Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Establishment, Mr. Mohammad Shehzad Arbab visited Pension Welfare Cell today here at Establishment Division.
Arbab was briefed about the working of the Pension Welfare Cell. He was apprised that Establishment Division was the first one to establish this model Pension Cell which ensures to provide the pension benefits to the retired employees without any delay and discomfort. One year prior to the retirement of an employee, Pension Cell starts the process of completing his documents. Three months before the retirement, his case for the retirement benefits is forwarded to AGPR. Upon retirement, the employee is provided the Pension Payment Order (PPO). The objective of establishing Pension Cell was to save the retired employees from all the hassle which they had to go through previously in order to get their due benefits.
Arbab stated on the occasion that after a long service to the Government of Pakistan, retired employees deserve the respectable and compassionate treatment and provision of retirement benefits in an honourable manner reflects our social values. He stressed that pension cells on the pattern of Establishment Division need to be set up in all the ministries/ divisions. He directed that the matter must be taken up in the next Secretaries Committee meeting.
