The Sindh government has decided to ensure that employees retiring from January 1, 2027, receive their pension and other basic financial dues on the day they retire. Sindh Chief Secretary Asif Hyder Shah made the decision while chairing a meeting to review pension and medical reimbursement issues.
Shah directed provincial departments to clear pending pension bills within three months and ensure employees receive their financial entitlements on their final day of service. He said employees should not have to repeatedly visit government offices to claim their dues.
The chief secretary also ordered the formation of an inter-departmental task force, headed by the Services Department secretary, to develop a system for timely pension payments. The task force will include representatives from the Accountant General Sindh, Finance, Health, General Administration and other relevant departments and will submit its operational framework within one week.
The meeting also reviewed delays in medical reimbursement claims. Shah said administrative hurdles, rather than funding or policy issues, caused the delays. He directed officials to reduce paperwork and simplify procedures involving incomplete documents, e-verification and no-objection certificates.
He also ordered a joint review of the medical reimbursement process to make it faster and easier for employees and their families.
