    It is really a good news for pension to Overseas Pakistani, when it will be implemented and how much the contribution will be, what about those Pakistanis who are already left are will leave within next couple of days, the subject is very interested and beneficial for all overseas Pakistanis and i would suggest to start it at the earliest and i am confident you will receive a fantastic response in this regards.

    Thanks and Best Regards.

      Dear Fazal Wadood Khan sahib
      Please see above table for details. For example if you pay 12000 rupees one time, after 5 years your pension will be around 18000 per year and so on.
