TMO is BS-17 Govt. Servant then how it is possible that he even didn't receive his salary...??

Because salary budget of Tehsil or District Municipal Offices is not affiliated with Accounts General Of Province. EVER HEARD OF AG PUNJAB ? that means no online salary system. TMA generates its own budget and prepares salaries autonomously as per the wish of MPA oar MNA of the area. No one cares about the proper and equal payment to all the employees of TMA.

Secondly in local govt. the deadliest of all issues is salary issue. funds are plundered politically and office runs short of balance for paying emoluments regularly, every month. Last but not the least, if you are posted anywhere in field offices you'll be paid salary. if you are reported to secretary (that means your services are held in headquarters) you are paid nothing.. you just wait for your posting. this period of waiting is so so so so so long that sometimes ten years pass by but employes can not be posted because they do not have political recommendation or they can not pay demanded sums as bribe to the staff of Secretary Local Govt Board.
In this case awaiting officers of grade 16 or 17 do private jobs and earn their living. There status is just like unemployeed fellows. 


Secondly why they are insulted by PAS officers...??

Because Assistant Commissioners are recently given the charge of administrators in TMAs and DMCs by the secretary local government.
so TMOs and CMOs have to serve their authorities.
Assistant Commissioners who are CSS officers are more privileged and competent so they enjoy there sway.

Proper Study Material for TMO

For proper preparation, consult 'Caravan Publishers Encyclopedia of General Knowledge' by Ch. Najib and, PPSC Past Papers published by Advanced Publishers by Imtiaz Shahid. These two books are sufficient. For online preparation, I don't think the method can award success as one has to study properly and extensively from the books as it is MCQs based general knowledge paper.


For Urdu portion, one should get know-how of the important books or authors of Urdu Literature. But, the above-mentioned books also comprise Urdu section and that is almost enough.

In Sindh this post is a personal revenue generating tool for the concerned members of provincial assembly or the feudal lords , the influential few in the region.Taluka Municipal Administration is a very preliminary institute where the feudal lords are trained with typical politics. The office serves as a launching pad for the new politicians to begin their ventures high up to the professional corruption. Only those who can play well to the tunes of local politicians can be posted as TMO in Sindh. Grades, scales , cadres have no meaning at all. Even we witness bps-17 officers serving under BPS-5 employees who are posted as TMO on strong recommendation of the MPAs in their tehsils.
There's is no accountability of the funds which are utilized beyond the budget book. Here TMOs are millionaires and their bosses, MPAs, are billionaires. Newly appointed officers in grade 17 are posted as under training officers as long as the learn the art of plying puppets and taking audit risk of embezzled funds wholly Solly on their tiny shoulders.
Here local Government Department works extra judicially and in blatant contempt to the court orders and no one gives a shit about it. Salary system is quite awkward since salary accounts are not manipulated by Accounts General Sindh. That means you are not like other government departments where employees have their salaries on line. If you are posted any where you are entitled to draw your salary and if you are reported to the Secretary, you'll have to starve. Not a single penny will be paid to you. And let me tell you this period is called awaiting period in which majority of local govt employees suffer famines only because they can not bribe the demanded sums to the team of Secretary for their postings.
Here If you have an efficient political patronage go for TMO job but if you have neither political
l recommendation nor potential bank account, this job is just not for you.
