EOBI Announces Major Pension Increase Benefiting Pensioners Nationwide

The Employees Old Age Benefits Institution (EOBI) has unveiled a significant pension increase, marking a positive step for pensioners across Pakistan. Effective January 1, 2025, the minimum pension will increase from Rs10,000 to Rs11,500, while pensions above Rs10,000 will also see a 15% hike.

This decision was made following a review meeting on Monday, chaired by Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis, Salik Hussain. During the meeting, EOBI’s performance for the fiscal year 2024-25 was evaluated, revealing a remarkable 40% increase in the institution’s revenue, which reached Rs 116 billion, compared to the previous year.

The briefing also outlined future plans, including expanding EOBI’s coverage to institutions with fewer than 10 employees, ensuring that more workers can benefit from pension schemes. In addition, the government has decided to extend EOBI coverage to various sectors such as agriculture, domestic work, finance, and legal institutions, further broadening the scope of social security in the country.

The formal announcement of this pension increase will coincide with Labor Day on May 1, 2025, providing a timely and much-needed boost to pensioners and reinforcing Pakistan’s commitment to improving social welfare.

  1. 📢 Attention EOBI Officials | Pensioners Await Promised 15% Increase

    As of August 2025, EOBI pensioners have not yet received the 15% increase in pension that was announced for implementation from January 2025.

    🔸 8 months have passed without any notification or disbursement of the increase.
    🔸 This delay is causing serious financial hardship for thousands of elderly citizens who rely solely on EOBI pensions.
    🔸 Transparency and timely action are urgently needed.

    📌 We request the EOBI Board and Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis & HRD to:

    1. Issue a clear statement regarding the delay.

    2. Announce the release date for the increased pension.

    3. Ensure arrears from January 2025 are also paid.

    Let’s uphold the rights and dignity of our senior citizens.
