Stenotypist

About This Job

The Office of the Wafaqi Mohtasib, Pakistan's Federal Ombudsman, has issued a vacancy announcement dated 28 September 2026 for one Stenotypist at its Regional Office in Bahawalpur. The position is being filled on a contract basis under Article-20 of President's Order No.1 of 1983, the statutory provision the Ombudsman Secretariat uses to engage staff for its regional network on its usual terms and conditions. The post is treated as equivalent to BS-14 on the federal pay scale. The Bahawalpur regional office receives and processes complaints of maladministration against federal government agencies from residents of the Bahawalpur division and nearby districts, so the person selected will be part of the small support team that keeps case files, hearings and official correspondence moving. Openings at Ombudsman regional offices tend to be single-seat and infrequent, which makes this a notable opportunity for stenographers in south Punjab who want a federal-sector role close to home.

To be eligible, candidates need at least an Intermediate qualification together with a minimum shorthand speed of 80 words per minute and a typing speed of 40 words per minute, and they must be computer literate, since most of the work involves taking dictation and preparing documents on a computer. The age window is 18 to 30 years, a range that already includes the five-year general age relaxation. Both fresh candidates and retired government employees are invited to apply, and for retired government servants the upper age limit is extended to 65 years, which opens the door to experienced former officials. The advertisement does not restrict the post by gender or domicile, but it clearly states that preference will be given to applicants who belong to Bahawalpur itself or to its contiguous districts, so local candidates have an advantage in the selection.

Applications are submitted on paper rather than online. Interested candidates should write an application for the Stenotypist post, attach attested copies of their educational certificates, CNIC, domicile and other relevant documents, and send or deliver the complete set to The Incharge, Office of the Wafaqi Mohtasib, Regional Office, Bahawalpur, at H.No.50-A, Muhammadia Colony, Noor Mahal Road, Bahawalpur. The announcement allows 14 days from publication, and the Wafaqi Mohtasib careers page lists 11 October 2026 as the closing date. No application fee is mentioned. Queries can be directed to the regional office on 062-9255615. Because the deadline is immediate, anyone who meets the criteria should deliver the application by hand to the regional office today if possible rather than relying on the post.
