6% Statutory Contribution
Total monthly contribution is 6% calculated against the statutory minimum wage: 5% paid by the employer and 1% deducted from the employee's salary.
Tax-Exempt Benefits
All EOBI old-age pensions, invalidity pensions, and survivors' pensions are 100% exempt from income tax under the Second Schedule of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001.
Minimum Monthly Pension Rates & Qualifying Conditions

| Old-Age Full Pension | 60 Years (55 for Mineworkers) | 15 Years (180 Months) | Rs. 10,000 – Rs. 11,500 / Month |
| Old-Age Grant (Lump-Sum) | 60 Years | 2 to 14 Years (24–179 Months) | One-time lump sum grant |

While older regulatory notices specified Rs. 8,500 and Rs. 10,000, the Federal Cabinet enhanced the minimum monthly pension to Rs. 11,500 with retroactive adjustments. Because individual pension formulas depend on average wage calculations and years of insurable service, pensioners are advised to verify their precise monthly credit on their designated bank account statement or EOBI portal ledger.

Frequently Asked Questions (EOBI Pension & Insured Status)
How do I check my EOBI pension and registration status online with my CNIC?
You can check your status by visiting the official EOBI web portal at eobi.gov.pk, navigating to the "Individual Information / Insured Person Details" section, entering your 13-digit CNIC without hyphens, and clicking submit. The portal displays your registration status (Active/Inactive), employer contribution history, and total insured service months.
What is the current minimum monthly EOBI pension in Pakistan?
The statutory minimum monthly pension historically stood at Rs. 8,500 and was subsequently increased to Rs. 10,000. Under recent Federal Cabinet notifications, the minimum monthly pension has been enhanced to Rs. 11,500 with retroactive disbursement adjustments. Beneficiaries should confirm their exact monthly credit via their designated EOBI bank ATM account or regional office.

To qualify for a full lifelong old-age pension under the EOB Act 1976, an insured worker (both male and female) must have reached 60 years of age (55 years for certified mineworkers) and accumulated at least 15 years (180 months) of insurable employment contributions. Workers with fewer than 15 years of service are eligible for an Old-Age Grant or pro-rated benefits.
What should I do if my CNIC shows "No Record" even though I worked in private companies for years?

To resolve this: (1) Contact your company’s HR/Accounts department to obtain your EOBI Registration Number (Form PE-01/PI-02), (2) Gather proof of employment including appointment letters, pay slips with EOBI deductions, and bank salary credit statements, and (3) Visit your nearest EOBI Regional Office to lodge a formal complaint for retroactive record recovery.
