Punjab Tourism Force Announces 39 Jobs With Salaries Up to Rs. 80,000

The Department of Tourist Services (DTS), under Punjab’s Tourism, Archaeology and Museums Department, has opened applications for 39 contract-based posts in the Punjab Tourism Force. The advertisement, published in national newspapers around 9–10 October 2026, offers lump-sum monthly pay packages from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 80,000, with a 10 percent annual increase.

One important clarification: social media posts citing “up to Rs. 100,000” for this round are not borne out by the official ad. The October 2026 advertisement caps the highest pay at Rs. 80,000 per month (Tourism Inspector and Accounts Officer). Higher figures belonged to a separate February 2026 round, which closed on 19 February 2026.

Which Posts Are Available — and What They Pay

The current recruitment covers five posts. The bulk of the intake is the field force — inspectors, sub-inspectors and constables who will work at tourist spots across Punjab — plus two office-based finance roles. All pay packages are lump-sum monthly amounts with a 10 percent annual increase.

The competent authority reserves the right to increase or decrease the number of vacancies, so the final count may shift slightly.

Key Conditions to Note Before You Apply

• Domicile: Punjab domicile required.
• Contract: Three years, extendable — but explicitly not to be made permanent or regularised.
• Posting: Anywhere in Punjab.
• Medical certificate: For the three uniformed posts, a medical certificate of all physical measurements — signed and stamped by the Medical Superintendent of the relevant DHQ hospital or Mian Munshi Hospital Lahore, issued on or before the closing date — must be entered into the online form.
• Shortlisting: Only shortlisted candidates will be called for a proficiency test or interview. English proficiency and computer skills will be preferred.
• No TA/DA for the recruitment process.

How to Apply and the Deadline

Applications must be submitted online only through the Punjab Job Portal at jobs.punjab.gov.pk — hardcopy applications will not be accepted. The last date for submission is 23 October 2026. Incomplete or late applications will not be entertained, and fake documents or concealed information will lead to disqualification at any stage.

Because the window is short — roughly two weeks from publication — applicants for uniformed posts should get their medical certificates done early rather than waiting for the deadline, since the certificate must predate the closing date.

What This Recruitment Signals

A dedicated tourism force at visitor sites across Punjab — from heritage spots in Lahore and Multan to northern hill stations — shows the province formalising tourist services rather than relying on ad-hoc arrangements. For applicants, the draw is fixed lump-sum pay well above the minimum wage plus a built-in 10 percent annual rise. Go in with open eyes, though: these are three-year contract posts with no regularization path, and the department may cancel the recruitment at any stage.

This is also not the force’s first intake this year. A separate February 2026 advertisement (around 170 posts, deadline 19 February 2026) included Assistant Director slots paying up to Rs. 120,000. The October 2026 ad is a smaller, distinct round — and its ceiling is Rs. 80,000.
