KARACHI: Sindh Government has granted 5 years upper age relaxation for government employment in all departments and institutions.
Following the approval of the Sindh cabinet, a regular notification has also been issued in this regard, stating that the age limit for the acquisition of government employment has been increased from 28 years to 33 years, but the age limit will not be applied to the police and other forces.
The statement said that the decision will be implemented from January 1, 2025 to 31 December 2026, the age limit for all jobs except the CEC exam will be 33 years.
This decision aims to provide a better chance for young people to secure government employment in the province.
Previously, the age limit for applicants was set at 28 years following a court ruling that overturned an earlier decision to allow an upper age limit of 43 years.
The Supreme Court upheld a Sindh High Court order, striking down a 2020 notification by the Sindh government that had granted up to 15 years of age relaxation for government job applicants.
