PERA Jobs 2026 — District posts (100 posts)
| Post | Pay package | Seats | Posting |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deputy Manager (Internal Affairs) | SPPP-4 | 38 | One post in each DERB secretariat, in DC offices across Punjab |
| Assistant Manager (Internal Affairs) | SPPP-5 | 62 | Lahore 7, divisional headquarters 27, district headquarters 28 |
That is the full post list: 10 headquarters posts plus 100 district posts, totalling 110. If you see a figure of 112 quoted anywhere for this advertisement, it does not match the published post-by-post list — the lists in ProPakistani and the job portals all add up to 110, and this article uses 110.
Who can apply — read this before you trust any eligibility list
The PERA advertisement does not print degree, experience or age conditions for these posts. Instead, it directs applicants to the official PERA website, pera.punjab.gov.pk, for the detailed job descriptions, minimum qualification, experience and terms and conditions of each post. That matters: any page that invents a degree or age limit for a PERA post is guessing. Before you apply, open your post on the Punjab Job Portal and on pera.punjab.gov.pk and confirm the qualification and experience it actually asks for. The posts span internal affairs, human resources, information technology (including AI and machine learning and full-stack development), data analysis, auditing and system support, so the requirements differ sharply from post to post — an AI/ML team lead and a district internal-affairs deputy manager are not judged on the same profile.
What the advertisement does say clearly: appointments are on contract under the negotiable Special PERA Pay Package, the initial contract is three years and can be extended on satisfactory performance, and applications go through the Punjab Job Portal only. No other application method is accepted.
Salary — what SPPP means
SPPP stands for the Special PERA Pay Package. It is a negotiable package, not a Basic Pay Scale grade — so do not compare SPPP-2 to SPPP-5 with the BPS grades of regular government departments. The advertisement prints the SPPP levels only; it does not print fixed monthly rupee amounts. Anyone quoting an exact PERA salary figure for these posts is not quoting the advertisement. Your pay is settled under the SPPP package for your post, which is why the official job description for your post is the document to check.
How to apply for PERA Jobs 2026 — step by step
- Open the official portal. Go to jobs.punjab.gov.pk. PERA accepts online applications only — no other method is accepted.
- Register and log in. Create your account on the portal, activate it through the email the portal sends you, then log in.
- Complete your profile. Fill in your personal details, education, experience and skills carefully and exactly as your certificates show — these posts are judged on professional experience, so job dates and roles matter.
- Open the PERA post you want. Check that the page shows Punjab Enforcement and Regulatory Authority before you start, and read the post’s own requirements on the portal and on pera.punjab.gov.pk.
- Attach the documents that post asks for and apply. The advertisement does not print a single document checklist, so attach exactly what your post’s page requires, then submit.
- Keep proof. Save the confirmation message and email. Do not submit an incomplete application — and do not wait until 29 October to discover a missing document.
Documents you need
The advertisement does not print a document checklist, so this article will not invent one. As a practical matter, have these ready before you open the form, because the portal application for each post asks for its own set:
- Your CNIC
- Educational degrees and certificates for the qualification your post requires
- Experience certificates covering the experience your post requires
- Any other supporting document that your post’s page specifically asks for
Scan each document clearly before you start. If a document your post requires is missing, get it first — an incomplete application helps no one.
Selection process
PERA appoints on an initial three-year contract, extendable on satisfactory performance. The sources for this advertisement do not publish a test or interview schedule, and no test or interview date is claimed here. Follow the Punjab Job Portal and pera.punjab.gov.pk for any schedule that is announced after applications close.
Pro tips before you submit
- Apply before 29 October, not on it. Three days is enough time to check requirements and gather documents; it is not enough time to recover from a last-day portal problem.
- Check the official description, not a forwarded summary. Because the ad itself does not print qualifications, the only safe eligibility source is pera.punjab.gov.pk and your post’s portal page.
- Pick one post that truly fits. With 110 seats spread across 12 different post titles, the strongest application is the one whose qualification and experience you can actually evidence.
- Do not pay anyone. No fee is mentioned for these posts. Anyone who asks for money to get you a PERA post is cheating you. Apply only on jobs.punjab.gov.pk and never share your portal password.
- Also closing this week: PPSC Advertisement 11/2026 (299 posts) closes 26 October — a different body on a different portal, so do not mix the two applications up.
