The Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO) Secretariat in Islamabad has announced one vacancy for the post of Assistant in BPS-15, reserved for candidates holding a Balochistan domicile under the 6 per cent Balochistan quota. Applications are open now and must be submitted online through the National Job Portal by 13 November 2026.

The post is a regular federal government job, and the selected candidate will be posted in Islamabad. It is part of the federal government's Balochistan Employment Initiative, under which federal departments are filling reserved posts for Balochistan domicile holders through the National Job Portal and the Balochistan Federal Employment Facilitation Cell.

To be eligible, a candidate must hold a bachelor's degree from a recognised university and a Balochistan domicile. The advertisement puts the age limit at 18 to 38 years, with further age relaxation allowed under the applicable federal government rules. Candidates already working in government service must produce a no-objection certificate from their parent department when called for interview.

The advertisement states that selection will be made through a walk-in interview, with no written test and no screening test. Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview, and no travel allowance or daily allowance will be paid for appearing. Candidates should bring their original documents, CNIC and domicile certificate when called.

After selection, the successful candidate must complete a six-week basic IT training course, including MS Office, conducted by the National Information Technology Board, before the completion of the probation period. Educational degrees must have been issued by institutions recognised by the Higher Education Commission, where applicable.

The Federal Tax Ombudsman is the federal ombudsman for tax matters, dealing with complaints of maladministration by the tax authorities. The Secretariat in Islamabad handles complaints from taxpayers across the country, so the Assistant will work in a small, public-facing federal office where accuracy and record-keeping matter.

To apply, candidates should visit the National Job Portal at njp.gov.pk, create an account or log in, search for the Federal Tax Ombudsman Secretariat Assistant (BPS-15) vacancy, and submit the online form before the closing date. The advertisement also mentions assistance through the designated Balochistan Federal Employment Facilitation Cell employment cells for candidates who need help with their applications.

The FTO Secretariat is a small office, so competition for a single post is likely to be strong. Candidates should apply well before the deadline and check the listing on the National Job Portal for the latest details, as the portal's closing date is the final word. Providing false or incorrect information can lead to cancellation of candidature, and the department reserves the right to cancel the recruitment process at any stage.
