Pakistan Railways doesn’t run recruitment drives like this often — this is a contract-basis hiring push under the Directorate of Land Management, Headquarters Office, Lahore, issued under a Ministry of Railways letter dated 14 April 2026. What makes it worth reading in full rather than skimming is the sheer range: everything from BPS-18 equivalent management posts down to a BPS-9 equivalent Revenue Assistant role, with land management, legal, and GIS-specific positions making up the bulk of it. If you’ve got a background in urban planning, GIS, or land revenue administration, this ad has more relevant categories than most.
All 20 Positions:
| S# | Position | Vacancies | Pay Scale (Equivalent) | Age Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Manager Property and Land | 1 | BPS-18 | 62 Years |
| 2 | Manager Legal | 1 | BPS-18 | 62 Years |
| 3 | Manager Contract | 1 | BPS-18 | 62 Years |
| 4 | Manager GIS | 1 | BPS-18 | 62 Years |
| 5 | Manager Land Revenue | 1 | BPS-18 | 62 Years |
| 6 | Manager Land Commercial | 1 | BPS-18 | 62 Years |
| 7 | Manager Licensing | 1 | BPS-18 | 62 Years |
| 8 | Assistant Manager Prevention | 1 | BPS-17 | 62 Years |
| 9 | Judicial Magistrate | 3 | BPS-17 | 62 Years |
| 10 | Assistant Manager Commercial | 7 | BPS-17 | 62 Years |
| 11 | Assistant Manager Contract | 7 | BPS-17 | 62 Years |
| 12 | Land Inspector | 4 | BPS-16 | 62 Years |
| 13 | GIS Supervisor | 8 | BPS-16 | 62 Years |
| 14 | Assistant Developer GIS | 1 | BPS-16 | 62 Years |
| 15 | Inspector Land Revenue | 7 | BPS-16 | 62 Years |
| 16 | Inspector Anti Encroachment | 7 | BPS-16 | 62 Years |
| 17 | Inspector Licensing | 7 | BPS-16 | 62 Years |
| 18 | Contract Assistant | 7 | BPS-16 | 62 Years |
| 19 | Legal Assistant | 7 | BPS-16 | 62 Years |
| 20 | Revenue Assistant | 8 | BPS-09 | 30 Years |
A quick pattern worth noticing: nearly every post carries a 62-year age limit, which is unusually high compared to most government ads — this is because several categories (Manager Land Revenue, Inspector Land Revenue, Inspector Anti Encroachment) specifically call for retired government officials — retired Deputy Directors, Tehsildars, Naib Tehsildars, Qanoongos, or ex-Army officers up to Subedar Major rank. Only the Revenue Assistant post, capped at 30 years, is aimed at fresh candidates. So this drive is really split into two very different applicant pools: retired provincial/army officials for the revenue-and-enforcement side, and fresh degree holders (Civil Engineering, Law, MBA, GIS) for the managerial and technical side.
Qualification highlights (a few notable ones):
- Judicial Magistrate: LLB with minimum 2 years active practice as an advocate plus a High Court license
- Manager GIS / GIS Supervisor / Assistant Developer GIS: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Geographical Information Systems from an HEC-recognized university, with 3–8 years of relevant experience depending on the post
- Manager Land Revenue / Inspector Land Revenue: reserved for retired Deputy Director/Tehsildar-level officials with 10–15 years in the Provincial/Land Revenue Department
- Revenue Assistant: Matric (2nd Division) with a 3-year Patwar Course — the only post here open to Matric-level candidates
Full qualification and experience details differ meaningfully by post, so don’t assume your degree qualifies you for a similar-sounding title — check the exact wording for your specific post before applying.

Candidates should apply strictly per their domicile/region against the applicable quota shown — the ad allows applying in more than one category if you meet the relevant criteria for each.
Selection process: 70% weight on written test, 30% on interview, per the ad’s own instructions. Government or Railways employees applying must go through proper departmental channel with an NOC.
Fringe Benefits: Accommodation may be provided on request per Railways’ priority list, TA/DA is admissible as per civil servant rules, salary increments are added for years of relevant experience, and selected candidates get duty passes/privilege passes/PTOs and medical facilities from Railways hospitals (excluding pension/gratuity/GPF benefits, since this is contract-based). The initial contract period is 2+1 years, extendable based on performance.
Given how heavily this ad relies on retired-official eligibility for several posts, it’s a good one to share with anyone from your network who’s recently retired from provincial land revenue or military service rather than just fresh graduates — worth keeping that audience distinction in mind if you’re sharing this further.
