Lahore: In a move to enhance the efficiency of pension management within the Punjab Police, AIG Finance SSP Muhammad Naveed chaired the 10th Police Pension Committee meeting at the Central Police Office in Lahore. The meeting brought together senior officers from various regions to tackle the longstanding issues surrounding police pensions.
According to Punjab Police, the gathering focused on accelerating the resolution of pending pension cases. AIG Finance Muhammad Naveed issued stringent directives to ensure that all pension-related matters are handled swiftly and efficiently. He emphasized the adoption of the FMS system for online processing of all employee pension cases and mandated that service profiles be updated systematically prior to retirement to avoid delays.
The directives stipulate that all ADIGs, Assistant Directors, and Office Superintendents are to finalize pension cases within a specified timeframe and report completed cases to the Central Police Office monthly. Naveed also mandated the submission of justification reports for any pending cases and insisted on a ‘No pendency of application Certificate’ during the Police Pension Committee’s monthly meetings.
Moreover, a procedural change was introduced, requiring that pension processing begins 120 days before an employee’s retirement date to ensure timely completion. This meeting marks a significant step towards rectifying pension delays and improving the overall welfare of Punjab Police employees.
The initiative reflects a broader commitment by the Punjab Police to uphold the rights and benefits of its workforce, ensuring that all members receive their due pensions without unnecessary hindrance.
