PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has decided to abolish pension and graduation facility for government employees recruited in all departments in future and set up a contribution fund in this regard. With the deduction will be made in which money will also be collected by the provincial government.
In this regard, a few days ago, a draft amendment to the Civil Servants Act was tabled in the Provincial Assembly, which has been approved. Pension and graduation of all the employees of the provincial cadre who are currently working in the departments permanently will be protected.
According to the law, all the employees who will be recruited in future will be considered as government but they will not get pension and graduation facility. However, they will be given graduation from the Contribution Fund set up by the government. In case of early retirement, they will also be entitled to graduation. In case of death, the money deposited in the Contribution Fund will be transferred to the children. Employees who have been fired in their lifetime for violating discipline will not be entitled to the pension.
The government can approve the compensation allowance for the employee at its discretion, while a part of the contributory fund can also be given while the CP fund of the employees can also be transferred to the GP fund. It should be noted that this law was proposed a few months ago. Due to objections, it was not introduced in the Provincial Assembly but due to favorable circumstances, this law has been passed.
