PENSION WELFARE CELL
Pension rules place adequate emphasis on timely finalization of pension
cases. However, the situation on ground often reflects institutional indifference as
pensioners are seen struggling for pension benefits days and even months after their
retirement. Given the magnitude of delays in pension cases a mechanism to ensure timely
processing of the pension cases of the ‘would be retires’ needed to be developed. To this
end, Establishment Division took lead and believing in “timely begun is timely done”,
devised a mechanism to timely initiate and complete pension cases. It is important to note
that this mechanism does not reinvent the process; it rather organizes the process in light
of all relevant laws/rules with a facilitative approach, to mitigate and eliminate suffering of
retiring employees by timely disbursement of pension.
2. The mechanism comprises of four key components, which are briefly given
below;
To accord priority to pension cases, separate Pension Cell has been set
up with dedicated HR headed by a Welfare Officer (Pension) WO (P) and
a job description has been framed to give clarity of his role and
responsibility.

received out of which Twenty-four (24) were decided by the appellate Authorities i.e.
the Prime Minister and Establishment Secretary.

the due process as indicated to them through the check-list. Thus, at times, the reports are
sent back to the AO to remove and rectify the deficiencies.
There are also cases when de-novo proceedings have to be conducted to
remove the infirmities and lacunae in such cases or when the Authority does not agree with
the recommendations of the AO. Occasionally, disciplinary proceedings stand abated against
accused officers, on their superannuation, because of this inordinate delay. Besides, non-
availability of timeframe in the Rules ibid, for finalization of these proceedings, and inter
Divisional consultation also hamper timely finalization of these cases.
Another very important weak link in this process is that the there is no clause or
rule in the Rules Ibid which outlines any action against the AO or IO, in case, it is observed
that they are delaying the inquiry or, in case, it is observed that they have not diligently
carried out the process.
CONCLUSION:
i. Disciplinary Cases: During the year 2016-17, 162 (one hundred and sixty-two)
disciplinary cases were initiated against the officers belonging to PAS / PSP /

Civil Servants (Appeal) Rules, 1977, were received out of which 16 (Sixteen) were
submitted to the Prime Minister’s office for orders of the Prime Minister / Appellate
Authority. The Prime Minister passed orders on 10 (ten) appeals, accepting 02 (Two)
and rejecting 08 (Eight) appeals, while 06 (Six) appeals are pending in that Office.
Remaining 14 (Fourteen) appeals were finalized under the competency of this
Division . In addition to the cases as detailed above, in 22 (Twenty-two) cases of

SWO submitted various Development Schemes for the Financial Year 2016-17 to
achieve 100 % Goals/Targets.
The total revenue amounting to Rs.15.103 Million generated from SWO’s different
schemes was deposited into Government Treasury during the Financial Year 2016-17. It is
too difficult to maintain SWO buildings/infrastructure in the absence of allocation of budget
for repair maintenance of SWO buildings.
Non-availability of finances for development project badly affected the projects and
completion of such projects also delayed for many years.
Conclusion:
SWO is providing its facilities to the F.G. Employees & their dependents throughout
the country with its full dedication, zeal and enthusiasm and working day and night for
accomplishment of its set Target/Goals. During last Financial Year 2015-16 SWO
completed/achieved its 100% targets and goals pertaining to the regular schemes. While
targets pertaining to Development projects, SWO succeeded to achieve more than 70% of
its Target / Goals.
It is fact that few reforms have been introduced such as, increase in SWO
schemes. Revision of SWO schemes rates charges and introduction of new
market/employment oriented courses in LIH, VTC and TTC, we can not only serve in a
better way to the F.G. Employee & their dependent but also can get handsome increase in
revenue.
There is always room for improvement and to run SWO business in a better way
the Officers and Staff are committed but there is need of support by superiors and
sufficient funds so that SWO may address maximum number of Federal Government
Employees.

FEDERAL EMPLOYEES BENEVOLENT & GROUP INSURANCE FUNDS
INTRODUCTION
The Federal Employees Benevolent & Group Insurance Funds (FEB&GIF) were
established in April 1969 through promulgation of the FEBF & GI Act, 1969. Objective of
launching the FEBF & GI scheme is to provide financial relief in the shape of Benevolent
Grant, Sum Assured and other benefits to the Federal Government/autonomous bodies’
employees and their families. Presently, it is covering more than 649,000 employees.
2. The basic role of the Federal Employees Benevolent and Group Insurance Funds is
to provide financial relief to the Federal Government employees/their family members. The
Funds collect contributions from the employees, invest surplus funds and provide financial
benefits under its welfare schemes as admissible under the provisions of the Federal
Employees Benevolent Fund and Group Insurance Act, 1969 and the Rules made
thereunder. The FEB & GIF are managed by a Board of Trustees constituted under
Section 4 of the FEBF & GI Act, 1969.
85
- Rule 19 of FEBF & GI Rules, 1972
viii. Annual Cash Awards on Essay Writing Competition among children of Federal
Government employees.
d. Preparation of proposals for further improvement in the benefits admissible under the
Federal Employees Benevolent Fund & Group Insurance Act, 1969 and the Rules made
thereunder.
e. Utilization of surplus funds by introducing new schemes for the welfare of the employees
and their family members.
Goals
4. Provide common benefits to the Federal Government employees and certain autonomous
bodies and to provide for their group Insurance Fund.
Targets set for the year 2016-17
86
a) There was a total receipt of Rs. 8,938.11 million on account of contributions,
investment income and BF building rent while total grants paid by the FEB & GIF
under its welfare schemes were Rs. 5,593.989 million.
b) The Honorable Prime Minister of Pakistan approved enhancement in amount of
Marriage Grant from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 100,000 on marriage of one orphan
daughter of a Government servant who dies after retirement. In this regard,
necessary amendment in Rule 19 of the FEB & GIF has been made and notified in
Gazette Notification on 03-01-2017.
7. With a view to construct buildings for raising rental income of the Funds, development
work on two valuable plots of the FEB & GIF is in hand. Latest actions in this regard are
as under:
Construction of BF Tower on plot in Blue Area has been started in October, 2017. It
is a 30 level tower with Shopping Mall, Cineplex, Food Court, Health Club, Office
floors and Roof top restaurant.
87
8. Objective of launching the FEB & GIF schemes, as specified in the preamble of the
Federal Employees Benevolent Fund and
Grants disbusres during 2016-17 (Rs. in million)
Group Insurance Act, 1969 was to provide
2141.13
common benefits to the Federal Government
employees and certain autonomous bodies
and to provide for their Group Insurance Fund. 1215.98
953.62
864.77
9. In addition to the above objectives of
the Funds, Sections 14-A, and 17(5) of the 337.02
11. The Board of Trustees of FEB & GI Funds is conscious of the fact that
maximum benefits should be extended to the employees/their families and every year, the
88
Board reviews the position of benefits in light of the recommendations of Consultant
Actuary. During the last five years, the Funds position was as under:
12. The above table reveals that a total amount of Rs. 5,593.989 million has
been disbursed to the 150,940 beneficiaries during the year 2016-17 while contributions to
the tune of Rs. 6,517.930 million were received from the employees.
13. Sections 12 & 18 of FEBF & GI Act, 1969, specifies that every Federal
Government employee is liable to contribute an amount specified in Rule 6 of FEBF & GI
Rules, 1972. The contributions towards Group Insurance Fund in respect of the non-
gazetted employees are not recovered from their pay; these are paid by the Finance
Division vide their letter No.F.6.II/69-B.III-703 dated 15.08.1982. It has been observed that
the contributions payable by the Finance Division are neither released in time nor is the
entire amount of contributions paid which causes difficulties for the FEB & GI Funds
towards releasing financial benefits to the non-gazetted employees and their families. For
the year 2016-17 Finance Division has not paid Rs. 5,019.14 million of its committed
obligations.
Conclusion

benefits under its welfare schemes.
