In September 2018,
EOBI increased the monthly pension amount by 20 per cent.
The federal cabinet had already approved 20pc increase in the pensions of
EOBI pensioners which will be equally shared by the federal government and the
EOBI, official documents available with The Nation said.
Unfortunately the pleas of
EOBI pensioners have gone unheeded by the government.The last time the
EOBI pensions were raised was April 01, 2015 to Rs5,250 per month after three years (the last was Rs3,600 in 2012).
