EOBI pensions

The PTI government is to announce its first formal budget for financial year 2019-2020 on June 11, 2019. The government should resolve the long-standing issue of ensuring a considerable increase in EOBI pensions from the current Rs6500 per month to minimum Rs20,000 per month.The current pension amount is a meagre one and not even sufficient to run one’s kitchen. A retired person is in dire need of proper medical care, in addition to many other hardships faced in post-retirement life. One of the agendas of the PTI-led government was reforms in EOBI pensions. The prime minister should immediately take notice of this serious issue and should approve increase in pension amounts to a minimum Rs20,000/month to be announced on June 11.Engr Asim NawabIslamabad
