How to Fill FPSC Challan Form 32-A in 2026: Head of Account, Fee Slabs & Submission Guide

One of the most frequent reasons applications get rejected by the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) is an incorrectly filled or improperly stamped Treasury Challan Form (Form 32-A / T.R-6).

Unlike provincial tests where automated mobile wallets handle entire forms automatically, FPSC strictly requires valid treasury deposit verification before your online profile can be processed. Entering the wrong Head of Account, writing an incorrect Case Number, or losing your verified bank receipt can disqualify you on test day.

This comprehensive guide breaks down each column of the FPSC challan form, provides the official fee schedule across basic pay scales, and explains how to submit your fees without errors.

1. Official FPSC Application Fee Slabs (2026 Schedule)

Before printing your challan form, ensure you are depositing the exact prescribed fee for the Basic Pay Scale (BPS / BS) of the post you are applying for:

Note: If you are applying for multiple posts across different case numbers in the same advertisement, you must submit a separate challan for each post.

2. Official Head of Account Code

The National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) and State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) will only accept your deposit under the designated government account heading:

• Major Head of Account: C02101 - Organs of State - Exam Fee (FPSC Receipt)

• (Alternatively categorized under C02104 - Organs of State - Collection of Payments for Services Rendered in provincial/federal treasury catalogs).

• Designation & Beneficiary: Secretary, Federal Public Service Commission, Islamabad.

This code is pre-printed on official FPSC challan templates. If using a general Treasury 32-A blank receipt, this line must be filled out by hand.

3. Step-by-Step: How to Fill Each Column of Challan 32-A

An FPSC Challan comes in a set of 4 duplicate copies (quadruplicate format):

1. FPSC Copy (Original)

2. Candidate's Copy (Duplicate)

3. Treasury Copy (Triplicate)

4. Bank Copy (Quadruplicate)

You must fill out all four copies identically before submitting them to the bank cashier.

Column 1: By Whom Tendered

• Write your Full Name exactly as it appears on your Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC).

Column 2: Name, Designation & Address on Whose Behalf Money is Paid

• Write: Secretary, Federal Public Service Commission, Islamabad.

• Add your Candidate CNIC Number right below this line to ensure the payment binds directly to your identity.

Column 3: Full Particulars of the Remittance & Authority

• Write the Case Number of the vacancy (e.g., F.4-120/2026-R). The Case Number is listed in the official FPSC consolidated advertisement next to each post title.

• Write the Post Name and Department (e.g., Inspector Customs / Preventive Officer, Federal Board of Revenue).

• Mention the Basic Pay Scale (e.g., BS-16).

Column 4: Amount

• Write the exact numerical amount corresponding to your grade (e.g., Rs. 600/-).

• In the Rupees in Words field below, write: Six Hundred Rupees Only.

Candidate Signature Line

• Sign each copy in the designated space (Signature of Candidate / Remitter).

4. Where and How to Deposit the Challan

1. Authorized Banks: FPSC examination fees must be deposited in any branch of the National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) or the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) / Government Treasury Offices.

2. Branch Officer Signature & Stamp: After receiving your cash, the cashier and bank officer will stamp and sign all 4 copies with:

   • The Bank Branch Name and Branch Code.

   • The Date of Deposit.

   • A unique Receipt / Challan Number assigned by the bank.

3. Receipt Handover: The bank keeps the Bank and Treasury copies and returns the Original (FPSC Copy) and Candidate's Copy to you.

Online Payment Note (1Link / PSID)

While FPSC has integrated 1Link PSID features on select portal workflows, direct physical counter deposits at the National Bank remain the standard verification method across all general recruitment advertisements. If you pay via a 1Link invoice, ensure you save the digital receipt showing the unique PSID and transaction timestamp.

5. Entering Challan Details in the FPSC Online Application

Once you return from the bank with your stamped receipts, proceed to the FPSC Online Application Portal to submit:

1. Challan Deposit Date: Enter the exact date stamped by the bank.

2. Fee Amount: Select the matching fee paid (e.g., 600, 1500, 2500, 3000).

3. Bank Name & Code: Select National Bank of Pakistan (or State Bank) and enter the 4-digit branch code from the stamp.

4. Bank Location / District: Select the city/district where the branch is located.

5. Original Receipt Preservation: You do not need to post the paper challan right away, but you MUST present the original stamped FPSC/Candidate Copy at the test center on the exam day. Candidates without original stamped receipts will not be permitted to sit for the examination.

Common Mistakes That Lead to Rejection

• Depositing After the Closing Date: The bank transaction timestamp must be on or before the closing date stated in the advertisement. Fees paid after 11:59 PM on the deadline day are rejected.

• Incorrect Case Number: Writing an incorrect case number diverts your fee to a different recruitment file, invalidating your roll number generation.

• Using Private Commercial Banks: Do not deposit money in private commercial banks (such as HBL, UBL, MCB) unless an official 1Link PSID billing invoice is specifically generated from the FPSC portal. Standard manual forms must go through NBP/SBP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use one challan form for multiple FPSC jobs?

No. Every single vacancy has an individual Case Number. You must deposit separate challan fees for each role you apply for.

Is the FPSC application fee refundable?

No. Fees deposited into the Federal Treasury under the FPSC account are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable under all circumstances.

What should I do if the bank clerk forgets to write the branch code?

Always verify your stamped challan before leaving the bank counter. If the branch code is missing, request the cashier to stamp the official branch code stamp beside their signature, as the FPSC online portal requires this code.
