Pakistan Halal Authority Jobs 2026 – 5 Stenotypist & Naib Qasid Posts, Apply by 20 November

The Pakistan Halal Authority (PHA), working under the Ministry of Science and Technology, has announced five government posts in Islamabad for candidates holding a Balochistan domicile. One post is for a Stenotypist in BPS-14 and four posts are for Naib Qasid in BPS-02. Applications are accepted online only, through the National Jobs Portal (NJP).

Last date to apply: 20 November 2026. This is the safe date. The NJP listing gives 20 November, while some other listings print 22 or 23 November. Because the ad itself allows 15 days from publication, the dates differ between sources, so apply by 20 November and do not risk the later dates.

Vacant Posts at Pakistan Halal Authority

Both posts are regular government posts under the Balochistan quota. Only Pakistani nationals holding a valid Balochistan domicile or local certificate can apply. The Stenotypist works with dictation, typing and office correspondence, so shorthand and typing speed are tested skills for that post. The Naib Qasid posts are office support roles, open to candidates who have passed Primary school.

A Note on the Last Date — Please Read

Different listings give different closing dates for this round, and job seekers should know why. The NJP listing for both posts gives 20 November 2026, and that is the date used in this post. Other listings print 22 November or 23 November, worked out from the 15-day window after the newspaper advertisement, which appeared in Daily Duniya on 7 November 2026. The safest course is clear: treat 20 November 2026 as the last date and submit your NJP application before it. If you apply by 20 November, you are safe under every version of the date.

Eligibility Criteria

For the Stenotypist post, you need Intermediate education from a recognised board, a shorthand speed of 80 words per minute and a typing speed of 40 words per minute, plus working knowledge of MS Office and InPage Urdu. For the Naib Qasid posts, a Primary pass is enough. The maximum age is 30 years, with a general relaxation of 5 years and an additional 5 years of relaxation for Balochistan candidates under the rules for this special recruitment. Government servants should apply through the proper channel and attach an NOC.

There is no written or screening test in this round. Shortlisted candidates will be called for interviews in Quetta, so candidates from Balochistan should be ready to travel there when called. Keep your phone number and email address active on your NJP profile, because interview calls come through those channels.

What Is the Pakistan Halal Authority?

The Pakistan Halal Authority works under the Ministry of Science and Technology and deals with halal certification and standards in Pakistan. Its head office is in Islamabad. A clerical post here means working inside a federal authority, with regular government service terms, a fixed pay scale and the usual allowances that come with a BPS post. For a Balochistan domicile holder, this is one of the few federal openings reserved purely for the province in this round of NJP advertisements.
