Subject: MATTERS PERTAINING TO PENSION OF THE

EMPLOYEES GOVERNMENT / ERSTWHILE LOCAL
COUNCILS
With the implementation of the PLG Ordinance, 2001, the
administrative functions and financial management of the offices of Local
Government and Rural Development Department, Housing, Urban Development
and Public Health Engineering Department at the Regional, Zonal,
Circle/Divisional, District/Tehsil and lower tiers stand entrusted to the Tehsil
Municipal Administrations (TMAs).
2. To give effect to the provisions of Section 52 read with Sections

53(4) and 183(1) ibid, the civil servants working in the field formations of the

Union Administrations (UAs), in the light of this Department’s circular No. SO-
IV(LG)10-1/2002 dated 20-6-2002.
3. Meanwhile, the employees of Education and Health sectors of the

erstwhile Urban Local Councils were transferred and adjusted in respective
District Governments in the light of the policy contained in this department’s
letter of even number dated 25-6-2002. With the expiry of transitional phase of
devolution, and with effect from July 1st, 2002, the respective Local
Governments started paying salaries to such staff as borne on the schedule of
their respective establishments.
4. After the issuance of this Department’s notification of even No.

Dated 23-10-2002, inter-alia, establishing a “Pension Local Fund” in District
Governments, and proscribing a procedure for regulating the said fund, the issues
pertaining to sanction and payments of pension etc., to the employees of defunct
Zila Councils / MCLs adjusted in District Governments have been settled.
However, the employees of the govt. departments and the erstwhile Local
Councils, other than those mentioned above on their adjustment in local
governments, have raised questions and expressed concerns regarding the matters
pertaining to their pensionary affairs. Such issues have therefore, been engaging
the attention of the Government for redressal.

working in erstwhile union councils, prior to devolution;

(iii) employees of erstwhile urban local councils and Zila Councils
adjusted in the respective successor Local Government
(TMAs) and,
(iv) employees of erstwhile urban local councils and Zila Councils
adjusted in Union Administrations.

funds of the organization, it has been decided that it shall be sanctioned and paid,
in the manner, as already prescribed, by the government / successor local
government, respectively, for the employees as per the following procedure:
(i) The pension liability of civil servants falling in category
mentioned in para 5(i) above shall be borne by the

required to make pension contribution in this respect. The
pension cases of such retiring civil servants shall be processed
and finalized by the erstwhile respective departmental

pay certificate / service statement issued to the pension
sanctioning authority by the Tehsil Accounts Officer/Union

Accountant General, Punjab / District Accounts Officer
concerned.

proportionately between the respective successor TMA as per
calculations worked out, and PPO issued by District

notification of even number dated 23-10-2002.

(iii) The pensionary liabilities of the employees falling in category
mentioned in para 5(iii) above shall continue to be discharged

respect of each employee, as prescribed in this department’s
circular letter referred to para 6(iii) above.
7. PENSION SANCTIONING AUTHORITY:
The pension sanctioning authority in respect of civil servants, and
employees of erstwhile Local Councils posted in TMAs/UAs shall remain the
same as prescribed for such category of officials prior to their present postings.

billboards or regulate the mode of advertisements including the wall
chalking. The TMAs are, thus, required to regulate such activities, as
provided under the law.

waste
Under Section 54 (h) (iv) Tehsil Municipal Administrations are
required to make necessary arrangements for sanitation and solid
waste collection and to arrange for disposal of industrial wastes.

chemicals, inflammable, hazardous or offensive articles in any drain,
or public water course or public land in such manner as to endanger
the lives of persons living or working in the area / neighborhood, or
cause risk, to the property is an offence. Besides, under Section 45
(4) and 46 (1), the concerned Local Government can direct the
commercial or industries concerns to provide for the disposal of
wastes in the prescribed manner; failure on the part of the owner or
tenant or occupier shall be liable for punishment in lieu of such
municipal offence.

municipal offence narrated as above. Tehsil Municipal Administrations may take
necessary action to curb the incidence of the undesirable and illegal actions being
taken by some public quarters, in this regard.

No. SO.IV(LG) 1-10/2003
Dated Lahore, the 5th January, 2004
Subject: PROMOTIONS IN NEW LOCAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM

New Local Government System came into existence with the

promulgation of PLGO-2001 on 14th of August, 2001. As a result, various local
governments i.e., District Governments, Tehsil/Town Municipal Administrations
and Union Administrations were setup. Staffing requirements for the new local
governments were fulfilled by way of adjustments of the employees of former
local bodies. Various aspects of the service matters in respect of the said
employees, therefore, require fresh analysis and decisions. The need for new
promotion mechanism in the new setup has been engaging the attention of the
Department. In a bid to avoid future problems, owing to promotions being made
at the local governments in the absence of new law, a ban on promotions at
governments was imposed vide this Department’s letter dated 6-5-2003 while the
ie remained under active consideration of the Department. Accordingly new
procedure regulating the seniority and promotion etc., in respect of various
categories of employees at local governments is hereby specified as under:
(a) Employees of erstwhile Zila Councils/MCL now adjusted
at District Governments, TMAs and UAs
2. District/City District Governments have succeeded Zila
Councils/MCL. The District Local Council Servants of erstwhile Zila
Councils/MCL is, therefore, part of District Governments, a number of
employees of this group have, however, been treated (during the Transition
Period) at both Tehsil and Union levels. The staff has been dispersed within the
District at District Govt., TMAs & UAs.
3. Promotion, move-over and grant of selection scale cases for this

category of employees shall continue to be decided at the District/City District
Governments. For this purpose complete information/data about the staff and
their places of posting shall be maintained at the District. Former seniority lists
wouldn’t be disturbed. An official’s seniority will be independent of his place of
posting (whether District Govt., TMA or UA). For the purpose of promotion, all
the dispersed staff belonging to a cadre would be considered together as in the
former system. The promotions shall be made against vacant posts. In case the
post is occupied by way of ex-cadre adjustment of some non-defunct Zila
Council servant, an attempt would be made by the concerned local govt. to
rectify the ex-cadre adjustment. If the post to which an official is to be promoted

lies in a different local government and is vacant (or can be vacated because it is
occupied by an ex-cadre official), the official may be promoted and transferred to
the other local government against that post. It may be kept in mind that in the
process of transition in the new local govt. system, no post has been abolished
anywhere. All previous posts still exist, some of them have, however, been
shifted to other local governments. The promotion/selection committees along
with appointing authorities have already been prescribed vide this Department
Notification dated 18-4-2002.
(b) Employees of Education and Health Sectors of erstwhile
urban local councils now adjusted at District Governments
(excluding the Health and Education Functional Units of
LCS)
4. All the health and education staff of erstwhile urban local councils
was shifted to the respective Districts vide this Department letter dated 25-6-
2002. The posts were abolished from the Schedule of Establishment of TMAs
(successor of erstwhile urban local councils) and were created at the District
Governments. In the former system, seniority lists were maintained at the local
council level. Education/Health staff from various local councils has been
accumulated at each District. The seniority lists shall now be maintained as per
the erstwhile fashion. For that purpose all such staff at a District would be
considered as formed by smaller groups, each group representing a particular
(parent) local council with promotions, move-over & grant of selection scales
considered and made (within that group) as would be done if they were posted in
their respective local body under the previous system. This arrangement would
continue till such time that the cadre is phased out. All service matters including
promotions in respect of this category of employees shall now be decided at the
District Competent authorities for appointment, selection/promotion committees
have already been specified vide this Department’s Notification dated 18-4-2002.
(c) Employees of erstwhile urban local councils now adjusted
at District Governments, TMAs and Union
Administrations (other than health & education staff).
5. Urban local councils have succeeded by the TMAs. Staff of erstwhile
urban local councils (Town Committees, Municipal Committees and Municipal

Corporations) has, however, been adjusted at District Governments and Union
Administrations, besides the TMAs. Moreover, employees of various erstwhile
urban local councils have accumulated at one TMA. For each erstwhile urban
local council a CO unit is also present at the TMA.
6. The seniority for this category of employees shall be separately

maintained for each (defunct) urban local council as was the case under the
erstwhile system. Chief Officers (now Council Officers) shall keep complete
record of the staff and posts of the local council he is representing. Since the staff
and posts have been scattered at District Govt., TMA and UA, he shall coordinate
with other local govts., for this purpose, the erstwhile seniority lists of both the
octroi staff and general cadre shall remain intact. CO Unit shall send the
recommendations for promotions, move-over & grant of selection scales to
Tehsil Promotion Committee constituted under Notification dated 18-4-02. The
posts occupied by ex-cadre adjustments shall be treated as vacant for the purpose
of promotion of junior to those posts. An attempt shall be made by the TMA to
rectify/undo the ex-cadre adjustment. In case the vacant post to which an official
has been promoted lies at District Govt., or UA, the official may be promoted
and transferred to that local government by the appropriate authority.
7. It has further been decided to lift the ban on promotions (imposed

vide this Department’s letter dated 6-5-2003) with immediate effect with the
condition that all promotions/move-over/grant of selection scale cases decided
since 14-8-2001 at the Union Administrations, TMAs and District Governments
shall be re-considered in the light of this new promotion procedure.

2. It has been observed that complaints regarding overcharging of

parking fee as well as lifting of vehicles from empty roads during night and
misconduct by the staff are on increase. In order to resolve the matter in public
interest, it has been decided that all the concerned Local Governments should
establish/notify “Complaint Centers” at various public places, where the public
could readily approach for redress of their complaints/grievances.
3. It is, therefore, requested that such Complaint Centers may be

established at convenient places, within one month. Moreover, establishment of
Complaint Centers should be properly advertised for the information of general
public.

budget of every local Government for utilization through CCBs. The rules of
business for the CCBs have already been promulgated and issued by this
department.
2. It is observed that the process of registration of CCBs is slow and

only a limited numbers of CCBs have yet registered by the authorities. It is,
therefore, requested that the process of registration of the Citizen Community
Board (CCBs) may be expedited so that the communities may formally be
involved in the development process and the funds earmarked for the purpose
may be utilized for the public welfare.
3. A progress report in this regard may be sent to this department on

monthly basis after doing the needful in the subject matter.
