Civil Servants Act 1973 MCQs decide a large share of marks in federal recruitment papers. The Act is short \u2014 26 sections \u2014 which means examiners test exact numbers, not general understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have seen firsthand that candidates lose easy marks by memorising summaries instead of section numbers. This guide fixes that with section-wise facts and practice questions built from the original text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Act carries the number LXXI of 1973<\/strong>. It regulates appointment and terms and conditions of service for persons in the service of Pakistan, and it applies to all civil servants wherever they may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is divided into four chapters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Section 26 repeals the Civil Servants Ordinance, 1973 (XIV of 1973). Administration of the Act rests with the Establishment Division under Schedule II of the Rules of Business, 1973.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Section 2 defines who is not<\/em> a civil servant, and this exclusion list is the most frequently tested item in Civil Servants Act 1973 MCQs. A person on deputation to the Federation from a Province or other authority is excluded. So is a person employed on contract, on work-charged basis, or paid from contingencies. A “worker” or “workman” under the Factories Act, 1934 or the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 is also outside the definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two more definitions carry marks. An ad hoc appointment<\/strong> is one made otherwise than by the prescribed method of recruitment, pending regular recruitment. An initial appointment<\/strong> is one made otherwise than by promotion or transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We always advise candidates to build a number table before attempting past papers. These are the figures that appear most often:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Section 21 links civil servants to benefits under the Central Employees Benevolent Fund and Group Insurance Act, 1969 (II of 1969) \u2014 another number worth committing to memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Section 7 states there shall be no confirmation against any temporary post. Confirmation takes effect from the date of occurrence of a permanent vacancy or the date of continuous officiation, whichever is later<\/strong>. Candidates routinely mark “whichever is earlier” and lose the mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under Section 8, civil servants selected for promotion in one batch retain their inter se seniority from the lower post. Seniority in a promoted post takes effect from the date of regular appointment to that post, not from the date of the selection board meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.<\/strong> The Civil Servants Act, 1973 is Act No.: 2.<\/strong> Under Section 13, a civil servant retires on completion of: 3.<\/strong> A civil servant holds office during the pleasure of the: 4.<\/strong> Temporary or ad hoc employment is terminable on notice of: 5.<\/strong> An appeal or representation must be filed within: 6.<\/strong> Compassionate allowance under Section 19 shall not exceed: 7.<\/strong> Promotion to a non-selection post is made on the basis of: 8.<\/strong> There shall be no confirmation against: 9.<\/strong> The provident fund statement is furnished before the expiry of the: 10.<\/strong> Section 26 of the Act repeals the: 11.<\/strong> Power to remove difficulties under Section 24 lapses after: 12.<\/strong> A person on deputation to the Federation from a Province is: Read the bare Act once in full \u2014 it takes under an hour. Then attempt Civil Servants Act 1973 MCQs section by section rather than randomly, because the paper itself is structured that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep the Act separate from the rules made under it. The Civil Servants (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973 and the Civil Servants (Appeal) Rules, 1977 are different instruments, and mixing them is a common source of wrong answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Civil Servants Act, 1973 rewards precision over interpretation. Fix the section numbers, the time limits and the exclusion list, and the rest follows. Attempt our full question bank, then return to the bare text to confirm every answer. That loop is what converts reading into marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We build every question directly from the notified statutory text, then verify it against the latest amendments before publishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.
