I think these posts are not in Civil Secretariat so Special allowance and Secretariat allowance will not be admissible

Dear Imran Habib, I believe all employees, belong to any other department but working in Civil Secretariat Lahore, are eligible to get this allowance.

Because the aformentioned allowances are admissible to only those who are drawing there salaries from secreteriat payroll

If an employee is posted at anywhere out of Secretariat, Lahore his salary will not include Secretariat Allowance.
