📋 Quick Overview – PSSSB Excise Inspector Admit Card Notice

📅 Important Dates

📌 Background: Why PSSSB Issued This Notice

The Punjab Subordinate Services Selection Board conducted the written examination for the Excise and Taxation Inspector post on 31 May 2026. However, several candidates encountered a technical glitch that resulted in the generation of more than one admit card for the same examination[reference:0].

To address this, the board initially issued a notice on 29 May 2026, instructing these candidates to appear for the exam using any single admit card. They were also given a deadline to report the issue to the board's office. Due to a typing error, the initial notice was dated 10 June 2025 instead of 10 June 2026. The board has now clarified this error and extended the deadline to provide relief to the affected candidates.

This recruitment drive aims to fill a total of 197 vacancies in the Excise and Taxation Department, Punjab, under Advertisement No. 01/2026[reference:1].
