Balochistan Government Cracks Down on Dual Job Holders–Official Notification

Dual Job Alert: Balochistan Government Bans Simultaneous Government Jobs – Here’s the Official Notification:

In a bold move to address growing concerns over dual job holders, the Government of Balochistan, Finance Department has issued a strong directive, declaring the holding of two government jobs at once as illegal. This recent government notification (April 2025) highlights that individuals drawing salaries from more than one government source—be it from two provincial departments or a mix of Federal and Provincial Governments—are in violation of Civil Service Rule 467.

The Finance Department has instructed that salaries of such employees must be withheld until a final decision is reached. This directive follows a previous circular and a recent Secretaries Committee meeting chaired by the Chief Secretary Balochistan, which emphasized strict action under BEEDA 2011, recoveries of salaries, and even FIRs under Section 420 CrPC if misconduct is proven.

This is a must-read update for all government employees in Balochistan, HR departments, and public service aspirants. Please find notification:

Strict Measures Ahead: Dual Job Employees Face FIRs, Salary Recovery – Govt of Balochistan Issues Strong Message:

The recent government notification makes it crystal clear that the Balochistan Government is taking dual employment cases seriously. The directive not only stops salary disbursement but also opens the door to disciplinary action, salary recovery, and criminal proceedings under Section 420 of the CrPC. This crackdown is a part of broader accountability reforms in the province’s civil service sector.

However, employees who are on sanctioned leave (EOL) with proper NOC or deputed legally will not be affected by this order. All administrative departments are instructed to move ahead swiftly in implementing these decisions.
