Notably, the portal additionally provides SMS alerts to registered mobile numbers when a pension is issued or a deduction is created. Employees approaching retirement can have their data uploaded to the system through their respective departments before retirement.

In practice, the administration has additionally introduced biometric verification for pensioners. Instead of submitting a Life Certificate at a bank twice a year, pensioners can complete verification through fingerprint authentication at a bank branch or a biometric enabled ATM every six months.

For context, the administration is additionally working on mobile applications that may allow pensioners to complete verification from home using a mobile phone camera for facial or fingerprint verification. If the required biometric verification is not completed within the specified period, the pension account may be temporarily blocked and restored after successful verification.

To register for the online pension system, an employee must have their data uploaded to the portal by their department. The required information includes a Computerized National Identity Card, personal number and active mobile phone number.

Once the data entry process is completed, the employee receives a unique Pension ID that can be applied to access pension related services and track the progress of their case. Stay Connected with ProPakistani.
