Dear Sir ,I just need one clarification ,we are the permanent residents of Islamabad, whenever we collect information about domicile with multiple persons ,he said that for job in private and government organization you don’t need domicile for that you just need to show him your CNIC is that right or we have to apply for Domicile???
Regards.
For private institutions, it may be right but to work in Govt you must have domicile of Islamabad. Otherwise, you can’t apply for a Govt job.
