PESHAWAR: The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has announced the launch of an online Pension Management Information System to ensure the timely and transparent processing of pension cases. This system will be implemented starting today, March 5.
According to the announcement, the initiative aims to allow for online tracking of pension cases, expedite approvals, and facilitate coordinated communication among different offices, ensuring that retiring employees do not experience unnecessary delays.
As stated in the department statement, District Education Officers (both male and female) and related officials will gain technical access to the system through their EMIS logins. Pension applicants will also be able to submit their applications online using their existing EMIS accounts.
Under the new system, the Education Department will serve as the system owner and technical administrator, responsible for managing system configuration, user access, and functionality.
Field offices will oversee the system’s management. The Director General will handle the scrutiny, approval, and data monitoring of pension cases, while also coordinating with the Finance Department and the Accountant General of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
District Education Officers have been directed to review pension cases, verify documents at the district level, return incomplete applications, and ensure timely processing. Once an employee submits an application, it will be sent to the concerned office within three days.
The scrutiny at the Sub-District Education Officer (SDEO) level will be completed in seven days, followed by scrutiny at the District Education Officer (DEO) level, and approval by the Directorate will also take seven days. The final approval from the Education Department will occur within another seven days.
