ISLAMABAD: With the potential of being financially beneficial to the public exchequer, the smart identity card initiative of the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) will soon be used to disburse pensions among retired government employees. The Smart National Identity Card (SNIC) will replace the old manual pension book system, in which millions of ghost pensioners were registered and were drawing money from the government’s kitty, causing losses worth billions of rupees.
