an officer's preference taken into account in this regard (legitimately, not through influence)?

Thanks.

Yes, after STP, they are posted out of province. Preferences are taken into account but depends on your merit also.
Girls are posted in their province.
After 3 and half years, you have the right to get posted in your province but not necessarily true for every1 as people serve upto 5/6 years outside province also. Even after returning to home province, one might be posted out of province again as its a Federal service.
In PAS, postings and your stay in home province/ at a station depends alot on your links, political connections and family background. Without it, its tough journey in PAS.

Thank you for your input nathanalgren
