The Finance Division of Pakistan issued a notification about the pensioners who are receiving multiple pensions at the same time. The notification was issued on January 01, 2025.
Multiple Pension Notification
As per the notification, there are two conditions for the pensioner to choose from. According to Pay and Pension Commission-2020, it has been decided that henceforth, in an event where a person becomes entitled to more than one pension, such person shall be only be authored to opt to draw one of the pensions, provided that;
- Whereas in-service Federal Government employees become entitled to pension such Federal Government employees shall not be eligible to receive such pension.
- The in-serve/pensioner spouse shall be eligible for the pension of his/her spouse in addition to his/her pay/pension
These existing instructions on the subject shall stand amended to the extent of above with immediate effect.
Explanatory Note
The new recommendation of the Pay and Pension Commission is that a person cannot get two pensions at the same time. Multiple pensions have been abolished by the Federal Government. Sometimes an employee is getting two or more pensions. For example, Ms. Ayesha is getting her pension, her husband’s pension, and her parents’ pension. These two or more than two pensions have a much loss on the treasury. Therefore, the government abolished such pensions with some conditions.
