1-PMS(Punjab Management Service)

Most of the aspirants place PMS at top. Created in 2004 , PMS has improved service structure of provincial bureaucracy. PMS officer enjoys enormous mobility-mostly horizontal because promotion is slow(Erstwhile PCS Officers of 1996 Batch are still in Grade 17).

However in Grade -17 newly inducted PMS Officers are assigned lucrative positions such as Assistant Commissioners, DMOs, TMOs, Special Judicial Magistrates etc. However all the officers have to serve a specified initial period in Secretariat as SO.

Another dark side of PMS is dominance of DMGs over provincial officers.A PMS Officer (Former PCS has been merged in PMS) having 10 years of service is tranfered from AC to SO in Secretariat in routine manner. But newly recruited DMG Officers are rarely sent back to the field. Even if it happens they are(DMG Officers) are posted as Deputy Secretary which is other wise a Geade 18 post in Provincial Set up.

2-ETO(Excise and Taxation Officer)

ETO/DDO Excise and Taxation is posted in District Headquarter and reports to DO Excise and Taxation. Majors functions include

1-Collection of Provincial Taxes as assigned by the Government.
2-Collection of Capital Value Tax and Advance Income Tax on behalf of Federal Government at the time of registration of a vehicle and collection of Motor Vehicle Tax respectively.
3-Issuance of Registration Marks and Certificates to Motor vehicles.
4-Collection of Token Tax from the owners of Tied-Up Vehicles through Bank. Collection of Token Tax from the owners of Non Tied-Up Vehicles through Post Offices.
5-Issuance of Duplicate Registration Certificates of the vehicles, Change of Ownership, Change of Engine Number and issuance of NOC etc. for the owners of the vehicles.
6-Collection of Property Tax according to the assessment of Property Unit.
7-Issuance of Assessment Copy of Property Unit on PT-1 Form.
8-Issuance of Clearance Certificate in respect of Property Unit.
9-Updating of records in respect of property units in respect of Change of Ownership, Self Occupied Property Unit, and Rented Property Unit etc.

11-Regulation of import, export, possession and consumption of various dangerous drugs and narcotic substances.
12-Issuance of different Permits/Licenses for possession and sale of liquors and spirits

Promotion is as usual very slow with no horizental or vertical mobility. You may be tranfered from one location to another or nature of assignment may be changed (like from ETO Excise to ETO Registration etc)

Well right choice at the outset is very important. I quote you an example that in Competitive Exam-2006 , many candidates placed post of Tehsildar (BPS-16) above PMS.At that time , PMS Structure was not much clear. However after lapse of 5 years, these Tehsildars have to appear in another PMS exam in order to get promotion in PMS Cadre(25 % Posts reserved for Tehsildars who have 05 years experince).

In my view PMS is still better option over other posts , personal prefernces notwithstanding. And i am not amongst the aspirants of PMS.
