Jobseekers to pay extra for applying online for govt jobs
Jobseekers
to pay extra for applying online for govt jobs
A jobseeker from now on has to pay
commission and value-added tax on top of the application fee while applying
online for government jobs
A circular from the finance ministry
on Thursday said such VAT and commission, however, will not be applicable if
the application is submitted in person.
But if a jobseeker want to apply
online for a government job, he/she has to pay a 10 per cent commission on the
application fee and a 15 per cent VAT on the commission.
The authorities will be able to
receive the application fee through Teletalk Bangladesh Ltd, the notice said.
Earlier, this 10 percent commission
on the application fee was also effective but it was not collected from
jobseekers and there was no VAT on commission either.
Meanwhile, last year government has
increased the fees for applying for government jobs.
According to that notification, the
application fee for jobs in ninth grade or above increased by Tk 100 to Tk
600.
However, the application fee
remained unchanged in grade 10 as the fee is Tk 500
