Federal Government Implements Extended Family Pension Scheme

Pakistan-In a significant policy shift, the federal government has established a new 10-year duration for family pensions following the death of retired employees. This development aims to provide extended financial support to the families of deceased retirees.

Additionally, the government has announced a substantial increase in family pensions for personnel from the armed forces and civil armed forces. This enhancement will see pensions rise by up to 50%, with the increase calculated based on the last pension amount received by the deceased individual.

One of the notable aspects of this policy update is the provision for children of deceased retirees who are disabled or have special needs. Such children will now be entitled to receive the family pension for life, ensuring long-term financial security for these vulnerable dependents.

These measures are part of the broader amendments to the recommendations made by the Pay and Pension Commission in 2020. As part of these amendments, the duration of family pensions for martyrs has been extended to 25 years, reflecting the government’s commitment to supporting the families of those who have made significant sacrifices.

The adjustments mark a significant step in enhancing the support provided to the families of retired and deceased employees, particularly benefiting those from the armed forces and civil armed forces sectors. The changes are expected to provide much-needed financial stability and acknowledge the contributions of those who have served the nation.
