CSS Forums - 7 important questions of mine related to PMS?

[quote]Is there any surety bond in PMS or not? If yes then of how much duration and what amount?[/quote]

As for as i know there is no bond requirments.One thing i am sure about is that a PMS Officer if join CSS is not required to pay any thing in terms of bond etc.

[Quote]Are PMS batch people imparted training (like CSA) or not? If yes then of how much duration and of what type?[/quote]

PMS officers undergo 32 weeks training at Management and Professional Dvelopment Department. Besides, first two officers from batch first were awarded scholership to complete MPA from National University of Singapore.

[quote]Moreover, if there is any bond in PMS and one clears CSS in due course of time, then what is the fate of that very bond? Do we need to pay it or it can be adjusted in CSS? [/quote]

[quote]Whats the TAKE HOME PAY of a PMS Officer, both in training (if any) as well as once posted. I believe he is hired in BS-17. Please quote in quantitative figures as I dont know what is the pay of a BS-17 officer [/quote]

Basic salary of a fresh BPS 17 Officer is around 10000.Allowances varies from Department to Department.For example , PMS officers posted as Special Judicial Megisterate get Judicial Allownce that is a very hand some amount.

[quote]Does a PMS Officer enjoys benefits like a CSS officer or somewhat in a bit lesser degree (e.g. a CSP officer can have car, house, authority etc.)?[/quote]

Even all CSPs dont get Car ,house etc during initial days of their career.As for as PMS Officers are concerned , it depends upon their posting.Those posted as SOs do not get vehcle or house.However , those holding the positions like DDO(R), DDO(C), DDO(Reg),DMO etc are given banks vehcle , and residence.

[quote]What about the number of leaves in a calendar year of a PMS officer? If possible, please draw a comparison between the leaves of a PMS officer vs that of CSP Officer[/quote]

Leaves are admissible as per Govt Rules applicable to all Govt Officials.

[quote]Last, what are the different departments in which a PMS officer can be placed? Like CSS, do we have an option to give our preferences or we just have to count on the Provincial Government to decide it for us?[/quote]

Here i am reproducing the PMS Rules 2004 so you can get an idea regarding your query.
