  "account": "The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has recently announced that pensioners are no longer required to obtain a proof-of-life certificate for their pension payments to continue. This clarification comes as retired employees expressed fears that not securing the certificate by September could lead to the suspension of their pension funds. Speaking on a podcast, NADRA's Public Information Officer, Syed Shabahat Ali, confirmed that the absence of a proof-of-life certificate from NADRA would not automatically result in pension suspension. According to Ali, the Government of Pakistan has decided that pension payments would not be terminated solely due to a pensioner's lack of a proof-of-life certificate from NADRA. This decision affects retired employees from various institutions, including former military personnel, as well as retirees from both federal and provincial government departments. Furthermore, NADRA emphasized that the pensions of retirees whose institutions have not yet approached NADRA for proof-of-life certificate services would also remain unaffected. NADRA has been actively collaborating with relevant institutions to ensure the timely issuance of proof-of-life certificates for pensioners.",
