Administrator of Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) Dr Syed Saifur Rahman has directed all departments to physically verify if employees who are getting pension from the corporation were actually alive or not.
Chairing a meeting with the officers of the finance department on Friday, he said that an amount of Rs180 million is added every month to the pension head.
The increase is due to the fact that a large number of employees are retiring from the KMC and District Municipal Corporations, while Rs10 billion is owed in the head of gratuity and arrears of these employees.
