Finance Division, Government of Pakistan
The Finance Division of the Government of Pakistan has opened seven regular federal posts in Islamabad for candidates holding a Balochistan domicile. The advertisement appeared in the Daily Dawn on 30 October 2026, and it covers two familiar support roles: Stenotypist and Driver. Both posts are filled under the Balochistan quota, and both are regular posts in the Finance Division (Main), not short-term project hiring.
The round suits candidates who already hold the required skill: shorthand and typing speed for Stenotypists, and a valid licence plus traffic-rule knowledge for Drivers.

Why Apply for These Finance Division Posts
These are regular federal government posts, which is the main attraction. Unlike a project job that ends with the project, a regular post in a federal division offers the stability and service structure that most government job seekers look for.
The entry bar is also realistic: Intermediate plus a measurable skill for Stenotypist, and a Primary pass plus a licence for Driver. The advertisement also says the technical-skill condition can be relaxed until the end of the probation period, giving a selected candidate room to polish a skill after joining. No salary figure is printed in the advertisement text checked here, so none is claimed — check the pay scale on your portal listing.
