Govt to abolish 60% vacant accounts posts
CGA is the premier accounting office of the Government of Pakistan
The federal government is set to eliminate 60% of the vacant permanent positions within the accounts system, according to directives issued by the Controller General of Accounts (CGA). The CGA, the country's leading accounting office, has instructed relevant officers to commence the process of terminating these posts. The decision to abolish these positions was made after a federal cabinet meeting held on August 27, 2024.
However, posts designated for transfers, postings, and promotions will remain unaffected by this decision. The abolished positions will be subtracted from the quota for initial appointments and direct recruitment. All Financial Accounting Offices (FAOs) are required to revise their vacancy lists in accordance with this decision and process promotion cases accordingly.
The CGA, which is responsible for generating accurate and timely financial statements for the federation, approved the communication containing these instructions.
