Benefits Institution (EOBI) ensures
pension for employees of private
concerns including advertising
agencies. Ad agencies pay 5%
monthly wages of employees to
EOBI and get registration cards.
Nowadays minimum pension is
Rs.3600 per month. Keeping in view
inflationary trends, it is very difficult
to live with the meager pension
amount.
In fiscal budget 2014-15, federal
government has fixed minimum
pension to Rs.6000 per month.
