The EOBI pension update 2025 brings good news for pensioners: the government has approved a 15% increase in pensions and launched a new EOBI Sahulat Card across Pakistan. This change is intended to help retirees deal with inflation and simplify how they receive their pension. However, rumors about a Rs. 50,000 monthly pension are false—only the 15% raise is officially confirmed.
EOBI (Employees’ Old-Age Benefits Institution) is the federal pension scheme for private sector workers. To qualify, a person must have worked in a registered company with employer contributions, have at least 15 years of insured service, and reach the retirement age (60 years for men and 55 years for women). Widows or dependents of EOBI pensioners also qualify under certain rules.

EOBI Pension Update October 2025
| Feature | Details |
| Pension increase | 15% across the board |
| New minimum pension | Rs. 11,500 per month (was Rs. 10,000) |
| Arrears | Paid from September 2025 onward |
This increase benefits over 430,000 pensioners nationwide, giving them greater financial breathing space.
A rumor has circulated that EOBI will grant a Rs. 50,000 monthly pension to retirees. But so far, no official notification supports that claim. The only approved change is the 15% rise and the updated minimum pension of Rs. 11,500.
What Is the EOBI Sahulat Card?
Along with the pension raise, EOBI is rolling out the Sahulat Card. This is a smart card designed to make pension distribution easier and safer. The card will:
- Allow ATM withdrawals
- Use biometric verification (no middlemen or agents)
- Offer discounts on groceries, medicines, and partner stores
- Give back some benefits in hospitals and healthcare
- Help in digital tracking of pension history and benefits.

Final Thoughts
The EOBI pension update 2025 marks a positive shift. The 15% raise and the Sahulat Card rollout reflect a move toward modernization and support for retirees. Still, the Rs. 50,000 pension claims are not real—stick to official sources for accurate information. Pensioners should apply for the Sahulat Card and monitor their status via the EOBI portal or regional offices. With these changes, the system aims to become more transparent, efficient, and respectful to those who built the nation through years of work.
