National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) would facilitate pensioners by issuing them biometrics Smart Cards and they would be able to withdraw their pension from any biometrics enabled platform used by banks, post offices and any other alternate channels. In a briefing given to Chief Minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Chairman of NADRA, Tariq Malik said the proposed system comprises three main elements starting from the collection of pensioner’s data to eliminate duplication and ghost pensioners, issuance of Smart Identity Cards and then the deployment of Pension Disbursement system to be utilized by all disbursing partner entities. In this regard the Chief Minister assured complete support from KPK government in its application and implementation.
Impressed by the transparency and technology as maintained in this program, the CM gave his nod to NADRA to extend this programme to KPK.
