As part of a comprehensive reform agenda for technological advancement and financial discipline, Radio Pakistan has developed a portal to digitize its pension payment system, making the process simple, transparent and smooth.

The PBC Pension Management System, which has been developed by the organization’s IT Wing, will have the provision to provide data of all the pensioners on one click.

Under this system, the pensioners have been facilitated to submit e-life certificates through smart phones or any other digital device from their homes instead of filing the certificates manually. Every pensioner will have access to his/her pension record and he/she may apply for any change in the record, if required.

The portal, which will be operational on Radio Pakistan’s website from 10th of the next month, is expected to greatly facilitate its around 3500 pensioners residing in length and breadth of the country.

Radio Pakistan’s Director General Saeed Ahmed Sheikh, who has been pursuing multiple reforms, believes that the PBC Pension Management System will also contribute to better financial management of the state broadcaster besides facilitating the pensioners.

The leading associations of pensioners of Radio Pakistan have welcomed this initiative and thanked Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar and Secretary Information Ambreen Jan for patronizing this transitioning, which basically aims at making their lives easier.

Radio Pakistan includes few oldest organizations of Pakistan, which are usually enumerated British legacy. It was 1936 when Britishers established first Radio station in present Pakistan’s city of Peshawar.
